    It’s tough because unfortunately infrastructure is extremely expensive, especially when you’re running big and heavy locos. Railways are changing with the times, unfortunately there are fewer and fewer trained and qualified people with first...

    Whilst I’m pleased that the Jacobite is now up to 2 trains a day so that more people can enjoy the ride, I won’t be rushing up there to photograph the dog’s dinner of a rake that’s forming the afternoon train.

    Ok, carriages. For me they need to be clean, and ‘look clean’ - ie no rips and tears etc; windows reasonably clean; opening toplights for sound; heating working in all carriages in winter; toilets working (on longer lines eg NYMR); tungsten...

    I suspect that I too, as a regular critic of NYMR management, must bear the brunt of your thoughts. My excuse, if excuse I need, is that as a former volunteer across a 30 year timespan I saw first hand just how inept the senior management/CEO...

    I think the more instructive piece of research might be “how many people in the UK are even aware of the existence of heritage railways?” I don’t think it is many. A few years ago (2020) Steam Illuminations on the Watercressline was national...

    The one we did, Alycidon, caught fire earlier down the ECML, but made a recovery, and we got to Edinburgh about on time. Then had a great run back down the ECML with Tornado.
