Back when I worked on the W&L in the late 80s there were several locals who used the train every market day to go shopping in Welshpool. The last return was often late while we waited for them to struggle back with their shopping. And one old...

We used to stop at Farwath several times a week to take the lady who lived at the farm there to and from Pickering. She didn’t drive and used to make besom brooms which she sold in the market. All part of a service long gone.

Pity as walkers they never tried to open Farwath as a halt, pleasant trek from Pickering, slightly tricky from Levisham.

That's basically it. One of the problems of running a steam loco to Whitby is that it has to have a fitness to run exam every morning and, if it fails, it can't be used. It can't have an FTR the evening before to check that all is OK. Well, it...

From what I read in the house magazine, the KWVR is one possible exception.

I went on holiday to Yorkshire in summer 2023 (I think). We, as a train loving family, went to a variety of heritage lines. I'll talk here about the NYMR and the KWVR. In the case of the former, we stayed for a week near Grosmont. In the latter...

This is a change that has been increasingly obvious just looking around at the pubs I frequent. With 38% of the population now over 50, perhaps not surprising. It poses one of the many challenges of adaptation required by heritage railways.

For me, no steam, no go. (Maybe for a 50% discount, but only if I’m in the area and I need to make the trip for other reasons).

Lack of steam is the big flaw with the NYMR in recent times. I think weirdly its been even worse since the Gold timetable was binned. I used to be willing to travel to the NYMR fairly frequently because they were almost guaranteed to run...

Actually I was considering going over there tomorrow. Being in the category ageing steam buff, I can't handle the heat, so tomorrow looks good from a weather pov. But oh dear it looks like it is diesel dominated this week and £35 (actually £55...

I found it fairly easy to do so. Descending the bank from Goathland to Grosmont, once up to speed I’d drop the vacuum to about 15-16” which would be about the balancing braking to keep the speed steady. Some slight adjustment was always...

Not really, I knew all that, it wasn’t the question I asked it was about maintaining a level of brake force eg 15 in of vacuum without constantly adjusting the brake valve

One of the things that I class as a part of the heritage experience when visiting a heritage railway is the issue of an Edmondson card ticket stamped in a dating press. It’s such a simple thing to do and provides an experience of something once...

I'm not altogether surprised at the pattern - going out for a restaurant grade meal deep in the country is something I'd be reluctant to do if I weren't staying within walking distance after the meal. I've done it before, and the drive home...
