    A bit of bad news on the GCRN's Facebook page this evening. [ATTACH] Between the cancelled midweek running days over the Summer and the lost revenue and reputation there, and the running cancelled over the weekend thanks to this, and the lost...

    Forgot to mention that on the Sunday on my first train I travelled in the railways new Mk1 "wet room" (the one that appeared to have been through the coach wash with a droplight open). Not sure it will catch on though, unless they provide soap...

  6. silversteellady liked GWR4707's post in the thread Steamtown Carnforth.

    In theory yes, but it depends on an LPA having the balls (and financial/staff resources) to actually apply the process and most Councils just don't have that capacity any more. A video shared locally today suggests the box has already been...

  10. silversteellady liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I think everyone posting on this thread has a desire to see the railway succeed and prosper well into the future. There’s no doubt about that. That’s why they are posting on here and looking for change. And that change has to be far more than...

  12. silversteellady liked Lineisclear's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    After the angst and acrimony expressed on here recently it was a delight to see photos and videos of the first day of the Autumn Steam Gala. Even though we may disagree on some things it’s a reminder of the fundamental cause that unites us. Sadly...
