    A classic example in this photograph of the perils of not clearing lineside vegetation. The metal cabinet didn't catch fire, it was obviously surrounded by vegetation that did and the contents of the cabinet were effectively "cooked". I am old...

    Well we thought we were on the move, but now aren't again.. Really feel for VT, seems the communication from NR hasn't been what it should be.

    What has to be remembered, when moaning about the diesel doing most of the work, that the cross section of passengers on the train means that there is practically no option to cancel the train when Network Rail impose Red restrictions to steam...

    A very significant share of the people who are buying seats on heritage lines are 'ordinary people' (i.e. 'not us'). What do they think? I'm not sure, but I have to think that, for an ordinary person, steam trains are a big part of the picture of...

    I was looking at some reviews for another railway last night and the recent negative reviews were from people who had been expecting steam but got diesel. Yes the balance may be shifting but for many steam is still the expectation Jon

    Don I don’t know where you get your Rules information from, but the “ban” on a locomotive on the rear of a train providing traction power was dropped many years ago.

    Using diesel may cost, idk, £500 more per day but if the result is a guaranteed steam journey with 2253, the trip it will pay for itself. Using a class 37 could put off 50 to 100 or more people a day.
