Spitfire antwortete auf das Thema Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
At the NNR we’re currently undertaking a resignalling project at Sheringham which limits what we can run. Cream Tea reservations and advance sales meant that some trains were full on Sunday and a handful of visitors weren’t able to travel. Had...

Would that have been BR driver John Baker? We know he was on the BR Class 03 Drewry locos that worked the freight trains on K&ESR in the lines last few years. He was also a mainline Hasting DEMU driver. Went on to be a K&ESR volunteer driver...

But what if the train is full, and they don't do standing passengers? What else can they do, but turn last-minute arrivals away? Add on another coach (if they have one) at the last minute? Noel

Well based on the fact that from my experience from viewing coaches at Swanage, and my wife's from 3 or 4 coach tours in the last two years it is a market segment that is likely to be hit far later than sooner, due to the fact it is mainly old...

Unfortunately for you guys the likes of Caledonian Travel provide a very regular and worthwhile source of income to the railway and as a result its finances have improved no end. I get the impression that you are assuming that as a heritage...

just for context the EMF are actively working on 5164 to be restored for SVR use as well as operating both 7802 and 7812 . Steaming fees allow the fund to manage the loco overhauls and keep engines in steam without years out of service waiting in...

I agree. I think the problem is the NYMR have over complicated things and made virtually every ticket available to buy online. The KESR have 5 tickets listed on the website (adult, child, senior, small or large family), and they're all day...

I believe they also tried to say that the Bluebell couldn't have an engine named "Stepney", until it was pointed out that the loco had first borne that name around 90 years before the book was written and therefore had prior claim! It always...
