It's a shame, really. Had 6880 been announced for what is now on the website - coming to the SVR for running-in and then staying to work trains in...
I've also been wondering this. Given it was previously announced as being there, I'd hope there would be another formal announcement if that...
In truth 813 is a greater disappointment than 6880 for me. I like 813 a lot and (for understandable reasons) it's rarely been used on public...
Thank you (and to Matt too) for the info. I was at that one myself, and I do remember a *lot* of praise for 828 in particular. Gorgeous engine.
Slightly different situation I know, but in spring 2012(?) when Bittern came to the SSG, wasn't there some doubt about that being ready until...
Re the DMU, in any case it could be seen as a fair swap given that 7714 featured at the last diesel gala!
No specific mention of 60532's current status there that I can see, unless I've misunderstood that thread or I'm misinterpreting your reply in...
I agree, I've never liked the "per direction of travel" aspect (does any other line do it that way?) but it's been around for so long that I tend...
Pleasantly surprised to see most fares held; I'd been expecting a small rise. The standardisation of short hop fares does have its winners and...
Further to the SVR information posted above, details are now on the website: https://svr.co.uk/event/february-half-term-2024/ Highley explictly...
Am I right in thinking that (if it becomes the final calendar) is an increase in total operating days from 2023? Good news if so as it implies the...
I live in Bewdley, and it's been a pretty bad one here, though the peak was on Friday. Definitely a serious flood in my book. On a happier note,...
Apologies, I wasn't very clear. I meant that barring disaster, there will certainly be *some* opportunities for me to see and/or travel behind...
I agree with you. Personally I'm disappointed that 2253 won't be running, if not enormously surprised given as already mentioned it's not had the...
I visited yesterday and had a good day, certainly much more positive than negative. The weather wasn't great and I'm sorry for those who were...
