    I think there are two separate conversations going on here, which are being elided, not necessarily helpfully. One is the “is it prudent to run steam in the current weather conditions?” question. That is clearly a local decision, based on the...

    The nationwide steam ban is irrelevant. Its up to the railway to risk assess the hazards and make a decision based on their circumstances. At the K&ESR we havent been running steam engines on passenger trains since early June. The photo (DJ Bray)...

    Well while much of the UK sweltered on the hottest day of the current heatwave here is Thursday afternoons Jacobite standing in a very wet Arisaig - no steam ban here:). At 21-22 degrees it was about 15 degrees cooler than some of the hottest...

    90733 and 5775 are currently being overhauled. The Jinty was extracted from Oxenhope earlier this year for assessment. The S160 is also been assessed.

    A “like” for that would feel wrong, but thank you for the explanation; and my heartfelt sympathy for your situation. Tom

    FWIW, I too support @Dumb buffer 's stance, having spoken to @Lineisclear in person a little while ago last time he was at Winchcombe box, so folks can take my word for it too if it helps. We may disagree on a lot here, but John is always up for...

    There is no need to take my word for it's the truth. Lineisclear has given his reasons on another forum why he is standing down. I'm not going to repeat why as it's not my place and it's his choice what and where he makes this public. There are...

    I really wouldn't read anything into this. I believe there are personal reasons why Lineisclear has resigned that are nobody's business apart from his. I have seen an explanation elsewhere from him so let's leave the spurious speculation behind.

    Also, wasn't there a falling out between them recently? Dean Forest were supposed to have "Willy The Well Tank" and the Coffee Pot for a gala but he pulled them at the last minute?!
