    If you mean for the “Railcar 50” event the reason wasn’t due to any technical issue with bringing it in by rail and was purely for financial reasons. What happened was during the event planning the visitor list was drawn up which included 22....

    Yes, a real boon that. I'm sure rail connected lines like the Severn Valley have tried to get 22 in the past and failed so I wonder what has changed? With 20 apparently nearing completion at KESR the thought of both visiting somewhere for a...

    That is very unexpected. I thought it could no longer leave Didcot, but maybe the GWS just don't want it going on a lowloader and it's arriving by rail? Mega, anyway.

    Same here. Living in the South West, i can hop on a 150, pretty much anytime at the moment, but that won't last forever, as their numbers gradually decline in the years ahead. However to ride on one regularly at the MHR, will be great, they...

    Congratulations to the team and an acknowledgement that heritage lines are not simply "boys playing with trains" but basic training grounds for future employment and a source of experienced and trained railwaymen with proper equipment.

    Understandable, but I suspect that something like 10% of the revenue earned by the railway in 2026 will come from this visit. Perhaps a greater % even of the profit will be from this event. The hard reality is that the events that tend not to be...

    I’m so happy to have an extra reason for repeat visits this year. I’m really looking forward to riding the 150 many, many times! I don’t usually bother with driver experiences, but may have a change of policy this year!

    I understand the plan is to run the 150/2 in every day that there is a train in operation as either the 2nd or 3rd set in operation.

    Yes excellent for a late steam Cambrian vibe, especially as all three made it into 1965.
