    Somebody woke up grumpy again .... Rhetorical questions disallowed then? If it wasn't planning, what was it? Having been in the Hellifield loop for 45 mins on Saturday, as well as Carnforth loop for a little less, the [non enthusiast] people with...

    A bit of close regulation not long before the steam on Friday, the 158 was proceeding quite slowly. [ATTACH]

    Much appreciated for the prompt response Ben, I'm gutted I can't be around for the next 3 days - but family commitments mean I'm elsewhere. Diesel gala in my sights next and good luck ove the next 3 days.

    Thanks for the feedback Devon Belle - and my apologies, I was the Guard on 1323 and got a bit distracted trying to help unpick things to try and bring back some right time running - but feedback appreciated and we'll add to the list to discuss at...

    Thanks Seb and other WSR members who made my visit enjoyable today. A shame that the A4 issues compromised the timetable, I hope that the next 3 days are a success. Highlights today were seeing Victor and doing multiple trips behind the loco for...

    Good points. I volunteered on the Avon Valley for over 30 years, brilliant people in the engineering department, but only a few of them, and because of their skills, they'd get called onto other work, distracting from loco repairs and restoration...

    I would say with a lot of hard work, some cash and a bit of luck and skill it’s perfectly plausible to turn things around both loco wise and generally. Plenty of examples of lines that have been in the shadows for many a year but have enjoyed a...

    Gr Great to hear of reduced reliance on hired engines and a focus on the Avonside. I'll sort a donation. Additionally if you operate any fundraiser events,.I'd happily do a talk free for you, say on the Imperial Smelting Corporation Railway...

    I’m a trustee of the Avon Valley Railway Heritage Trust, and we’ve just launched our “Fit for the Future” Appeal, focused on safeguarding the long‑term future of the railway. The aims are deliberately forward‑looking: investing in essentials...

    Network Rail allowed the AVR to takeover a carriage of the inspiration train during its stay at Bristol Temple Meads this weekend. It was extremely busy yesterday and we had great fun engaging with visitors, encouraging them to visit the AVR or...

    Summer Saturdays in the West....if you use an LNER loco on a GWR route that's what you must expect.

    It's getting a bit messy. Not sure a part of the fun! The 1213 BL to MD has just been announced at Minehead that it's left Watchet now, meaning that's an hour late. I'm sat on the 1323 MD to Blue Anchor still sat at Minehead, waiting to go....

    From the webcam views with trains at every station it looks like the day is degenerating into the usual WSR gala chaos. With such a long line it doesn't take much to put a spanner in the works. All part of the fun I suppose.
