    Have they got in the inclination to do it though? The two out of ticket locos are in no danger of seeing a workshop any time soon. No point in overhauling the locos if the track needs a lot of work, and no point doing the track if there's nothing...

    The station building now has a roof. EVRA are raising money to complete the work; book sales are an important part of this and I gather a further 750 books have arrived. Meanwhile the signalling project at Wash Green, just South of Wirksworth...

    That should be manageable, because it's not very long.

    My point wasn't so much to wish that every railway in the country could somehow magic up some non-corridor stock! Rather, it was to make the point that in most cases you could probably do away with toilets on trains altogether and cause...

    Before they get around to legislating on human waste they need to legislate on dog waste. The advent of dog waste bags was a good idea and has led to some reduction but the current trend to simply pick it up and then simply dump the bag is...

    When I was working I was always told that I should never agree to do something by the Mines Inspectorate unless it was enshrined in legislation. Quite often they would say such and such a pit was doing this and don't you think it is a good idea....

    It is hardly beyond the realms of feasibility that with all the often very valid hype around sewage spills, pollution etc by water companies and farmers, that someone in some form of government or legislative body would stick their head above the...

    There are two arguments in play here - the first being whether to fit CET equipment without it being compulsory; if it does become compulsory the rule would surely be applicable to all railways. If, however, it does become compulsory, then...

    The teaks are not exempted from regs 4 & 5 because they have not been registered on the list of coaches in the exemption by the NYMR, unlike Pullman car no 79 which is of pretty similar build to the teaks with a timber body on a steel underframe....

    Virtually every time I ask a young volunteer or photographer where they gained their interest in steam railways they reply that their family took them to see Thomas the Tank Engine when they were young children. I remember avoiding such events at...

    I don't believe that the LNERCA has ever turned down the fitting of retention tanks to the teak coaches, and I don't believe they are against in principle - unless you know otherwise? A lot of work went into getting the toilets in the teak...

    Bloody Hell Gary, do you not want to encourage and engage the younger generation to take an interest in our hobby? Seriously comments like that do little to encourage those who we’re going to hand the baton on to. Wind your neck in a bit mate,...
