    Is there any indication that Network Rail will permit the operation of oil fired steam locos at times of high fire danger when coal fired locos are prohibited? Has anyone even asked the question? You would look pretty foolish if you spent a small...

    The tourism tax and second home premium have been brought in for very good reasons to try and redress the balance where younger locals feel completely priced out of their communities and culture. This has undoubtedly led to some resentment...

    I'm not really a fan of FB, but I see nothing wrong with posting links to publicly accessible pages on FB. I wish however, that if people are going post links to 'private' (i.e. members) pages on FB they label the link as such so that NP readers...

    Bryan, I like to visit The Bluebell every year or so, usually on a BH Monday when there are no restrictions to early travel. I last did it on August BH Monday to see the newly launched Atlantic. Caught the 07.02 York to KX. Then the 09.50 Vic. to...

    That's just it, and I made the same point when the new Caernarfon building was built. It's one thing to build new buildings in a traditional style in order to harmonise with existing buildings--like the cafe at Sheffield Park, for example. But...

    The quote you are replying to (and, I think, all the other replies to it and quotes of it) has had the names removed, but your quoting it means they are still visible, so you may now wish to edit the names out.

    First proper go firing Beachy Head yesterday (for one trip before we had to swap engines!). I was told "fire it like a Bulleid", which I'd modify to "half a Bulleid", because it steams like it is going out of fashion and we blew off a fair bit....

  9. أعجب Paul42 بمشاركة David likes trains' في موضوع Mid Norfolk gala 27-29 June.

    I was on the trains in the middle of the day yesterday and would say it was reasonably busy. Not full so you could comfortably find a seat, but not deserted either. Plenty of people around at Dereham and Wymondham, and a few at Thuxton as well....

    You could try looking on the SRPS site or contacting them. :rolleyes:

    Unlike some, I can’t see the station hotel being reopened as a pub/ hotel. My thoughts are basically as volunteer accommodation with the possibility of it also becoming the Pickering equivalent of Grosmont’s Crossing club, a private member club...

    Newstead was out on loaded test runs today. Proceedings were brought to a halt in the afternoon by a large fire in Kelling Cutting. [ATTACH]
