أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة Charles Parry' في موضوع North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.
Nice if wet day at the NNR today. It is their Festival on Rails so they've got a lot of their toys out the box, so got to ride in the both quad arts and the Wisbeach and Upwell carriage for the first time, stunningly restored and maintained. Did...

أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة acorb' في موضوع Fire Risk.
A number of tourist bosses met with UK weather chiefs recently. Apparently an app will display a rain symbol for the day, even if it is only forecast to rain for 10 minutes. Tourist attractions reckon people have been put off visiting due to...

The point about Mark 1s coming to the end of their BR life has been made sporadically on the forum over the last few years (I know I have raised it a few times (*)) There is a looming issue that railways are not putting enough into carriage...

Has anyone ever made that model work? I think you'd end up buying carriages for a four figure sum, spending a six figure sum to restore them and selling them on for a five figure sum. Not even Milo Minderbinder could get that maths to work. I...

أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة 35B' في موضوع North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I think all of these are worthwhile, but they're marginal. I see the same in a different context. We have visitors, who contribute by donating. Those who steward are rightly pleased with those donations, but the amounts are a drop in the ocean...

أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة Petra Wilde' في موضوع Oil Firing.
A few points: Fire risk at any one time can be very local indeed, depending both on weather (when it rained, and how much, on land bordering your railway) and nearby things at risk (flammable vegetation, plus anything valuable like houses that...

أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة flying scotsman123' في موضوع GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
I can! Maybe things will change when we have a carriage shed, but at the moment it feels like we're barely keeping pace with deterioration. Expect to see some carriages get moved on in the medium term as the new acquisitions effectively replace...

أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة Lineisclear' في موضوع North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We keep seeing the old mantra of unsustainble wage bills being trotted out but not what can realistically be done about it! The trite answer is replace them with volunteers but employment law makes that a hugely expensive option even if suitable...

The inspection went as expected and the necessary paperwork is now awaited. When all the necessary confirmations are in place, announcements will be made as and when appropriate.

أعجب Spitfire بمشاركة 2857Harry' في موضوع Fire Risk.
We fully plan for the gala to go ahead as normal. The Driver Experience has been cancelled for other reasons. We have got several lines of mitigation in place to assist with the Gala Operations and we are planning for a full event. A planned...
