I was on the K1 in May 2008 taking the Jacobite stock to Fort William. As was ascended Beattock we found the lineside ablaze. No doubt we would have been blamed for it but for the evidence that it was alight before we got there.[ATTACH] Peter

Well we thought we were on the move, but now aren't again.. Really feel for VT, seems the communication from NR hasn't been what it should be.

What has to be remembered, when moaning about the diesel doing most of the work, that the cross section of passengers on the train means that there is practically no option to cancel the train when Network Rail impose Red restrictions to steam...

Using diesel may cost, idk, £500 more per day but if the result is a guaranteed steam journey with 2253, the trip it will pay for itself. Using a class 37 could put off 50 to 100 or more people a day.
