Was it just a tax thing or was it also that the railways were generally not remunerating their capital properly so anything on the capital account...
I wonder how this squares with locos having good or poor reputations. For example I have it in mind that 35002 and 60001 were regarded as...
Did this vary a lot between the big four?
Agreed. I remember well going round Doncaster Works aged thirteen , seeing a boiler with 60089 chalked on it and being told by some older spotters...
That would need some further explanation since both 4472 and 60052 were running in 1965. But does anyone know the story of 60052's scrapping at St...
Re the Tornado trip, is your interpretation of that unassisted steam all the way or unassisted Carnforth--Carlisle--Hellifield? I've read it a...
At the minimum Network Rail train planners need to know what is being requested at Carlisle for the shunt moves.
Just out of interest how busy was the train?
Plus there's the load factor. RTC Premier Class on a day trip is £325. The budgetted load on the GB is going to be half that on the day trip?...
But @simon I think it would be fair to say that the GB is not a land cruise in the sense of day one -- two hours to visit Exeter Cathedral, day...
Barnsley to Wakefield Kirkgate must be very rare track for steam. Quite historical because the 0515 from Kirkgate to Barnsley and 0610 return was...

Fabulous book that.
I understand your point now. Let's see if the train is half empty or chocka. But anyway if there's a run over Shap and Ais Gill next year behind...
I'm not with you. On the Dec 10 trip,isn't the tourist fare £165?
Well, I've learned a new word today. Don't know what fly fishing has got to do with it though!
There were three MNs allocated to Stewarts Lane, 35001/15/27/28 among them through the 50s. I believe the down Night Ferry was one of their...
But is RTT programmed to catch up on any delay where there is a lengthy stop? That's not a data issue. I can see this works as an assumption for...
Was anyone unhappy with Bahamas in March or the Earl the previous March? I know it was a rhetorical question, but it's been several years since...
So then isn't it worth asking NT, RHS etc etc what they do in the rare but not totally unknown event that they have to close their house or garden...
