    I never said Wareham was a destination, the comparator is that is further than Norden, as is Whitby from Grosmont, hence it needs a price difference. Having said that both Whitby and Swanage are seaside towns at the end of a railway line, and...

    I think it seems fair to say that demand is falling for the basic offering, by that I mean a standard ticket on a run of the mill service day. Where demand seems to hold up is on the top end, or at least higher end offerings. So for example such...

    So with the Swanage Belle due Wednesday week which is due to be diesel hauled from Southampton to Swanage with the steam on the back, zero rain forecast at all before then, but plenty of heat. Anyone know what the protocol is as to where the...

    I like, Bryan, have not too long since got in from a great day at the Gala and I'll agree with his @LittleRedTrain and @Phil K about the packed timetable, even more so today where services were able to keep to time (or only running a few minutes...

    Rather late in the day due to a manic week an image of the NR MPV that visited to deal with the weeds. I am sure NR use very strong stuff, but as most garden weedkillers understandably say apply on a dry day, not sure how effective it will be in...

    I believe there has been, for many years, a conspiracy between Network Rail, DfT & ORR to allow lineside vegetation to grow and not be controlled. It’s practically cartel behaviour. For NR & DfT it’s clearly cost cutting, but the Safety...

    I spent yesterday afternoon helping with what may be called the sideshow to the main gala - the temporary reopening of Heathfield Tunnel, which is situated within walking distance of my home. I did consider mentioning this on the Forum, saying...

    A superb day at the Gala today, albeit me leaving after the 15.20 Eridge had left Groombridge behind 31803 (aka 31806). That was mainly because I was suffering from the heat. But I also plan a full day there tomorrow and need to have time to...

    Is there any form of certification needed for obsolete rail parts or can they be made by anyone with the skill? I know from experience how limited the sources are and the cost of aircraft parts for obsolete aircraft, but that is in apart of...
