But changing to steam from a DMU to steam at WN was done in the 1980s. Afternoon departures from BL were DMU to WN and there you could change onto...
Thanks. Yes, I think hourly is about right. If the weather changes you aren't stuck somewhere, if you want to stay longer then you aren't locked...
Except before you get too smug, what Martin is suggesting is similar to the service pattern in the late 1980s/early 1990s, from memory where there...
I agree, it depends on the line and the gradients. As a comparison, Princess on the FfR is listed as 380 Gallons and you need to water at Port,...
This is the key point. Maybe it is only a few people who break their journey but the reality is that they did. Take the SVR for example - some...
Indeed but the question was why would they want to part with it (or any other asset). My point is that a sudden cash shortfall is the kind of...
If they had an urgent sudden need for a 6 figure cash sum?
When travelling on a thursday in mid may previously, would you consider the loadings to have made the service profitable? There is no point in...
Apologies for maintaining the thread drift. When did the Cross Country services start running on the line? I can remember in the 80s there were...

I know why the Southern locos got LMS tenders. What I am curious about is why the LMS locos didn't take Southern tenders. I am assuming that the...
And the LMS engines when working on the SR ran with Austerity tenders. [IMG] [IMG] Which raises a question, as you say the Bulleid's ran with...
It does matter going forward. The WSR have lost a loco, a support group, and museum as well as alienating potential donors, all of which may or...
Without a doubt one of the most futile and self destructive episodes in Railway preservation history. The WSR has lost a loco, supporters, a...
As a heads up to @D1039 and @S.A.C. Martin and any others interested. Eric Williams' 'Capitalism and Slavery' is being issued as a paperback...
Apologies for taking a month to respond to this. The way in which attitudes embed and reproduce themselves and why is interesting. Along with the...
Apologies for coming back to this after a while but I never got round to replying (or found a new thread) I would argue that the Ffestiniog of...
So be honest and say that it is the cost.
The arguments about accessibility as the reason are frankly BS and someone in management trying to pass responsibility from themselves. It...
