People who don’t watch videos on principle are in the same position as those who don’t view Facebook/Twitter, TV-news, certain newspapers etc. on principle. That’s fine but if these are an organisation’s favoured news outlet methods such people...

Haighie liked City_Steam's post in the thread Severn Valley Autumn Steam Gala - 17 to 20 Sept.
An excellent three days at the Valley. Great timetable, friendly atmosphere, excellent last-minute guests, and a wonderful freight train. What stands out at an SVR gala are the volunteers, without which it wouldn't happen. Their interaction with...

D7076 liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
As I’ve said in an earlier post, significant loco failures have been a prime factor this year with 44806, 45428 and 92134 all being out of service for long periods. I also think that 926’s winter maintenance took much longer than originally...

if a train cannot be left in the platform at Levisham because of falling gradients, how will locomotives run round on Pickering to Levisham shuttles this weekend?

D7076 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
So if fire risk was the critical factor, are you therefore confident that had it been absolutely bucketing down with rain throughout this summer, the service would have been steam? My reading from here was that there simply wasn't the loco...
