It is funded through the WMRE. It’s a really joined up, collaborative scheme which is designed to test the water. There’s no loser in it at all. SVR get paid to run it as a contract job, so can’t lose. WMRE fund it, and get the data needed to...

In simple terms, the maximum gross vehicle weight in the UK is 44 tonnes. You can exceed this weight, with approval, but the load must be split, if that is possible. As a tender can be uncoupled from the engine, the two have to be transported...

A1X 32670 liked WorkingPressure225's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
There’s two movements tomorrow - 73128 is booked to arrive at East Grinstead at 11:40. I don’t know when this will arrive onto the Bluebell itself - likely a case of whenever the service trains are out the way. 73128 should be going down to...

The Dainton Banker liked 73108's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

The Dainton Banker liked Sawdust's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Cheapness is relative, affordability is absolute. Seriously, once corrections to product or price are made it takes a couple of years for word of mouth to completely reverse the damage. This based on observations of past situations. Sawdust.
