That's certainly one plausible interpretation of their 'it can't be done' (although I have to wonder if they actually said 'I can't do it', and that was mis-reported as 'it can't be done'). I still wish more had been said - and reported - on why...

Diamond Gaz liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
That's a shame as it's a very interesting vehicle, though I do wonder if it is suitable for the NYMR. Geographically speaking it's very much in keeping but visitors to the line mostly come to enjoy steam and expect it to be provided. It also...

The things you randomly spot on the way back from church! Brocklebank’s boiler (I believe) with some suitable haulage going through Haywards Heath yesterday. Not quite sure what they were burning but it left a pleasant haze over the town centre...

andyjhatton liked Kje7812's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
WCC website is now saying 20th as an end date looking like they will affect the gala. I walk past them this morning about 8.30 and with school traffic the queue was quite bad (plus a smashup due to someone pulling out not having a good view).

As mentioned on the general discussion page, there are 4-way lights at the Comberton Road/Chester Road crossroads in Kidderminster. The council website now saying the 20th as the end date so people driving to the gala will need to allow extra...
