SECR 65 liked 73108's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I might not be right either, but my impression of visiting the NYMR at least annually over the past few years is that the only priority is delivering the bucket and spade brigade to Whitby, by whatever means possible, and overlooking/overcharging...

SECR 65 liked Respite's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Yesterday 44806 was very dead with a replacement spring needed and no spares, despite having two Black Fives on the line. I would have liked to have ridden to Whitby on a steam hauled 9.20 from Pickering but this was a class 37. 92134 was...

In no way am I trying to criticise anyone at the nymr in my post, and I understand the immense challenge of maintaining a large and varied loco fleet running 5-7 days a week with such steep gradients and mileage. What I would say, though, is...

I think heritage railways need to consider the struggles of churches, where the requirements for training (and especially online training) are having a significant impact on peoples' willingness to volunteer. That said, it is also fair to note...

silversteellady liked Simon Smith's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It does make you wonder about the levels of accountability at the NYMR, with a repeated failure to deliver the locos needed for traffic is this just deemed as acceptable by the board? If in other industries machines were not available for...

silversteellady liked Wagoniester's post in the thread SVR Summer Gala - 18&19 July.
The attached image artwork has appeared in the digital version of Railway Magazine that came out today... I suspect it's not long before Holly Bank No. 3 is officially confirmed in this case. A nice illustration - matches some other recent SVR...

3ABescot liked Jamessquared's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
I'm kind of surprised it hasn't generated more noise on NP than it has, but for what it is worth, the GWSR Facebook confirmed that 45110 will be based on that railway for a further 6 months (which basically takes you up to the end of November...

Spike liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.
After last week's heatwave we came back to normality with a bump. The weather forecast for today was not good, in fact it was bad, with rain forecast for much of the day. Would the weather gods be kind? Probably not! Would Oswald be able to...
