Sheff liked Big Al's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
We've been around this one many times. It's a private company and it's none of our business how it is run. That's for regulating bodies to oversee and respond as appropriate. The impact on others has always been my concern. The money I now spend...

Enterprise replied to the thread The 10A Allocation.

Kirk Oswald liked FearOfManchester's post in the thread Mid-Norfolk Railway.
I don’t think this is quite the place for this but better than nothing, the lynn and dereham railway trust have recently got permission from network rail after a long battle to restore the station buildings at Middleton towers, the ownership is...

Kirk Oswald replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Just think of the use that trophy could be put to, if they win that is. It could save as much as £3.50 on material costs if used to prop up a small part of bridge 42. This would leave a mere £249,996.50 to find... As for Moors Line magazine the...

MellishR liked 26D_M's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.

MellishR liked 5944's post in the thread 60019 Bittern.
Don't forget LSL have 5029 (though apparently off to a preserved line for the summer), 70000 and 60532 available, 6024 coming into traffic shortly, plus 60007 and 71000. That's five or six class 7/8 locos available, and they only have one set of...

That's either a red herring or bandit country dependent on your point of view. I lean towards neither view. There has been little wrong with Tangmere in its main line work and you have cited two specific cases - Weymouth and Hemerdon - when it...
