Just so and as Tangmere is always out with its friend there is hopefully little chance that the trip will falter because of any problem up front. The more serious point is that if the RTC is offering a discount then it is trying to fill up the...

You’d think in 2026 steam on the mainline would be appreciated regardless.

£250,000 is not a lot of money today. How many members has the Association, how many shareholders are there? I've had a look at the donations page and there's no mention of gift aid. Is this missing a trick?

Tangmere from what I've seen is the only mainline loco that people appear to moan about (well aside a lot of people consistent moans about Scotsman). Unfortunately Tangmere has gained such a reputation in past years for breaking down and the...

I finally made it to Helston at the end of April. Very friendly volunteers and progress is clearly being made with Helston in sight from Truthall Halt. Good to see that progress is being made with clearance work and sleeper laying taking place.
