banburysaint liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Bridge 30 was by far the longest bridge replacement carried out by the NYMR and replaced a wrought iron bridge with a steel and concrete one; quite a significant job and was well executed by Nigel Trotter and his team. It got into trouble with...

Johnme101 liked alts1985's post in the thread Epping Ongar Small Engines gala 7-8 November.
Visited with my eldest son yesterday and we had a very enjoyable day, with the three sets in action and seven locos there was always something going on at North Weald. We started at Ongar and managed two round trips across both ends of the line,...

I believe the proposed remediation (which is a consequence of the initial contractor going bust) involves the building of retaining structures to secure additional ballast raising the track level either side of and between the two bridges?

plas y Gwili, by the old BT plant. The path that goes along the back of the site. The buses are around ever 30 minutes to Carmarthen and they include the T1. It’s about a 250m walk

What I would say is you have to do the new abergwili to llandeilo walk/cycle. It really is something very special. Also there is a bus from the abergwili station into the town centre, but there is also tanerdy lodge pub a short walk away too!

Chris M Jones liked jamesd's post in the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
In hindsight, I'm probably taking my rather skewed view of the World and the things I like to do on a day out and not explaining them very well! Jamessquared has summed it up best, the Gwili isn't a whole day attraction. I generally try and think...

Haighie liked J Shuttleworth's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
It is indeed and I have one of the other ones! I think there were three (all 1T57, which was the train's reporting number throughout, carried by 45110, 70013 and 44871, as lead Black 5)) and mine was carried by 44871. It's quite distinctive, as...

I used that back road in the late 70's 80's going home for the weekend. One occasion I filled up at the garage at the top, then a friend of mine passed on the main road. I still beat him to the bottom.
