Oswald T Wistle liked 26D_M's post in the thread Inter City.
Reportedly Inter City has redated the tour & all those with tickets yesterday are transferred to the new date or can have a full refund. Seems very fair.

saddle-tank liked DaveE's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
All in the notion of making the L&B something it never was and you loose the charm of the Little Train to Lynton. Some of the stations may be able to have longer platforms but to be honest, as soon as you do that, you loose that uniqueness and...

Certainly the right thing to do but probably the booking t&c didn't create a "necessity". As a number of people have pointed out over the years the t&c usually seeks to exempt the seller from liabilities arising from unexpected events.

D821 & D7029 are at Kidderminster under the care of the Diesel Traction Group? D821 has run on the SVR pretty much continously for the last 40 years. D7029 is in an advanced state of restoration.

August 2026 Construction Update Smokebox: Visibly, not a lot has changed and it still looks the same as at this year’s Open Day. But in the background, we have now received five rolled plates from Barnshaws (who made the wrapper) consisting of...

mikehartuk liked Matt78's post in the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
No comment on the first line… the sensor on the wheel would not be good for some of our curves, incompatible with other stock, really need at least 2 units for spares and parts, lack of public appeal, were a few of the reasons that were...
