    Presumably will require a diesel to pull it back out of Paddington to Southall at the end of the day?

    Great Britain XVIII: 18/4 -25/4/26

    If you know that, you must know more about the planned itinerary than others do! Any hints?

    RTC 2025

    I got that email too. Surely the only stock "dating back to the 1950s" are the Mk1s which aren't being used at the moment for reasons we all know...

    RTC 2025

    Suspect its a case of playing safe on the part of NR. Although a steam locomotive could and probably would manage it with ease, with such an...

    34028 and going Main Line

    Presumably it's comparable with the trips Clan Line regularly does with the Belmond trains. Does anybody know how they manage for coal?

    A swap with Tangmere, maybe? Black 5s really don't look the part down here, and Clan Line hires are few and far between.

    Are NYMR licenced as a TOC for the Grosmont to Whitby trains - or do they covered by another (like WCR)?
