It was weird not including a trip on the Conwy Valley Line this year. You could quite clearly see the extensive repairs just south of Llanrwst, hopefully it's not long before it's reopened.

The Great Little Trains of Wales Over the last few years I have lost the urge to get out and about ‘on the bash’, football and a taste for beer being the main reasons for a reduction in my travels. The annual family holiday to Snowdonia always brings back the bug and does make me question why I...

I'm on a Thames Rover this week after my last three power cars for haulage, 43087, 43091 & 43149. Can anyone provide any info on whether they are out today and their planned workings? Many thanks.

Sounds like a productive day there. This reminds me I will have to do a Thames Rover later in the year to try and track down my last 4 165s and 5 power cars. I agree with Kite about the Dundas Arms being upmarket. It is in a lovely setting but it certainly doesn't offer good value for money...

Cheers for your help. Sadly I was at the very back of the train so it was more a case of 67014 providing the thrash! Not much in the way of Merchant Navy chatter further north especially with the warm weather and potential fire risk. The slack timings allowed the crew to take it easy. It would...

Firstly apologies for the lack of reports over the last few months. Tuesday 30th June – The Clan Line Farewell The day had come to bid 35028 farewell after 8 and a bit years of sterling mainline service taking her well off her normal territory up the WCML to Chester. 166211 – 05.50 –...

Fantastic report as always, well done on completing the 350/2s and LM 321s. Must agree with Kristofferson on My Chemical Romance! :)

I will be out for them, heading over on the steam charter from Paddington.

Can someone please tell me what was on the 1U61 17.50 London Marylebone - Banbury this evening please.

Lucky you mentioned that as I didn't realise they were only going one way. Now I will have to do them again to get the curve in the opposite direction!

I tried to add some shots but they weren't coming up, must have been doing something wrong. They sound quite nice for something new, certainly beats a GM device. http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=109510 They are still shown on realtime trains which ties up with what is on...

Great cheers for that. Will get that ordered tonight. It was a Pathfinder/Arriva charter up from Carmarthen on Friday with 68005 to Carlisle for 68002 forward to Edinburgh and back yesterday. Apparently 68005 worked south of Carlisle. Debating heading up again before they come off the...

Cheers, not as detailed as the likes of Techniquest, Kite & Noddy reports are but glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks. It was the Premier Inn directly outside the station. I will write a review on that and the B&B in Inverkeithing I stayed in this weekend in the accommodation thread later. It...
