I also had an enjoyable time at the GCR gala.
Here's a few snaps I took on the Saturday:

Something that's been offered up to me is a guest blog by a friend of mine. Allowing him to pay tribute to the soon to be relocated Mull Rail, in Scotland.
Enjoy...
Alright, alright, if you insist, point made.
However, if you're going to insist that I just made up what I had stated without even bothering to look, you too are guilty of factual error. I might not have been able to see the whole locomotive from where I was able to reach, but what I could...
As per usual forum guidelines, any form of debate that leads to serious ranting, raving and dispute has to remain quashed. It's the best way to maintain a friendly environment and attract new members.
Regarding posters age: Most of the people on the forums I'm associated with are in our late...
Certainly not! Especially if they amount to serious arguments at the touch of a button.
I have moderated other forums in my time and it is a prime policy that any form of argument and spamming is immediately quashed; for the sake of keeping a peaceful environment. Afterall, there are several...
I'm glad to go over anything you've pointed out. But please remember, as someone who tries to keep an open mind about all issues concerned, debating is NOT something I wish to divulge in. I shall therefore be thankful if such concerns can be settled constructively.
I managed to get to Whitby...
I do not intend to form this thread into a debate. But myself, and several colleagues from various heritage lines, feel that comments like these are more a matter of opinion. And as such, if one doesn't like it, then they shouldn't bother with it.
Getting back on topic, here is this week's...
Can't say I can blame you there!
For me, I would love to see the likes of:
-'Blue Peter'; simply down to the prospect of seeing an A1/2/3/4 lineup in action.
-LSWR Adams Radial No 488; I'd heard so much about this engine when I was growing up, but never had the chance to witness it...
Ah, my bad.
I suppose the roster must have changed at the last minute. Records claimed that she would have only worked to Wareham. But it seems that there were changes to the plan :roll:
I believe that she was there to assist 'Bittern' on the return leg of 'The Dorset Coast Express' railtour that afternoon.
She would have only done the journey from Weymouth to Wareham, where she would have been detached and 'Bittern' would do the rest of the journey back to London.
The two...
Ah, right.
I didn't opt for the Gift Aid Rover fare due to limited money. So I was unaware of any vouchers on offer.
Also, thanks for correcting me on the dogs/cycles fares. Going by what was stated in the brochure, along with the fact that several railways charge for entry to stations, I led...
I'm not entirely sure. I've seen other sites on BlogSpot where viewers have replied anonymously, so I'd assume there shouldn't be any problems.
If there are, don't hesitate to let me know. I shall be happy to answer any questions you may have or points you wish to make.
Alas, I do not. But that's no reason to suggest that anyone who isn't is not in a position to see what's what.
The intention is to try and offer consumer advice to anyone who holds an interest in visiting heritage railways. Not just the average enthusiast, but also for tourists and families...
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
