Of course true, I know all the politics but I find it incredibly short sighted that a request stop interchange station was never constructed where the WHR and WHRH meet

any reason it states "published April 1st" at the bottom of the article :)

Sadly never got to see a train on the Weymouth harbour although seen many online videos and due to our regime of keeping railways fenced off and away from the public, (unlike the continent.) Very few lines existed in the first place There are some incredible street scenes in many third world...

Of course if you stop at Minffordd NWR it is right next to the FFestiniog station and avoids any walking :D and is only 7 minutes or so from PM by steam

That is sad to hear I suspect looking at the odd angle the loco was sitting at with a hump in the bed track, that at least one axle has ended up taking more than its fair share of the load Hopefully hasn't bent or cracked the frames :(

Good news , at least the loco appears fine although I am guessing some of the locos springs have a bit more load than they normally would

Or rather the low loader it is on is, looks like hydraulic or structural failure of the low loader which according to the press has taken a gouge out the road. being reportedly moved to a steam rally at Taunton. Luckily loco appears fine. imagine some track will need to be laid to get her off so...

Aside the obvious breakdown in the process of being able to get a 999 call through to the appropriate area of NWR to halt train in the locality, it is incredibly fortunate the train hit the smaller amount of debris. If you look at the RAIB picture taken by the car driver which was pre train...

I posted some info on their form about a broken road LC deck and they had the bed up the next weekend Doesn't hurt it is not like the old days when the old platelayers used to own and live in the section. Obviously buckled track on a hot day is an emergency call to NWR However something as...

You are correct about Rutland but we only have one station which is Oakham as Stamford down the line is Lincs and Melton Mowbray the other way in Leics Leicester Midland has direct services to all the Leics stations these being Mkt Harborough Narborough Hinckley South Wigston Syston Melton...

Tweeted that all trains now returning to original stations

Just had a tweet off NYM official twitter feed to say due to an Engineering incident, no trains expected running Saturday 3rd from Pickering. Posted the other tweets below hope it helps someone No idea what the incident is hope its not a bridge damage or landslip Also Also on...

On another note off topic slightly If anyone fancies an escorted trip around a nuclear power station You can apply online. Its free , very interesting if you are into engineering and you get to meet the Nuclear Police:D as well as seeing the reactor refuelling rig and steam turbine house...

Hi Tom must have been as the train was stuck for over an hour at Grosmont while we all waited at Whitby with no other stock on the line between Grosmont and Whitby. TBH I wasn't taking much notice of trackside signage and operation being on a day trip from Pickering with the family under strict...

LOL I am sure someone with technical understanding of quite what goes wrong on the Whitby line with RETB will be along soon but I gathered from the NYMR staff at the time that it was not an uncommon thing to happen which makes running a profitable on time heritage service kind of hard

And dont think going over to electronics helps. We were stuck for over an hour in Aug 2012 at Whitby waiting for the return afternoon NYMR steamer over the NWR section after the token got lost in the ether and stopped the job. We were told someone had to go and retrieve it with portable...
