£160 for 5 coaches and the two power cars seem very competitive?

Maybe they could spread their wings and tap other areas for these trains to Pwllheli? Lancashire, Yorkshire, East Anglia?

In your opinions, is the Hornby Railroad Grand Central HST a good standard of model? I know its fictitious in that their power cars had buffers and this model does not. Is the level of detail reasonable? (Not bothered about super detail). Is it a good runner? Seen a great price bundle and...

Nobody matches the quality of LSL stock. Do any of the other stock providers invest to that standard? Will they? Can they afford to? Some of the WCR stock is looking shabby, inside and out. I noticed similar rusty rooves to those above, the other day.

To me, UKR and PFT are up against it. LSL own everything, employ everybody and own all of their product. WCR could do the same. UKR, PFT and other promoters hire in stock, caterers and employ their own staff too. Not sure who bids for paths and the like - is that in house or the rolling stock...

To be fair, the canned Newquay train is not PFs fault. Not that that makes any difference to the disappointed punters.

To be fair, not that it makes any difference to the passengers, this wasn't PF fault.

Has a new date been given yet?

Where is the cancellation notice? Not on their website yet.

On board a recent tour, I noticed that the WCR coaches are looking a bit shabby inside and out. They don't seem to be looking after the Riviera stock very well either. The vestibule and door areas looking not very well maintained. The carriage roofs look rusty, in need of care and a coat of...

Is the Pathfinder tour on 20th September from Dorridge to Newquay cancelled? Something to do with signalling issues on the Cornish branch line.

I'll check that out. My German is of a reasonable level (I think!). Danke vielmals.

I'll investigate - thank you!

Are there any luxury train companies in Germany that run special trains on the DB network. Longer distance day trips (possibly overnighters) such as Pathfinder, UK Railtours, Railway Touring Company and LSL in the UK? Either first class with light refreshments or full dining. And/or do any...

Thanks for the gen. Will be interested to see what transpires! How many carriages is it likely to have?

What traction is likely to be used on the Pathfinder Cambrian Coast Express from Cardiff to Pwllheli on Friday 5th September, please? Thanks in advance.

Brilliant photo. Brings back many memories. Thanks for posting. In the 80s I used to have an East Midlands Ranger for a week each Summer. Did Cleethorpes to King's Cross trains as far as I could sometimes. Remember leaning out of the droplights as it threaded and curved its way through the...

For whom?

I have a feeling that it might end up being railtours provided by LSL, WCRC and the odd ad hoc tour here and there with stock provided by ERS and the 125 Preservation Society.

As technology advances, would this open opportunities for rail freight movement in the future? Today, the huge marshaling yards like Tinsley could have been managed by intelligent technology. Could freight yards and smaller depots for onward road transport.be made to work? It would need blue...
