    2026 UKR railtours

    I’m on it just for the hoover entertainment The original 20’s were a side show Must admit I’m excited about the thought of 31128 & whatever Nemesis throw at us (Was hoping for 45112 but happy to settle for the 73

    What is one heritage railway or railway attraction you want to visit and have not yet?

    ELR but think that will be scratched soon Another one is the NYMR but that’ll probably be never unless I’m in the area Don’t visit that part of the country much to be honest 20 years ago for a birthday bash in Scarborough

    2026 UKR railtours

    Agreed. Borth is a beautiful area. Had a weekend stay there a few years ago. Afterwards we wished we’d spent the week there.

    Severn Valley Railway Operations Website

    Always looked at this page first if I had a day free & fancied spending the day at the SVR. Might explain why I’ve not been there for around 3 months

    Best/Worst value Day Rangers

    Used to do a West Mids day ranger every week back in the day. Used to cost around £20 Then the price went up to £27 so stopped using it. Going back some years though One I always use is a West Mids day tripper There’s two versions I think One is after peak time & the other is any time which...

    Battlefield line

    Looking to visit as soon as the DMU or 33 is running in 2026. It’ll seem weird not seeing 45015 there. Plus to have a bacon butty & a brew at Shackerstone cafe

    Class 50’s from the Midlands, down to & around London on the north London line before heading up to Norwich Then on the return back to the Midlands via the Fens I’d be very happy at that as I’ve never had 50’s at Norwich

    50035 + 50044 News?

    The SVR doesn’t need another large logo class 50, it already has 50007 Hercules, 50033 Glorious & 50049 Defiance. I’m kind of hoping it’s original NSE but at the end of the day however its painted goes to making the loco popular & therefore brings in revenue & helps towards the bills. I’m a...

    50035 + 50044 News?

    Anyone have any news updates about 50035 & 50044 at Derby? I’m presuming that they’re still there as not seen any info regarding moves. Seems to have gone very quiet about these two. Carl

    Battlefield line

    Have you tried a bit of advertising in the locals? I love the line & not because it’s a 5 mile drive from home. Some lines could learn a thing or two from The Battlefield line. Recently visited this line, South Devon Railway & the Bodmin and Wenford. Not big lines but oozing with charm &...
