Has anyone had problems booking with West Coast Railways? I have used them before and found them to be, well not the best to be honest, but my immediate interest is trying to book a trip on the Jacobite. Perhaps it's me being a bit of a Luddite but I want to speak to someone. The number I have...
No1 son turns 21 and we will get him a steam driving experience for his Birthday/Christmas either Bronze or Silver at either the East Lancs or Great Central. My main question is does anyone know which locos are likely to be used? Also if you have been to either how was it for you? Please...
Hello, I am being sent to Pistoia for a few days an hope to have a spare day to play out. What's knocking about worth a look or ride out? Preferably Loco hauled. Probably not looking to travel to far maybe an hour or two. I have no clue at all and my Geography of Italy is woeful. Pictures for...
I see that a 68 dragged one of the failed 37 sets the other day. My question is how come when one fails these days why don't they just use a none ets loco to at least get the train and passengers home even if not to finish the diagram? I recall last year 259 being out for a while.

I am looking to do one of the scotrail steam trips to Tweedbank. Can anyone tell me of there is a loop at tweedbank for a run round or if the train is t+t, if so which end is the steam, I assume on top leaving Edinburgh and who provides the diesel.
Thanks.
Hello, can anyone tell me please if the Yarmouth class 37 turns all go the same way or not please with out me trying to work it all out on national rail. Thanks, Dave.
Sat at Barrow now on 37401 to Lancaster for beer chips and 402 back. Made me think, who has had what, when and where in continuous numerical order? I can't recall doing it before.
C'mon must be a few.
I'm off to Wembley on Sunday, driving from Preston to Banbury then the train from there, wouldn't have used Virgin even if they were running. My question is are they all units into Marylebone? Had it have been running I'd have had the 68 from Solihull or Snow Hill but it would appear options...
