I'm looking at going to Princes Risborough from Manchester on either a Friday or Saturday morning for the Diesel Gala and NRE routes me via Euston.
One morning option is XC to Banbury for Chiltern to Haddenham & Thame Parkway for a train back to Princes Risborough
Fastest journey is 05.45 from...
I'm trying to find a timetable for the SVR Diesel Gala on 25 April 2008.
An old timetable or a list of what trains were worked by which locos is what I'm after
I visited the gala and I think I just wrote the info down in a book but I cannot find it now...
A post on the Shap derailment mentioned "Landslip Early Warning Sensors" and I have seen these before with rows of posts with a white square at the top
And I noticed today a few locations between Preston and Lancaster where these are in the cutting.
Just wondering how they work and how they...
Does anyone know what work is taking place in the York area over 25 + 26 October.

Sorry if in the wrong forum
One of the things that irks me is when you see Tickets for Sale in advance of a Gala or Open Day which say you can save money
The SVR Class 37 Gala is £40.50 for a Day Ticket if I book in advance - but only when I get to adding a ticket it shows the Booking Fee of £2.00 making it £42.40
So I...
I was trying to work out when some sections of track opened - the problem with an atlas is the line is not there in one version and its in the next - and v.v

The Air Braked stock used arrived on the Friday on a BLS Railtour and it was a bit grotty.
There only seemed to be 3 maybe 4 toilets working on a 7 coach rake. The roof tank was leaking in one of those toilets...

Why are the December WTT's so bad?
For some reason the timetables are in Excel format - which is not too bad - but the amount of extra lines in the spreadsheets is silly.
Every location has 4 or 5 lines for

pass - not required in the past as a train not...
Trying to find out information as to what is diagrammed is hit and miss
There is information on a number of Facebook pages but they deal with what is happening on the day rather what is planned.
What do people think
As people will be aware parts of the line from Manchester Victoria via Miles Platting are closed for engineering work on the above dates
Does anyone know the limits of the block?
The services on the Calder Valley are terminating at either Rochdale or Moston with the stock off the Moston...
