The extra train is Northern’s “Timothy Hackworth” (156438) so a good...
stueybish just so u know i support you bish station looks better now than it has for a long time. The vandalism is terrible there no chance of getting the police involved or maybe some shutters to lock up the platform or dare i say it more cctv?
from what i can remember he wanted to attract charter trains to weardale to stop at bishop too and reopen the toilets and waiting room that was all dont think that would be to unrealistic at all
I reckon some will have to build museum style halls to display their loco's carrages etc never mind sidings just look around the stations on the NYMR most of which is stored for other heritage lines as they dont have enough space. Wonder which lines people think will be reopened as heritage in...
They gonna get rid of the old bridge or repair/upgrade it to make it 4 track over the two bridges? Were building the new bridge in early 2009 when i went past it regularly on the way to uni
considering the age of our rail network (i know the tracks been upgraded but the actual routes) and the fact that we had to decimate our network to keep it running its amazing that we can run so many trains on the main lines. I still feel alot of branches could have more made of them but that...
True thought He'd have made his way as a side step to Locamotion at Shildon and to Hackworths works he went to Stephensons after all. like the series tho nice to see the rail network being shown in a positive and accesible way mind you on the map at the end of the episodes he makes his way from...

And yet eaglescliffe...
IMHO DTV airport will never have a decent rail requirement because give it 5 years and the airport will be closed. also split the Bish-Saltburn service and you might aswell close the Bishop line no one will split their journey to get to boro etc. Also if the weardale railway was to run the...
well instead of whinging about entrenched wealth how about doing something about it go get a job improve your life god forbid start your own company go find your fortune thats the problem with this country to many people blaming anyone but themselves history is full of many poorly educated...
i for one would step out of the way or you know run and i do agree with Yorkie i wouldn't get involved with a riot a protest is fair enough but the minute i saw people hurling rocks and smashing windows etc i'd get outta there not film it on my phone and put it on face book.
HS2 is fine if you live near the main station but what is the point when you live further away and you need to get on a victorian system to one of these fancy stations sitting in someones stinking armpit because there isn't enough rolling stock to cope with the current levels of passengers...
i wonder how much money could have been saved for the economy if we hadn't had to pay police overtime repair bills and grafitti removal might have brought the yearly fee down to 7-8000 lol. I heard one rioter claim that education is a right not a privilage since when has this been the case...
