Now we've had some rain recently, with more forecast over the next week, I would hope this won't be so much of an issue now.

I went on the Salisbury Express this Wednesday just gone, and there was a very high turnout for spectators in the Newbury area: at the Racecourse station where it stopped for water the platform was packed, and when it sat in Newbury for a few minutes to allow a GWR service to pass, the entire...

There is also a gauging station on the River Rother called Udiam GS, right next to the current end point of the track from Bodiam. The Environment Agency will have been involved plenty in the project to make sure flood risk is managed in relation to the works and eventual finished setup. RAIL...

I used the railway in July 2020 and July 2021, where the non-stop run was present for both. I think there was no need to run two trains at once, not just because of demand, but the non-stop run was considerably faster (20-25 minutes each way), to the point that a higher frequency was possible...

Yes Dale I think that'll work, thank you :)

Apologies if this isn't in the right place as I wasn't sure. Next year I'm planning on completing a cross the country cycle ride that I want to name after the Cathedrals Express railtour, and to make for a better relation I want to get an image of the nameplate and put on laminated paper to...

Kent East Sussex Railway is mine :D

And by scrapped do you mean put out of service and going down the route of the Mallard or literally scrapped? :|
