Brilliant. Such a friendly little railway

By far the best Santa experience we’ve had. They’ve gone properly balls out on the gifts - our wee man’s ticket was £8, and going by the looks of it he’s got about a tenner’s worth of present. Which we weren’t expecting. And Santa went out of his way to demonstrate all the features on his new swimming whale.

It feels lovelily done. So to speak.

Are you attempting to become real northerns or something? First Booths, now this

I had a nice ex-Longmoor Military Railway saddle tank throwing out clouds of steam on the santa special we went on, although I was probably more excited by the gronk that took us back into Norchard Low Level at the end of the run.

We did it again.

He’s still sort of too young. But also still free. So, you know.

And this time we DID have a dog, so at least we made best use of the dog ticket.

This time, we wanted to see the action and so sat in the very front carriage.

Only to discover that they were running the service with two locos - one diesel, one steam - and so, we were sat right behind the diesel. #winningwithdiesel

You’re very lucky to get steam haulage, a lot of the major heritage lines are diesel only at the moment due to fire risk from the dry weather. Vintage diesel fans are loving this!

Yes, noticed that...great central is now mostly diesel.

Yeh, I have just booked a day out on this LNER Thompson Class B1 61306 - Wikipedia
Running on mainline from London Victoria to Bath (Bristol)

We are here. Our train, not for a quick jaunt but For the day. London to Bristol and back. Now waiting for champagne breakfast.

A quick boast and hardly worthy of a new thread; Ive now got my next steam train journey booked; return London to Bath (again with Steam Dreams)...none of yer little heritage railways.
Wont know which engine until much nearer the time; needless to say really looking forward to it

Eeeeeee, what a beauty. Possibly the first steam engine I went on when she was up at Keighley.
