Might I suggest an answer machine message to that effect as it would present a better image especially to someone who wants to talk to a human rather than send email back and forth. I did also send an email but as you say people are very busy.

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...

I did the trip on Saturday with the Mrs, really just for the 37. Absolutely loved it. The nearest thing to time travel. Front bay of 4, windows down and vestibule door open the sound and smells took me back to being 14 again 37117 banking us up to Cowlairs. Importantly not full of pissed...

Thanks, do you know if it is intended to attempt to run a normal (4 diagram service) tomorrow? A North West day ranger may be in order before number 1 sons 21st in Manchester.

Thanks folks :-)

I fancy the diesel one myself :-P

Yes, thanks.

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...

Does anyone know why they were stopped? And any idea when they will start again?

Thanks for the info. Very grateful to people who do this every day.

Can someone explain to the hard of thinking, me that is. Why the reporting number is 9M?? Etc as I always thought 9 was ECS, 1 or 2 being passenger. I guess by the conversations these trains are now carrying fare paying public. Thanks, Dim of Wigan!

Harwich to Blackpool?

I don't know on here but if you join Class 88 and 68 on Facebook they are there under announcements.

Have just looked at realtime trains and answered my own question :-P I must have imagined it! Sorry!

I was under the impression that M-S, 1P98, 22:46 Sca-Man was via the Calder Valley and not stopping at Mcv tho I can be a little hard of thinking now and again, easily confused.

Thanks again. As a non railwayman, I don't r really understand what goes on behind the scenes and I guess it is much more complex than 30 odd years ago when I was last interested but to have 2 sets diagramed with barely adequate staff able to work them seems silly. Is there a shortage of units...

Thanks but that doesn't really answer my question.

Thanks. The one that runs Calder Valley now, is that temporary?

Brilliant thanks. Do you know which route the airport trains are going to take?

I didn't know that. Do TPE have similar problems to Northern in that respect?
