I think it's a mixed steam and diesel day on the Sunday so could still be quite good.
Mega harsh on the photography issue!
The chippy in Sandy, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants the name and directions!
Sounded like a good day
Very interesting. I must admit I have been a bit sceptical about the project to reopen the Trawsfynydd branch. Now that they've cleared some of the trackbed what sort of condition is the railway in?
Do they have any stock there yet?
Wait, this is a serious proposal to re-open the line? I honestly thought someone (whoever it was) was winding me up when they suggested it was to be re-opened.
However, your post has confirmed it's actually pretty serious and I'm now quite happy to support the mission. From what I vaguely remember of the line in the atlas before it was taken out of action, and eventually the atlas too, it's quite a long line.
It sounds like an incredibly huge mission, but they've made good progress so far. I trust you'll keep us all updated in the future
As for the chippy in Sandy, that sounds excellent and I'll be hunting it down the day I finally get to scoring that shack
On Sandy, you really must try Chunky`s for breakfast, just down the road from the chippy,
You've got the stomach rumbling now! Off I go to the kitchen for some homemade cake
The Blaenau narrow guage line sounds fun, I really want to get it covered one day. Same with the other lines up there actually.
Swanage diesel gala was brilliant. Decided to do SVR diesel gala as well
Sounds a good day! I'm hoping to conquer the Talyllyn this summer. Despite not living all that far away, compared to a lot of forum members, it's really difficult for me to get to and back in one day!
That's a different way to start your day!
I'm definitely going to get to the Talyllyn one day, so many little lines to do! As it's required track, I must make sure I deal with it though. Might be something I do in just under 3 weeks time actually...
Just had a massive catch up! Sounded like a right farce at London Bridge. Clearly they didn't know what the Network Rail guidelines are.
Sounds like a lot of good work going on in Blaenau Ffestiniogg and the line clearance. The other lines sounded great too. I've only ever done the Blaenau Narrow Gauge line and enjoyed it a lot despite the weather's best attempt to show everything in a bad light!
I love the narrow gauge lines in Wales. The Ffestiniog is superb, I've been on it a few times now. The Talyllin again I've been on a few times and it's beautiful. I need The Welsh Highland still although I've walked bits of it years ago long before it was reopened.
Lovely part of the world I must say.
