Hi there
Can anyone tell me what is meant by gauging issues when it comes to mainline steam tours?
Their is a steam tour from Lewes to Oxford today and it was originally due to be steam hauled from Lewes but it's now Willesden Junction due to gauging issues. I read that in the past as well but not sure what it means.
I passed the diesel train on it's route to Lewes via Eastbourne. It has to go through Lewes get to Lewes! Long gone are the turntables. Not that trains didn't run engine light back then to change direction as well.
Thanks
