Guys I feel this is a time of year for forgiveness and starting afresh. Accordingly, I have initiated a poll on the question that Nigel be readmitted to the...
Hi Gordon If a Clayton ever traversed the line it would probably have been on a ballast to Broadwood or spent ballast to Etherley Tip. I have seen a photo of a...
Bob, I'm normally in agreement with your sensible suggestions, however here is one I can only assume is severely tongue-in-cheek (or if if not, is in extremely...

Nigel Sorry, I did my best for you. Please do not make any postings to this forum until such time as you have been forgiven. Bob...
Hooray, Good sense has prevailed! Bob, with respect to your well-meaning attempt at a bit of New Year forgiveness, you were not a target of this malevolent...
... What's inadvertent about posting a call-out poll with the question "Simon is a w****r", or sending messages to members saying "you sheep-sh***ing t***er? ...
A class 101 DMU would be brilliant. I made a few trips to and Stanhope on a 101 during the Sunday special days. Like the 37s, I feel this would lend an...
Hi gang While I wasn't on the receiving end of Nigel's bitter and personal comments, thank goodness. Some of the messages he posted were at least very...
Having read the various comments I would like to add some of my own. Those who believe that class 37 operation on this line will bring enough revenue to cover...
Calrail writes of Santa Trains "the traction hauling the train is not important as long as it is capable of providing heat on a cold December day." This is the...
Hi everyone, 12:30 My wife has just phoned with the great news that according to whichever news program she was listening to, the creditors have accepted the...
... I agree with Dave agreeing with Calrail. I also agree with Dave disagreeing with Calrail. I fired a few Santa's at the Moors this year, and the steam loco...
Hi gang, I'd guess that if any diesel loco was to bring in the punters, perhaps a Class 55 Deltic might fit the bill. There's just something about those locos...
I've read through the messages over the last few days and fail to see where the pro diesel camp have said that diesels are the be all and end all. As far as I...
... that ... this ... now ... broken ... Chaps and chappesses. FALSE ALARM! The Creditors HAVE NOT yet accepted 25p in the £. They have merely agreed to meet...
Hi everyone. If the meeting isn't until 27th of January, I wonder why both the BBC (Look North) and apparently the Northern Echo ran this story? Is it safe to...
... Hi Sleeper, You have given a fair appraisal of the situation. Diesel supporters admit that steam is needed, while Steam supporters see limited use for...
Hi everyone, Just wondering, after the meeting on 27th?, who will be first to bring the hopefully good news. This group (surely) BBC, ITV or the newspapers...
Hi everyone, I've been sitting here wondering and getting no where fast. Including the operational locos Weardale Railway has at its disposal, does anyone have...
Yes "Sleeper", I'm pro-local economy as well. I'm just being realistic that's all. Personally, I don't care if trains are pulled by steam, diesel, DMU or...
Does anyone here actually know what ECT's plans are for the railway or are we all just guessing? I'm not on about whats in their press releases, I mean...
Hi everyone, As I asked before, assuming this meeting all goes according to plan and the creditors accept the proposal. What then? Does the Weardale Railway...
hello there, i have been watching this forum for a few months now, and i personally believe that the railway should market itself on the wonderful countryside...

... This is a very good point. I believe the walker and countryside enthusiasts have been addressed before, but marketting *every* possible aspect and ...
