QUOTE (JeffG @ Nov 6 2011, 03:39 PM)  I chanced upon this ePetition to re-open the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton railway with minor route changes where necessary. Thought railway people might be interested, though I can't see it ever happening, especially since one of the "minor route changes" is the Newbury bypass! Now I might be seen to be a little negative here but........ NOT A CHANCE IN HĚLL!

It is disappointing that they have to stop for water or whatever, it'd be good to see they go through Newbury at full chat! I think the sight of these puffing billies is quite evocative.

Surely you'd only need to drive a couple of miles either side of Newbury to see this?

Can not show you a steamer traveling at main line speed, but go to the Gloucester & Warwickshire Railway and see them travel and have a ride on one at the maximum speed allowed by the Light Railway Order - abot 30 mph if I remeber correctly. Ours, 7903, is running out of Cheltenham at present. |

2 steam trains in Newbury this morning, they passed each other by the Sterling Cable tower just after 11.00am.
Anybody know what they were? |

Clan Line was due to take on water at Racecourse between 1103 - 1120 on its way to Bristol and on its return Journey take on water at Theale between 1838 - 1908 I don't know what the other one was though. |
