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!

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Mar 10 2012, 12:04 PM) The problem is, I was only born yesterday and didn't think of that! Kintbury is very good when they are working away from London. They are ususally working hard and picking up speed.

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.

QUOTE (Grumpy @ Apr 11 2012, 12:22 PM) 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.
