Re: Dalescroft Railfans
I have Doncaster Works Records, but don't have notes of the tour organiser, so cannot say if these were RCTS, DRC, NRC or some other miscellaneous club that might have advertised in the Railway magazines as doing a trip and might have written to, to join the trip on the day. I even recall a private ...

Re: Storm Doris
If there is a TPO (Tree Preservation Order), then permission usually has to be sought from the local planning authority to maintain or remove a tree.

Re: 2017 AGM Coventry
No advantage to me, but shouldn't we encourage new blood to the Society by offering 'junior' subscription rates (maybe digital only) as well.

Re: Storm Doris
Why NR don't have a stronger policy of cutting back all vegetation and trees that are within influencing distance of their lines is beyond me.

Re: ECML Dragged Trains
Looking on Railcam, a filthy 67024 (except for a cleaned section over the west bodyside number), is confirmed as heading this formation into Peterborough, but the 225 set numbers could not be clearly seen from the camera angle.

Re: ECML Dragged Trains
Here is one from 22/10/2011 at Peterborough, when there was great difficulty in getting the 67 to 'talk' to the DVT to head north.

Re: ECML Dragged Trains
1S05 lost more time leaving Peterboro and thereafterwards not passing Ranskill until 09:00.
91129 confirmed as train loco with DVT 82210? at rear
43238 (NRM Vinyls) sth on 1E03 passed Torworth in up direction at 09:30, so no need to drag this one on its Fenland adventure

The RCTS web features a number of photographs of this erstwhile railway served settlement.
