2020 Disruption

Since spring 2020, the pandemic has brought disruption to our plans for the year, as with every organisation. Our early-April railtour to Alton was cancelled, and all further proposed outings were never actually advertised.

Our cost profile is very different to that of a Heritage Railway: our fixed costs are relatively small but our operating costs per journey are astronomical. Running a quarter-full socially-distanced railtour is simply out of the question.

As the public health situation evolves, in due course we will eventually be in a position to recommence planning outings. Please see also our Coronavirus update (October 2020).

In the meantime, the best that we can offer is a look through this website with its extensive railtour archive, and a watch of our 32 cab-ride videos featuring outings during 2016–18.

Plans for future railtours

We had outlined plans for railtours during 2020 as shown below, prior to the advent of the pandemic. When we are in a position to recommence planning outings, we will take up where we left off with the following ideas as our starting-point:

Worcester via the Cotswold Line (originally outlined for May)
Skegness (originally outlined for June)
Portsmouth (originally outlined for August)
