Title: "The Inspiration Train" Post by: Mark A on May 21, 2025, 21:27:14 Travelling exhibition. Presumably, many destinations to be added to the schedule. (This is another reason why a terminus needs multiple platforms, it'll be disappointing if the Inspiration Train doesn't rock up at Newquay.)

(This is another reason why a terminus needs multiple platforms, it'll be disappointing if the Inspiration Train doesn't rock up at Newquay.) It seems to miss out the current GWR territory completely ... Moor Street and Severn Valley Railway are sorta-close. Wouldn't it be nice if they laid a platform for it to visit at Westbury, where people can visit from 6 different directions, then leave the siding as a legacy to be used to ease congestion at the station and improve services for years to come.

I've booked for Birmingham Moor Street. Late enough to avoid the school trips Title: Re: "The Inspiration Train" Post by: grahame on May 22, 2025, 20:40:13 Many more places to follow those currently available, so be patient. Mind you ... with a single train running around it's interesting to look at the unallocated dates and see where it could get. There are only a couple of opportunities for it to make long diversions - otherwise it's going to be "on the way".
