No 2409 King George and 604 Phantom at the Didcot Railway Centre
A visit to the Didcot Railway Centre in Didcot, Oxfordshire near Didcot Parkway Station on Saturday 14th September 2024.
Had a steam train ride with No 2409 King George, from Eynsham Station to Oxford Road Station (and later a return journey).
Did see 604 Phantom from Burlescombe Station to Didcot Halt (renamed temporarily to Adlestrop). But didn't get to ride this diesel train, as the volunteers were on their break.

    HS2 is an environmental disaster of epic proportions & Britain's biggest infrastructure mistake in half a century. Excellent news that the Eastern leg & the Golborne link have been scrapped & fingers crossed, the rest of this monstrous vanity project will never see the light of day.

      @ellrbrown Год назад

      Been waiting since it was announced in 2009. The 2026 date seemed unrealistic. Hope it reaches London Euston, and not Old Oak Common when it first opens.

    • @CRIMSONANT1
      @CRIMSONANT1 Год назад

      @@ellrbrown .. Euston has been "mothballed" for at least 2 years - even if it does go ahead, it'll be at least 2041 before it opens. Reading between the lines & listening to the doom & gloom coming from HS2 Ltd, it's highly unlikely that Euston will become the main London terminus.

      No problem. They are building all those concrete triangles for a viaduct at the moment, which I think will cross over the Digbeth Branch Canal. There is also Victorian viaducts they need to cross over as well.
