The Flying Scotsman is back on the network!

The world's most popular steam train No. 60103 Flying Scotsman is back on the tracks in 2022! It is only out for a few trips before going through a boiler overhaul.

The schedule for this year is;

Are we going to run out of steam?

 It looks like we might have trouble sourcing coal going forward. Planning permission for a new mine near Newcastle was denied and Ffos-Y-Fran mine is due to close next yer. Here's hoping that that changes or the foreign supplies don't get too pricey. Story here on the beeb.

Bath (or any) Congestion Charge

If you are looking for information about the Bath Congestion Charge (or any other) there is a website that gives you information about every congestion charge in the country for your car for free.  Carcheck123.com has all the info and you also get a free car check in the bargain.  The Bath Congestion Charge only applies to trade vehicles (self-employed, have a van) so for most of you it won't apply. But I think some of the others (here's looking at you London) do cover normal cars.
