Coal has risen 148% and this museum is offering diesel train rides from its museum. Surely the industry can donate some coal or government reduce its taxes to allow kids to enjoy the thrill of a Thomas the Tank engine day..

Same as the Severn valley railway. They are trialling some kind of briquettes as coal is so expensive. The irony is that we have a huge supply underground in the uk.

Quite a lot money, and wood isn't ideal for them.

Only option is to pass in the cost or use old diesel engines

That’s what they are doing. They’re running half stem locos and half classic diesel. They are good to see because they get overlooked a little, most visitors prefer steam.

Yep your right about the diesels, they're unfairly overlooked

But Thomas has seen everything that there was to see.

We're keeping our coal safely buried underground while we burn & exhaust everyone else's reserves first. Clever policy when you think about it, stage managed since Scargill in the 1980s. National self preservation for the future.
