Can you buy and run your own train …..
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just wondering
You can buy a private plane or boat but can you buy your own train ?
I would so love a kinky train
Dungeon carriage
Rave carriage
Chilled one etc
Branson did it 
How much is a train ?
I’ve got a works van if anyone wants to px
Bit wasted to be fair
Forget it all |

Short answer is yes long answer is you have to jump though a ton off hoops and lot off money
But there’s not much money can’t buy in this world just comes down to how much money you have |

There and to the left a bit |
You can probably lease one but owning and running your own you'd probably need a licence and have to pay fees to Network Rail who own the track - not to mention having to fit around existing timetables etc
Not sure a dungeon on a train would work either, knowing how wobbly they can be as they go along the whips'd keep missing  |

There’s lots of private railways around that you can ride on and if you had a spare 50 acres you could build your own
And every station could have a different sexy theme so your dungeon could be as big as you like I think your on to something op |

Yes you can, its easy to buy one however its very very costly and complicated to beable to use it. Theres many groups out there that privately own a loco & maintain as enthusiasts then run it a hand full of times a year privately. The maintenance is very very costly.  |

There are 'disused' railway lines around the country which are still maintained, that the Royal train uses so they can get about without using all mainlines. |

Anyone got the queens number?
Need to have a chat about who to contact |

I'm used to getting things back on track after they have come off the rails, so buying, and running a train should be second nature to me. Maybe could even set up in opposition to Richard Branson. |

Can't help you with the number, but you know a royal train is imminent when they clear the s along the track |

Well I have seen them, I don't think they are stretches of 100s of miles, just bits that are still there that are no longer used by normal trains. |
