It’s Day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas, where we look back at some stats and highlights of 2025, as we prepare for another busy year.
At RailAdvent, we have had another busy year for tours, ECS/ Light Engine Movements and news.
How many views did RailAdvent get in 2025?
In total, we had over 28,000,000 views across the website, and we are thankful for everyone who uses the RailAdvent website, for whatever reason!
Did you know that it’s not only news we cover, but we also cover mainline tours, ECS movements, train sim reviews, and we also have a community where you can share your photos of your own adventures.
Did you know that RailAdvent Plus Gold members can access 80+ hours of gala footage from across the UK, with a range of traction from narrow gauge steam to East Coast Throughbreds in the Deltics. There really is something for everyone.
The library continues to grow, and if you are bored with Christmas TV already, you can sign up today and instantly get access to the library by clicking here.

Today, Sunday, Network Rail advises that there are no trains between Gunnislake and Bere Alston due to a “fault with the signalling system”. This is unacceptable for travelling public. Studying the timetables clearly shows that a “one loco in steam” is operating. With only a single train operating as a shuttle, there is no reason why the Signaller (at Plymouth ?) cannot allow operation, even if his board LCD screen signal lights are like Blackpool Illuminations will not affect the safety of the train. Of course in olden days no problem with independent signal boxes and their staff.
