    What's the legality of that one? I thought most railways T&Cs disallow reselling of tickets...

    It's good to see a job spec that allows potential candidates to 'self-identify' as well as rule themselves out. That's a level of detail that is sometimes missing.

    I wish the MHR well in recruiting for the future.

    I also resize my pictures to low res, smaller versions in my Sony playmemories photo app before posting them on here.

    If they're bought "wholesale" then they would be able to resell.

    There appeared to be food involved when I walked past the coach so I guess it is the same as when the same outfit runs the Fish and Chips package at Swanage and I believe they have been working wit the KESR for a while.

    Yes I agree and the second sentence in the first point of the r & r should perhaps be taken on board by a few members on here and elsewhere in the HR sector.
    The only problem is it is a role paying £75-£85k that should probably be around £125k to attract a decent amount of interest.

    Presumably @nffcneil has never heard of jobsite aggregators - most job hunting these days is done through LinkedIn etc, so it's fairly irrelevant which platform is used.

    If that was Rebecca I believe she is 'interim CEO' while the company advertises and recruits for the vacancy. Whether she applies for and subsequently is appointed to it permanently time will tell.

    I see having a knowledge of the unique history and position heritage railways occupy in the sector is not a requirement. Let’s hope it doesn’t become another Severn Valley

    Rebecca was drafted in as an interim CEO, after the fiasco of the previous incumbent. Her background is, I believe, aviation heritage, such as the Shuttleworth Trust.

    you’re probably right, but there’s not a HR CEO or GM in the country paid that much. From which a number of conclusions can be drawn.

    Do you have a list railway by railway, of every railway, to prove that statement and if so post it. Else one draws other conclusions about the veracity of that statement.
