I suggest you have that relationship the wrong way round; without the confidence of the support base, the lenders, regulators and grant funders are likely to be concerned about the viability of the model and, especially, whether the...

That's exactly what I said. You set a price point that the market will support. Given that it appears the train is fully booked for the rest of the season, West Coast seem to have got that just right. Shareholders? Not many of them in West Coast...

For goodness sake, you were the person who declared what the motives are for the Jacobite - "profit for shareholders". I simply put to you WC doesn't necessarily follow the business orthodoxy you are wedded to. I make no claim to knowledge other...

Bingo, obtuse deflection alert!! You will never answer a direct question about something you've posted. It's always, what about, this that and the other, anything to avoid backing up what you've initially asserted. I'm not discussing the...

You've said this before and been asked to explain how you see WC in terms of business orthodoxy? Still waiting. I challenge you to explain your assertion in terms of WC specifically, not "general business principles" or some obtuse deflection....

It was me doing the price comparison not @26D_M. Two adults £25.30 return. Two Jacobite adults £152 return. BUT, and it is a big but. You are paying for the loco, and if you haven't done the journey before, the experience and the opportunity to...

No, I was saying explicitly that the ScotRail 156 to Mallaig is better value than the current Jacobite. You widened that out for no obvious reason.

Sorry, you've lost me there. If the VT, Saphos or SRPS stock was used on the Jacobite it would be worth almost any premium over a ScotRail 156 but the current WC stock simply isn't, for me anyway.

Stunning job with the livery on that one. Best it's looked in years!

Yes the attraction of the Jacobite in its "traditional" form over a Scotrail unit is undisputed. But 2024 onwards? Maybe not so much, although it still seems to sell well even though the operator themselves said the current rolling stock wasn't...

Its true on Northern routes but a) the journey to Mallaig is at much slower average speed and b) why on earth would you want to be lost in a podcast when travelling through the scenery of the WHL? An apples an pears comparison, really.

My bold. Surely part of the problem is that some (many/most?) of the privatised water companies seem unable to deliver on the very, very basic point of providing water to customers on demand, regardless of drought or other adverse conditions. If...
