@osprey if you could throw your (hissy) fit and throw off your primadonna gown that would be grand . Nat Pres is so much better when a question is answered rather than playing a game of obfustication . If not I will quite happily consign the mess...

Precisely so. Which was the point I was trying to get across, owning/operating steam locos would not, in and of itself be a profit making venture. The other avenues offset and subsidise the bit which is akin to 'hobby'. Which is why I also made...

Why are you interested to know what I think when you've clearly decided that I haven't a clue about anything? WC took over running on the Mallaig extension mid 90s and built it up into the Jacobite from the service established in 1984 under...

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.
