35B liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I would suggest for the most part, you should politely reject such requests. Just because a heritage site exists doesn't mean that it is duty-bound to accept anything that is offered. That is, incidentally, the context of my point about a...

35B liked Musket The Dog's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Would it be worth repeating (again?) the potential for anyone with internet access to view the statements in this forum and use them against the railway, without any context of the surrounding discussion? Especially at a time when the railway is...

35B liked 60044's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
My preference would be for the NYMR to only use types that were appropriate to it in the BR era, but pragmatism has to prevail, and such types were, for the most part, underpowered for today's needs - and for the most part do not exist. For the...

Firstly, you may want to consider where @Jamessquared volunteers... Second, you may want to consider how documents like that come into being - and it's not as tablets of stone from on high. I've been an armchair member there for ~25 years,...
