    You said “when”. That is an assumption that; the loco will be finished, work as designed, that a suitable length of track exists and is made available and that the loco actually reaches its designed top speed. That’s a lot of assumptions. Aim...

    Even if the T1 successfully broke the record, for 99.9% of the world it will all be a bit "meh". A bit like the efforts people spend with old Grumman Bearcats and Sea Furies, going to Reno to try and become the fastest ever piston-engined...

    I would also be interested to see research on the typical tourists in the two areas to understand how that segmentation might work

    I just checked the Jacobite price, and it starts at £76, which isn't hugely more than the NYMR £50 or so. Admittedly there is not a great discount for children, but I guess they are not pitching the Jacobite as a family day out. And given they...

    I go out for a bit and all hell breaks loose! Thanks Tom. :) After a minutes thought, whilst it is a reasonable idea, I don't think that it is practical. If the venture is to satisfy the demand it is going to require two train sets c/w locos....

    My hunch is that the situation at NYMR is complex, and they have problems with both volume and price. The changing price strategies have shown that their fares are already right at the top of what the market will stand, hence the discounting...

    I worry that the filled carriages on the Whitby trains is indicative of the wholly thinking rather than demonstration of sound business model. It looks a bit too much like a focus on revenue to me and the focus needs to be first cashflow and...

  9. 35B liked jnc's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    If my memory is not failing me (which I cheerfully admit it might), ISTR people saying that the Whitby trains were a good share of the NYMR's income. Would they be able to charge a third-party enough to make up for that (lost, if this happened)...
