Because Harry, as enthusiasts we give a damn. A number of people on here (myself included) have stated we have not booked a West Coast operated trip for a number of years. The reasons to any enthusiast are obvious. No one is denying that we had...

No, the £195 is per entry - the dinner is where the money is. And having run a bar at a local paper awards event, it will be a very wet evening

The whole point of these events is for the publisher to sell seats at the awards dinner. The "basic" package is for a table for 10 at £3490, which gets the lucky attendee the following: Pre-dinner drinks reception for all guests Table of 10...

Doubly so when the feedback on Moors Line is so consistently poor

That's not "hilarious"; I'm wavering between 'infuriating' and 'unbearably sad'. Because the line really is in a bad corner, and, as you observe, this is a pretty telling insight into who's minding the store. Noel

That's not hilarious. That's shameful and embarrassing. Constantly begging for money then paying to enter a pointless award ceremony. That's appalling and willy waving of the highest order.

35B liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
This is hilarious, @60044 these awards don’t have nominations, this is an awards ceremony which is a big scam. No one nominates anyone, the organisation pays for entry. I had one ring me for my business, I told them no thanks, clearly the NYMR...

35B liked Big Al's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
We've been around this one many times. It's a private company and it's none of our business how it is run. That's for regulating bodies to oversee and respond as appropriate. The impact on others has always been my concern. The money I now spend...

35B liked 26D_M's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
Wasn't that one of the problems ORR identified and required structural changes in operational governance, management of health and safety etc before lifting suspension of the TOC licence? It's all very well a private business being run...

35B liked Jamessquared's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Visited the SVR on Wednesday for the first time in many years. Four trains were out: the black pannier 7714 on a rake of 7 Mark 1s; a class 45 on the Gresley set; 813 / 1450 on a GWR set (with one LMS carriage in the rake) all running full line;...

35B liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Dean Forest Railway.
The cost of bringing in three or four Victorian carriages by lorry would be considerable, quite apart from the question of who has such carriages available for loan. I suspect the numbers just don't stack up for a short-term event. The whole...
