    I would start by ensuring that decisions and plans are explained, and that volunteers feel they are being listened to. Can I also point out that engagement means you have to generate a sense of shared ownership or common purpose if you prefer. IF...

    I did indeed highlight that as a trend on our railway, and wondered if it there were a similar trend elsewhere. But I don't see the need to advertise for such roles as a weakness or worry; rather, I am happy that the railway is taking a...

    Turn that round, and soft measures like engagement can be convenient distractions from the hard numbers.

    If you were perhaps referring to me, I can say categorically that you are 100% wrong! I do not wish the railway to fail, or even to look as though it is going to and I absolutely do not want to run it - but I, and I think many others, feel that...

    Is there confidence to undermine? You may find it has already been lost

    Just on that specific point - it seems an odd point of view. No-one doubts that it is hard to find volunteers, but it doesn't magically get easier if you don't even try! If the railway is struggling to find volunteers, you aren't going to make...

    Ironically, this is another classic example of a post that tells us someone is listening to stories but doesn’t give any insight whatsoever. From my reading this is one of the main issues - a lack of transparency. It’s really not hard to see...

    John, what volunteers (and others) want is the truth and not just spin. I quoted two instances in the Thomas event and Br 42. Simply saying Thomas covered it’s costs is being economical with the truth. By how much did it cover its costs. 50p or...

    The problem seems to be that, like Moors Line, the weekly volunteer update is about "spin", which is why some of us at least, barely bother to glance at the magazine and have cancelled our membership, until the time when it reverts to being even...

    Judging by the tone of the public statement (Also now in the railway press) I would imagine that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Having seen more than my fair share of this sort of ‘Artistic differences’, there are no doubt personality...

    I will say as the author of said post, while not innocent in fanciful tangents, I was continuing a discussion on odd loco rebuilding. This included the regauging of locos from abroad and rebuilding of 6 coupled locos to something more KESR...

    And the tin lies the crux of the problem. The senior management don’t engage with the volunteers, whether by ignorance or design. In recent months they have produced a weekly newsletter but it has been generally full of spin with such things as...

    Imagine if the railway: mobilised their volunteers... communicated with them openly... focused on running the steam locomotives they have available... used their marketing department (employees: 5 to 17?) to advertise those steam services...?...

    The more I read about the doom and gloom surrounding the NYMR, and by extension the future of some other heritage operations, the more I find it difficult to countenance in the light of the regular positive financial reports in the house magazine...
