    :D More seriously, and to start with, I enjoy sitting on a train being hauled by a steam locomotive. Then, from my own involvement in another area, seeing the work that people put into their passion. And when I see the pictures others with far...

    To avoid giving the wrong impression, would you also be able to list what you do like about railway preservation? :)

    I certainly wouldn't suggest trying to build a business that is heavily focused on coach tours to the exclusion of "turn up on the day" visitors, but surely any well-run business should be looking to maintain a range of customer types to...

    Firstly all school holiday periods do warrant 7 day a week operation. The problem is, leisure activities are most often spur of the moment decisions. Dynamic pricing would require advance bookings for specific trains, which hasn't been terribly...
