    I completely agree. And as the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day

    This paragraph is key - formality matters, but its those underlying agreements that really matter as they are the things that those rules and contracts document. And that is where culture really matters - which relies on both "leaders" and...

    I think people are getting hung up on the term “park and ride”. Does the NYMR provide a sensible park and ride service to Whitby in the sense you’d understand it in other major cities? Of course not, it couldn’t provide a viable service on...

    I'm curious if anyone here suggesting something has been missed by not offering a rail service on the goth weekend has actually attended? Beyond the bazaar, most of the events and the live music, is advertised as 'till late' or 1 in the morning....

    Indeed, they are. And from all that's been said, there are challenges for the 762 Club in this area. But the culture also matters a lot - which is where the concerns are deeper

    Understood, and I was answering a general point about "park & ride" at NYMR. For the other reasons given, I'm far from convinced that an explicit P&R operation for a specific event would be a good idea due to the other constraints that exist...

    I think the lack Northern service changes is a bit of a red herring - the Esk Valley line is very badly capacity constrained, and Northern have limited flexibility.

    Much as I would like the Railway to benefit, the Whitby bus operated park and ride is very useful and reasonably priced, £5.50 for a family of 4 for example. I have used it myself when I knew Whitby would be busy, and can recommend it. It does a...

    I tend to agree with this. If it were a simple park and ride operation you'd think people would be better off using the Northern Rail options/stations. If Grosmont parking was enhanced for such an operation I imagine a lot of customers would just...

    “Park and Ride” is a somewhat cynical description of the offer of park in Pickering, then take train to Whitby for a day out, then return. It is the language of those not keen on the Whitby extension, but is not a ln entirely fair description of...

    I agree that it would be silly to use the railway as a park and ride based on the economics, but the numbers don't lie. The only full trains are the Whitby bound ones (and later returns). Logically you'd think if there is a big event on there...
