    Doing such events well seems to be the key to success - and other than enthusiast-orientated events, I'm afraid there isn't much evidence of the NYMR doing events aimed at non-enthusiasts particularly well. But I don't think they are shy about...

    I don't think it matters what you call them, but this is another mistake attributable to John Bailey's opinion that the NYMR is a medium size business which, really, it isn't. It's actually quite a small, but very top heavy with employees,...

    Issuing a timetable, on which the railway's income depends so heavily, seems to me to be a detail worthy of the CEO's (or GM's) attention. I'm sorry to have to keep saying it, but I don't think this CEO is sufficiently competent. If she had a...

    CEO is a misnomer. General Manager is more apt. In such a small organisation as NYMR, I would expect the GM to check timetables. I'm sure Philip Benham checked them. Someone skilled in railway operations management should be GM. It is a...

    I think there can be very few groups who could claim that it is possible to keep their locos running without the subsidy from fundraising. Without the income from the Jacobite, I think even Ian Riley will struggle.

    I think that even Chris Price had started losing the plot by the time he left - take his summary removal of the Levisham volunteers, for example - but, really, the rot started when John Bailey became Trust Chairman, with his obsession with...

    Thank you ever so much for letting me know that you couldn't make the numbers work either, so I haven't gone (even further :--) mad (OK, OK, maybe that's a stretch on what you've accomplished :--)! If someone does know the correct numbers...

    I always wonder about anyone who feels the need to say 'Being honest'. Being a trusting soul I would usually assume that anyway. To me if they need to state that, then does it imply that sometimes they might not be? PS. The wife often starts a...

    I keep saying that the management are clueless and useless, but I seem to be in the minority...... But I also think that the paid management, if not exactly lions, are still being supported by donkeys on the Trust and Plc Boards.
