She also seems to be missing the point that, at a fundamental level, income is largely related to the number of passengers travelling, whether they are bucket & spade carriers or people in their finery travelling on the diner - and a CEO with...

????? I think the pent-up demand that was referred to by a previous poster will be from holidaymakers staying in and around Whitby. I suspect the pent-up demand from those using the NYMR service as a commuter service could be estimated using...

Unlike so many other railways, NYMR does have large numbers travelling through the main season. Any interruption to that season needs to be worth it. It's a figure quoted by other lines who host Thomas. There will be pent up demand for Whitby...

I agree. I have had similar experience. I argued that the principal customer of the railway was the volunteer. No, other board members cried, it’s th paying customer. But, the paying customer has no service if the volunteer isn’t there, was my...

...... and I have been told that the company he worked for went catastrophically bust - though I'm sure that was just coincidence!

I have tried in several previous posts to draw attention to the loss of "institutional knowledge" across the NYMR, and ironically the person you have mentioned played a big part in helping to ensure that - and probably still does, I suspect....

The problem with @Lineisclear 's view was that he would frequently seem to create logical fallacies around governance. For example, he'd start from the view point that a charity "exists to deliver a public good" (which is true), then go on to...

All heritage railways exist because enough people wanted them to. They continue (or not) for the same reason. Talking about profit and loss sort of misses that point. It is of course essential to know what your means are and live within them, but...

A few years ago now, @Lineisclear poste on another forum something along the lines of; 'What is the NYMR there for?' I responded 'To enable the volunteer to enjoy their hobby.' @Lineisclear effectively poured scorn on that and quoted the...

Some would argue that, legally, this is what the NYMR Trust already is, and that the Trust/PLC set up is designed to achieve precisely that outcome. We can see how well that is working... The issue, which we've seen mentioned with NYMR and...

Thinking about things, I suggest that it would be possible to run a limited service from Pickering to Whitby and not interfere with the Thomas event. The first train out of Pickering is normanlly at 09.20. That could run from Pl.1, as normal...

That is exactly the problem. If the NYMR keeps on loosing hundreds of thousands of pounds per year (as it has for several years now), it will inevitably wind up filing for insolvency, and some asset strippers will no doubt snap up the most...

I think there are people who have long associations with the railway waiting in he background who are at least willing to help or advise with forming a new, better management group. I don't regard myself as one, because work has meant living...

The first thing to do is build a consensus. Frankly, the tone of your posts on here are probably the single biggest seing factor for the current board. A continuous stream of frankly aggresssive personal attacks do not inspire confidence.
