    I take your point, but it's a pretty universal one across all types of special event, but usually here are multiple different types of visitor to them all - broadly, participants, "committed" spectators and curious spectators accidental...

    Explore Whitby at leisure and have time for fish & chips - in an hour??? That would be quite a rush, I think!

    That's the thing. I don't think goths would be using the train to visit the goth weekend! But it's an off-season attraction in Whitby and people might want to visit for a few hours to see what the fuss is about. RTC wouldn't be running a tour...

    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 think that what I'm suggesting is potentially cashing in on a particular market, generated by others, on a particular weekend or two. I'm not suggesting doing so regularly, so I don't see it as being really very different to making special...

    In the old days, many services ex-Pickering were strengthen to 8 coaches, and I'm sure on occasion up to 9 were used. If the demand is there why not now? There are more diesels now, so surely assistance could be provided, and if the loads are...

    I have said before that I think the NYMR is still viable as a heritage railway, but not with its present management. They show a complete lack of the ability to recognise and take advantage of any opportunities that arise. They should by now,...

    It seems to me to be another case of perception and marketing, both of which seem to be sadly lacking among the NYMR senior management -and let's not forget as @Lineisclear used to remind us, this is a team effort! Really, the perception should...

    Regular readers will know that I am very critical of the NYMR's senior management, but I would like to stress that it is not a blanket criticism. I think the MPD staff under Piglet (and also the C & W, who he's also responsible for) and the PWay...
