    I go out for a bit and all hell breaks loose! Thanks Tom. :) After a minutes thought, whilst it is a reasonable idea, I don't think that it is practical. If the venture is to satisfy the demand it is going to require two train sets c/w locos....

    Interesting thought from Tom. I think what it provokes is the question, “if another operator could make Whitby profitable why couldn’t the NYMR?” I think that the question might boil down to how high a ticket price the service could bear. And...

    I think that a franchise arrangement could work well, allowing a franchisee to develop a specific marketing campaign and would leave the NYMR management to focus and concentrate on running its own railway - which is what it really, really needs...

    So indulge an off-the-wall thought. I was thinking about the NYMR, and in particular the Whitby situation, which in many ways seems to be a 6 mile tail wagging an 18 mile dog. It struck me that from a passenger perspective, the Whitby operation...

    Very true - has anyone looked at the Mid Hants line-up, for example, of late? The West Somerset cupboard looks fairly bare, too., as does the East Lancs. I feel bound to agree that the NYMR seems to be guilty of grievously underusing No. 29,...

    In real terms, I suspect the full cost of the rebuild, nevermind the overrun will cost you around a penny (depending on your definitions of "cost" and "us"). If you've watched FS go through at full welly anywhere, I would submit you have had a...

    I was out of venue management before it came in. And the capacity was lower than the legal requirement for the law. Im sure there is some genuinely useful stuff buried in there but the pitch has made it sound like paranoia against a shadowy enemy.

    I suggest that your observations of steam being "a luxury, rather than an expectation" go more or less to the heart of what is currently wrong a the NYMR's management level. I think it comes across that the operational departments are...

    In no way am I trying to criticise anyone at the nymr in my post, and I understand the immense challenge of maintaining a large and varied loco fleet running 5-7 days a week with such steep gradients and mileage. What I would say, though, is...

    If this figure is true, of course, it puts the figure of 10K+ rumoured as being spent on a staff jolly to receive an award we know to be nothing more than a self-awarded vanity project to boost the egos of the morons who "write" the new Moors...

    In general, paying staff is not the purpose of the charity but a means to the end. If that end can be met using volunteers, it will generally be possible to achieve more towards those purposes than if the same work has to be paid for. As with...

    It is rumoured that a Black 5 is due to come from Carnforth - 44932, presumably, as it is main-line equipped and so will be able to work to Whitby - if, that is, it does come at all!

    All style and no substance. Just right for the punters it's aimed at. And it's another former BB car with most of its real history stripped out for today's champagne and canapes set. Yes, I see the irony in that comment, but it would be nice if...
