I think it is the staggering change at the NYMR that is most noticeable. On the Bluebell, since Covid we have hovered around the 30,000 miles per year mark, of which steam is about 80-90%. There have been little fluctuations, but not too far from...

I did ask for helpful and constructive comments - I presume you read that! I didn't "rubbish" the Pullman argument, but pointed out that there would be some issues - and its author has recognised the validity of my comment and suggested some...

That depends by what you mean by "pure heritage visits"! It's a bit like saying that people only visit Stonehenge because they are interested in bronze age monuments, or the Royal Armouries Museum because they like particularly swords, armour...

Hammer, nail and head seem to be appropriate words for this. As I've said, it is perceived value for money and the perception by many is that the NYMR is overpriced. And that's true of non-Yorkshiremen, as well.

A good start - lets have more constructive suggestions (and no more harping about the mess the NYMR is currently in, we know all about that!). A comment from me on this idea for a first class carriage on Whitby sets - first of all, there's only...

I completely agree that new ideas need to keep being trialled on a continuous basis to find new money, but also just keep things 'fresh'. The SVR/KWVR/ELR keep people coming back multiple times a year because they run lots of contrasting events....

Exactly! I remember Cris Price sitting with me in a cafe in Fairbourne after he got the GM job, but before he started at the NYMR saying "we mustn't be afraid to try doing things differently; even if they don't work out at least we'll have...

Everything just needs to be trialled. Trial the "vintage train" throughout the month of May, for example. Trial the real ale weekend with local breweries. Trial a natural wine tasting train in the teaks with a hop-off at each station for the...

I think we have to be careful in defining what we are discussing here. When I say that I think that the NYMR's underlying business is sound, I do think that it can be brought back to trading at a point where it makes a annual surplus, but that...

Well the last couple of posts seem to have struck everyone dumb, but I for one am always interested in hearing views of how the business can be changed and evolved. I'm in the camp that thinks it is fundamentally sound, but it has to be priced...

An acknowledgement that trust is shot to pieces and needs to be rebuilt and a little patience is needed. Sawdust.

.... but please note that I haven't told anyone else what he told me!

I've just spoken with Sawdust, and from what he has told me I agree that there is hope - but I think the discussion was an off-the-record one and needs to be kept confidential at this time. I think we'd all agree that it is likely to take some...

Many of you have welcomed the participation from @Lineisclear on this forum, when no-one else from the NYMR's management side is willing, able or allowed to do so - but I feel that his opinions and views personify all that has gone wrong with the...

In making this a reply about price, you have completely missed the point of @burmister comment which as I read it is about value. He wrote which looks like it is about price, and you have answered accordingly - in effect "we are a long line...
