couldnt agree more. The failure by the HRA advisors and advice to recognise this is lamentable. Furthermore, the failure of many directors and trustees to be able to wear more than one hat is an issue….. by which I mean: Railways are typically...

To existing (and recently departed) members and volunteers the only suggestion I have to make is this: - make your views known in a respectful way by speaking at forum or writing letters and emails - try to get organised and coordinated about...

So I suppose the follow up thought is what to do about the culture. I would be very surprised if the boards aren’t aware that there is an issue. Very. And by issue what I mean is that they will know that there is a a degree of disquiet between...

One of the problems with the Trust Board was brought about by the introduction of the selection committee, for which the remit seems to have been to identify candidates with financial and accountancy or tourism backgrounds. Conversely, the...

I suspect that the underlying issue is culture. One of the problems of creating boards which have few long term working volunteers as members is that they become slightly detached. I have also watched more than once new board members who come...

Before risking going down what might be a nihilistic path, can I suggest that someone suggests that all the senior management and Trust Board members read the last hundred or so posts on here and all sit down in a single room, try to work out...

Yo0u mention grants, but I don't think they are a pressing issue - there haven't been any lately that are linked to employment afaik, and nor should any be taken on now. If there are any existing they must becoming to an end by now. In terms...

Once again your knowledge of legal and technical requirements is welcome. Believe me I do appreciate the difficulties there would be to implement the changes I propose, but I did say that I hoped that those expert in the field of organisational...

Typing this just with my anecdotal thoughts from attending plenty of diesel galas until 1995 and then since 2012, rather than the kind of firm tangible sales data that railways will be working from, but I think that fickle element might be...

I Like most things in life, I feel that there are levels of action to be taken here but, like an increasing number of others that I have spoken to, I sense increasing concern that at the end of this year there will be insufficient funds to take...

If that is so, and I accept that your knowledge of such matters will be much better than mine, then steps need to be taken where trustees need to become actual directors and not just shadows. Apologies if I'm stating the obvious but control of...

I stand to be corrected, but some of the points in preceding posts need clarification: @Lineisclear has suggested in earlier posts that a successful "no confidence" motion could cause panic with Santander if it resulted in the resignation of...

I think folks do notice vintage carriages, and that if marketed correctly they are an attraction in themselves. The Bluebell used to specifically note a 'vintage train' of non-corridor stock on the timetable. A lot of people forget that even...

Whomever left £500k for Carriage restoration was very generous, I imagine that will fund at least one restoration of a coach from grounded body or unrestored condition.

I think that will rather depend on the carriage and its present condition! By the time is is finished, I suspect the LNERCA, for example, will have spent approaching that much on the restoration of ECJS 189, although in part that is due to its...
