When you read the numbers you do really get the feeling that the powers that be for this line are not in touch with reality. To repeat myself (and others) somewhat... Bridge 42 was known about long before the stoppage yet nothing was done in...

It's pretty stark when you put it like that. When you look at the 2024 accounts, the staff costs alone (including pensions and NI) came to slightly under £10,000 per day, 365 days of the year. You'd better hope they sell a lot of keyrings! (To...

Phew! Means that the NYMR still has a few NYMR artefacts left! Seriously, though, with a management headed up by an ex-marketing person, it seems odd that it hasn't occurred to any of them that the NYMR - as the foremost ex-NER heritage railway...

Is that entirely true, though? Wasn't 76079 in hock to Santander?

I think that the rats need to start running a bit quicker because the water is past the engine room and the bow is about to start to submerge. My anonymous email friend who shares the newsletter and other titbits informs me that there’s a new...

The situation you describe would certainly be the best and least painful outcome for the NYMR, but is, I fear, unlikely to come about There is a strong suspicion that the CEO is, to some degree, a puppet of others so for real change we'll need...

The NYMR doesn't need the teak coaches; that's true, but they sure as heck should want them.

The Gresley 100 gala was originally going to be run by the LNERCA in that way - which it was more ambitious than anything the railway has done of its own accord - but then they realised it was going to be rather a special occasion and stepped in...

I don't think they will have pent a million to buy 76079, but by the time it has been overhauled they probably will have!

They were on the loco for quite some time after it joined the NYMR, I think. I was on a footplate ride from Grosmont to Whitby. The pump was turned off on the NYMR and it had to be restarted at Goathland because the loco was then due to work...

The The return of the teak carriages to service should be celebrated, but I'd hesitate to9 chalk it up as a "win". In truth it represents acceptance that the NYMR entered into a legally binding contract with the LNERCA, and having done so they...

They've got the idea from the NYMR, and the opportunity that was being offered in return for sponsorship of 75029's overhaul..... Except, the NYMR was apparently being serious.

I don't think that vision has been at the NYMR since the days of Philip Benham. The problem is that is now being run with "commercial vision" and all that vision can see is the route to the bottom via the lowest common denominator. I don't...

I think it's a combination of factors: a cash-strapped, but cash-hungry, management (they've reportedly just added a new member to the "commercial team", though what for is anyone's guess -there doesn't seem to be much commercial activity going...
