    Following the Beer Festival there has been a shunt at Rothley and the rail crane was brought next to B560676. On Wed the C&W team were able to hoist our new fixed end for a trial fit. [ATTACH] It is very close but one of the stanchions has...

    Miff makes two very good points - "the comms people" are probably volunteers with lots to do....and if we feel neglected in our comms format, do we offer our services or just repost from one to the other ......or complain about being neglected?...

    This recent discussion highlights a very important issue - How do you communicate with such a disparate audience? Many of us are the older generation (Boomers) who were brought up in the print and public TV age (BBC television/radio). Then we had...

    There will be Boscastle Guided Shed Tours on the Saturday and Sunday of the Gala. They run regularly from 10.30 to 3.30 and are free, but a donation towards the overhaul of Boscastle is appreciated.

    Thank you Jonnie for your detailed replies and financial information. I'm sure this will show many people the complex reality of running our Heritage Railways. An unenviable job being a GM....But it obviously can bring some great satisfactions -...

    Thank you. Something that has contributed to our lower income is the closure of the railway for 8-weeks between 22nd February and 18th April whilst we replaced Broom Lane Bridge, that has had a significant impact on income. Also, last year we...

    As I know some on this forum appreciate the open book policy on how we’re doing at Spa Valley, this is the latest finance report I sent out to volunteers last night. Good evening everyone, I wanted to share some excellent news about the Model...

    I tend to keep my emails fairly formal so that they're clear and easy for everyone to understand. The Instagram and TikTok content is much closer to how I am as a person day-to-day. It's definitely not an act! In our accounts, turnover is split...

    Hello everyone, It has been a while since the last finance update, and the hot summer has impacted every heritage railway and tourist attraction that I have spoken to. So, how are we performing? So far this year, we have carried 21,717...
