So what steps are the NYMR taking to comply with its responsibilities as you describe them? How are you monitoring and recording this and what steps might you take in the future to address working hours balanced with the needs of volunteers? From...

That links to a "General Reconstruction Effort" appeal, not one for the buildings.

I don't see an inherent problem with paid staff volunteering for the same organisation, whether that is in the same department or another. (And I know it happens on our railway). In many ways you could see it as a positive in terms of...

ghost liked mdewell's post in the thread Oswestry to Gobowen extension ?.
That we have to be able to maintain and operate whatever section of the line is open and we would rather offer a quality service with clean well maintained trains than a longer poorly maintained line. I would also point out that a shorter line...

ghost liked 21B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
That is a valid point of view and one which I am sure would be agreed with by many who helped to purchase the LBBC. However, the problem is that a decision was taken by the Trust to enter the pub business, not merely to acquire the site. The...

ghost liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

ghost liked marshall5's post in the thread Isle Of Man Steam Railway.
As, hopefully, the photos below show, Douglas workshops continue to turn out high quality work. Last Tuesday Saloon carriage F32 returned to the dining set after repairs and repaint. This is now the second vehicle of the five to carry the...

It's hard I think to be prescriptive. For example, consider two railways. Railway A has a large workshop with paid staff and does most of its overhauls in house. Railway B has no similar workshop, and sends locos and carriages away to be...
