I don't know. I was just answering your question. If you have a strong interest, why not email the NNR directly?

One railway perhaps. One Trust, probably not yet a while.

Yes, and it also undertakes not to enrich Devon scones to greater than 3.8% jam on top for civilian use only, while in exchange the L&BRT will unlock billions in frozen assets and create a $300bn rebuilding fund, (Sorry - couldn’t resist!)...

I’m sure you could go very granular in the modelling, but I suspect in the end you wouldn’t come too far away from those figures. For example, if people use their discount to buy gala tickets, the amount “foregone” is a bit more, but I doubt...

Thank you for the clarification, which is appreciated. However, I stand by my comment. The key phrase was “as volunteers”, where you have taken a robust position on the interpretation of charitable objectives and the inappropriateness of taking...

Well you have far more experience than me at adding useless layers of management. I don’t. I have taken a few out though. Why do you bother to read and reply if you hold so little interest in the discussion, especially as you seem not to...

Elsewhere, away from railways, I’m involved in an ongoing governance review. It’s been prompted by an external review, and is looking at what we do differently in future. One thing that’s become very obvious is that “best practice” is a guide,...

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...

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...

I completely agree and indeed I have watched with dismay as the advice has been adopted elsewhere. There is no question that additional expertise was needed on many (most?) boards, but the loss of corporate memory caused the exclusion of anyone...

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...

One of the things about volunteers is that they are usually very interested in such details, far more than the average employee. They want to know all the nitty gritty of the why and the wherefore of their railway. When things are deliberately...

No grant awarding body would award money to the L&B (either group) so that they had money in the bank “just in case” a piece of land comes up for sale. Perhaps long term it doesn’t matter who buys what piece of land, but for the present the...
