I don’t know what your experience of the 'world of business' is, but mine is that degree of secrecy seen here is quite remarkable. A guy who I was in business with many years ago once said that there were two reasons for excess secrecy - either...

The Railway should not even be thinking about extending the current length of line, until the land is secured, surely that has to be the number 1 priority, and start with the other end of Woody Bay, to the next viable site, before thinking of...

With all due respect, has it occurred to you and the original poster that the question that was asked at the meeting, and i was there, was from a new member who hasn't got the background information on the original planning and subsequent S73...

I'd be delighted to see some progress. What I don't understand with the CFL proposals include, but are not limited to: (i) How much will the CFL extension cost? Is this the best use of limited resources vs say reinstatement south of OSHI (which...

Where exactly is a positive outcome, the meeting was an embarrassment for the trust, today not only have many members expressed their disappointment in the way the meeting was handled, but also the way in which certain trustee's acted and also...

We could blame the Chairman and his mates on the board for harassing and hounding the only female off the board… That’s a lot of assumptions you’ve made to rule someone out. How do you know how much spare time someone has? How do you know that...

As I see it yet another low point for the trust concerning its attitude towards members at an AGM, Tony Nicholson standing up and shouting at a member, telling him to 'sit down and shut up' was so very impressive as was Peter Miles comment that...

I'm not so sure - I think I'd be quite happy to see someone else debug the system first. Even if NR are paying for the equipment and fitting, I doubt they are paying for the additional time needed. For a loco that needs to be out on the mainline...

green five liked pmh_74's post in the thread Tornado.
My understanding of the ERTMS project (I have a work colleague who has some involvement in it) is that NR are funding it as a way of proving the concept with heritage locos (steam and diesel). In which case, any main line loco owner offered the...

I received a pre-publication copy available to members a few days ago. Written in a different way to the normal string of facts type book with a lot of human interest, thoroughly recommended. Also worth getting by the same author, if you can find...
