    Absolutely! Everyone needs to stop calling for some people to be silenced; and everyone needs to be civil to everyone - even people who they think are horribly wrong/confused! (Just calmy/politely explain to them how/where they are 'confused'.)...

    Firstly, just let me say that as with several others here, while I frequently disagree with what you say, I absolutely support your right to hold the views you have, and welcome the engagement here: a one-sided debate is not a debate at all. I'm...

    I would agree that expensive and disruptive culls of management are not ideal. It is also clear that the railway faces an uphill battle to get to some form of sustainable position. Personally I am suggesting that the most effective step that...

    I've today been reminded of two heritage railways where volunteers merely threatened to strike and it had the desired effect so there may well be mileage in it. I've also had a long conversation with a volunteer who says that there is an...

    I agree, but it takes two to tango. The strong sense I get is that there is no tango

    I do not disagree with any of that, although unsure who you are suggesting would suffer from a Daily Mail headline. I think it would be along the lines of "disgruntled trainspotters unable to play trains" rather than negativity about a lock out....

    The problem with a strike - quite apart from actually mobilising one - is that it falls into the "something must be done, and this is something" line of reasoning. In practice it would likely just cause the one thing you are trying to avoid at...

    Thanks for your thoughts echap and I absolutely respect your opinion on this. You'll hopefully have noticed that I expressed my own opinion as a suggestion only and certainly not a dictat or command. I think it was a justified suggestion because...

    I may disagree with @Lineisclear in a lot of what he says but I’ll defend his right to say it. He is seemingly the only person pro the current performance of the Senior Management Team that wants to post on here or anywhere else. If only they...

    Sometimes, brinksmanship delivers results. The threat of action can itself deliver results, as the other side realises the implication of not changing course. I don't like it, think that heading that way opens Pandora's Box, but recognise the...

    It’s been talked about but the general thoughts amongst volunteers are why should I stop doing something that I enjoy and, if I did, there would be no income and it would probably be the end of the railway and my hobby.

    None of them are substantial businesses, relatively they are still small businesses. The turnover may be larger now but that takes no account of the corrosive effect on the buying power of currency, that inflation brings. In real terms the NYMR...

    I have no idea of the level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction with recent and current management and leadership among active working volunteers of NYMR. If a sufficient number of disgruntled active volunteers were to organise themselves into...

    The CEO is a paid position, no? Although you did say "ultimately" (which echoes something I have written to those who seemed to lay the main share of the blame at her feet). Noel

    It depends whether "regaining control" is for their own benefit, or to pursue a different means of achieving the charitable purposes. I don't think there's anyone particularly concerned about the terms of those public purposes - this is...
