    What you have said is true, but the NYMR needs Boards and managements to be able to work together, without egos getting in the way. That means a willingness from all parties to listen to ideas and suggestions. I don't think that is currently...

    I wish I could give this post multiple likes. While I agree with the first point, I don't think it's as high a priority as getting a grip on the line's overall financial situation. If both boards would be willing to throw all their preconceived...

    I think the general point I've been trying to make has been lost along the way in this discussion. If collective responsibility is the order of the day, I don't think there is much of an argument to say that the recent performance of both...

    It really is necessary to define which of the two boards is being discussed here. Sawdust's experience was as a Trust Board member. I think it was always the case that paid employees were excluded from that Board, but these days it seems as...

    Indeed, and my final contribution as a trustee was to give my colleagues a detailed presentation highlighting the benefits of converting the PLC to a charitable community benefit society. On that score I believe my duty was fulfilled.

    I agree, but with the reservation that there may be some matters (where I'm a trustee, the example of a sale of land is used) where a conflict of interest could be so profound that this director should even be excluded from sight of the relevant...

    You can’t have it both ways - the Trust board might have delegated responsibility for running the railway in a safe and financially sustainable way, but it can’t delegate the accountability. So to take your point - if you (as, until very...

    I suggest that trying to engineer the membership of the Trust Board, via the selection committee hasn't worked well either.

    For goodness sake, please don't suggest yet another manager be added to the list of employees ! (because, of course, they would have to be employees, for all sorts of reasons!)

    Having been involved (as a volunteer) in departmental management, I have never in that time heard any volunteer argue for more services just because they want more opportunity to volunteer. That just feels like a red herring. In part - as you...

    They are longer, iirc 700ft instead of 400ft. The original platforms served the 'Coffeepot', a rail motor and a trailer. Our instructions were to build platforms long enough for 10 coaches And the toilets you'd need with that volume of people......
