KWVR membership is £45 for an adult for the year which includes 3 day rovers, half price on other running days, and discounts on galas and events. A day rover is £24. I've had membership there in the past and used the three tickets in a year, and...

Quite, it's this line of thinking that ends up with accusations of calling shareholders/members freeloaders. A dangerous line of thinking.

I think that some people haven't fully absorbed the point of the aphorism you quoted a few days back, 'the plural of anecdote is not data'. That Kelvin quotation I repeated recently ("When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express...

But if someone makes one trip and spends loads in the giftshop, the railway makes more profit out of that one trip than your 5 trips. This is obviously complicated by fixed base costs, elasticity of demand future value of money etc, but the...

I was a member and would make extra repeat travelling visits to get the value out of it. It meant an affordable day out. Had I not been a member I would've made one travelling visit per year. The railway had four or five additional trips at...

I'm been thinking about this argument overnight - specifically, the impact of members on a railway's bottom line. This is based around a model in which members get a discount on tickets (typically 50% or thereabouts), which they can use an...

I'd hope not - keep it to a special event on its own, not on what could already be a busy weekend.

Not my photo, but Sharpthorn going home after the High Weald steam rally. Since the location of this photo is Fletching, it looks like a slightly circuitous route was chosen - it's certainly not on the shortest route back! I think it is the same...

Satnav is often a contributory cause of bridge strikes, when drivers rely on it instead of planning their routes. There is a long discussion on railforums.co.uk following the recent strike near Bedworth on the WCML.

People turning their own brains off, and relying blindly on computers, is a common fault in this age, especially where vehicle navigation is concerned. Some of the more memorable ones there include the person who went for a shortish local drive,...

The GWSR got so tired of drivers striking the Broadway bridge that they gave up and implemented the Hitchhiker's Guide heavy metal beam solution. ("Mr. Prosser: Do you know how much damage this bulldozer would sustain if I just let it roll over...

A few years ago it was stated to be about 10,000. It would be interesting to see todays figure but I gues it will be another one of those statistics considered to be irrelevent/top secret. Tom's calculation in post 10790 is an interesting one....
