I think that point is interesting. At a certain level, if you appoint a new manager, then you should respect their professional judgement in respect of the area for which they are managing. But you would also hope that the board, on receipt of...

My kids' school seems to rely on voluntary contributions (from parents) to keep functioning. And that's a state-run school nominally funded through taxation - and I most certainly pay more than enough of that. I'm probably subsidising my employer...

The society and the plc are currently companies limited by guarantee and by shares respectively. The proposal is to combine them as a single charitable community benefit society, that would own and operate the railway. There is a Q&A on it in...

Well, that is the million-pound question (quite literally, in this case). The recent news of the person who withdrew a very large legacy is very worrying, when it comes to the outlook there. If that person's expressed views are widespread among...

I do seriously worry for this railway. As it stands even if they get through this project their funds are going to be such a perilous state, with known big repairs to other bridges as well as the tunnel coming down the track, not to mention other...

V2.7 incoming... post on the NYMR Unofficial Forum states revised date for reopening is now Saturday 23rd May. The outline plan had 13th April as a start date for damming and foundation installation with completion of all works by 30th April. As...

The NYMR have known about the need for repairs to the bridge or quite a while. A change of civil engineer seems to have brought a different perspective to the matter.

As the inspection saloon has no corridor connection, it is very much an entirety of it's own. Nice to have for exclusive use (see Celia on the Belmond Pullman) but part of the catering set up, one wonders on the additional logistics and staff to...

Sadly the NYMR used to be well able to plan and execute such a project as proved by the replacement of Bridge 30 in the early months of 2010. That was a massive undertaking by any yardstick and the planning was thought out well before it became...

It might seem odd but I can agree with both you Mike, and Steve. Bridge 42 is, as Steve says, very much more of a difficulty than any at the KWVR. The structure, the stone and the access are all complications the KWVR don't have. Where the KWVR...

Yes likewise. It's heartbreaking. We have to fight back somehow because this has happened before at this location. I hope there are now good quality cameras monitoring the two access routes to the site because if there aren't, well it's going to...

The Haworth bridge replacement was also proactive rather than reactive. Same as the Spa Valley's recent bridge replacement. Neither line was shut for an appreciable amount of time. The NYMR have seemingly been caught on the hop with Bridge 42,...

If this is accurate the full line might not open until June, after the Thomas week.

Whilst there are doubtless things that can be cross-referred, there are massive differences caused by the technology. 1)You can build a girder bridge deck almost entirely in a factory, so the site time is completely different. 2)You don't need...

I think just in fuel terms, shunting is more costly than you might think. (That's a subjective view based on having done lots). Essentially, stopping and starting is more costly than running at an even speed. You also have to think about what...
