    Not just yet - the service isn’t planned to start for another couple of months and the final few things are still being sorted out. I’m sure that all the information about the trial will be published by the railway when everything has been...

    That's probably only because the thought hasn't occurred to them yet, though. Give 'em time!

    Might it be pulling an autocoach? That seems to me to make more sense, but it's difficult to be sure!

    Also, you never know who the person who is your guest might be- they might be a person who would consider volunteering, or a person who might consider making a donation one day. On a more personal note; We had a lovely experience on the NYMR a...

    Hardly. You’re assuming I meant some sort of diktat or fiat. I was assuming an organisation, professional or amateur, comes up with and communicates what it is doing - ideally in the most collaborative way - and (especially in the volunteer...

    I did say it was about balance. But, footplate staff will probably have to volunteer twice a month on average. It takes typically 10yrs to make it from cleaner to driver. Often more. I once worked out what accommodation and travel cost me each...

    I think telling volunteers to “suck it up” is entirely inappropriate. There needs to be an explanation and clarity about why it is necessary, but telling people they simply have to just do it without giving them any voice is precisely the sort of...

    I totally get this, and I’m not disagreeing but I want to amplify the bit about balance. I have been steam dept, in the dim and distant past - but the reverse of your comment is also true. These are businesses and *if* they have come down on the...

    We would always have a third man for that purpose. I don’t think our rules would allow otherwise -.the driver and fireman are expected to fully concentrate on their jobs, so you need a third otherwise unoccupied, but footplate-competent, person...

    I know it creates an extra staff requirement, but when I was involved in such matters elsewhere we tried to roster a footplate rider to accompany the paying passenger so that any questions or discussions could take place without distracting the...

    I'm slightly confused - I was going to say 'surely the thing to do is explain to the customer that they have the choice of either i) a silent ride (that may be acceptable to some), or ii) taking a pass and coming back again another day (of...

    I suspect my friend got one of those drivers rather than you - he expected a little bit more than 'stand there and keep quiet' for his 300 quid. He was distinctly unimpressed with his footplate experience (and, after I introduced him to driver...

    Drainage under that bridge and the next one along has been poor ever since I joined the railway in 2021. It was not uncommon in all but the longest and driest of periods to see a pond where the other track used to be with ducks having a paddle!...

    That is indeed rapid; the image seen yesterday showed the blocks stacked next to the pit, and today half of one side is in! I think that if I blink, the rest of that side will be in! Noel

    For something like a footplate ride that costs the host railway comparatively little marginal cost to deliver, I suspect the pricing is essentially "how high can we go and still fill the available places?" On the Bluebell, we started out at £110...
