I really wouldn't read anything into this. I believe there are personal reasons why Lineisclear has resigned that are nobody's business apart from his. I have seen an explanation elsewhere from him so let's leave the spurious speculation behind.

Interesting. We shall see if that was a one-off, or if the clan/faction currently in control of the NYMR has started to crumble. Noel

I'm trying to think what may have happened at the top table to have allowed @Lineisclear out of his cage again. Will we see other Trust Board members posting on here once more or has he obtained a papal like dispensation valid only for himself....

There are two significant non-sequiturs in that. The first is that I didn't mention volunteers at all, but engagement - and while you suggest support is more than just volunteering, the statistics you quote are only volunteering related. The...

When it's run in, it's expected back at Rolvenden to face the 1 in 50 of Tenterden bank!

Off piste a bit ,but this reminds me of a curious incident in the late 80's when I was deck-crew on the Sealink (as was) Fishbourne to Pompey run. Now at that time we had 4 vessels of the same design, all sister ships to the still running St...

That's on the old Pikes tramway which is now the exit road from Blue Pool. It goes under the SR at bridge 11, Pikes Bridge.

Having been in Birmingham yesterday and nearly getting stranded in Lye on the return train due to the line closure with the fire at Stourbridge, the heat yesterday was like nothing I've experienced before. The smoke from the fire was enormous....

Membership is a feedback loop system. The more the members are rewarded by genuine good news and progress the more likely they are to contribute and to increase their contributions, but it is a system that is equally detrimental in reverse, and...

without going back and finding the posts, I'm pretty certain that you have on more than one occasion denigrated the general membership as more of a nuisance than an asset. Even now you are saying that their financial benefit to the railway is...

Well if you listen to Lineisclear, that person with the bequest is not that important because they are 'just' a member/supporter and he would rather time is spent chasing Arts Council grants than looking after the members and supporters who have...
