    Thanks for sharing. It may well look worse than it is, but it does look pretty bad. I'm not surprised they have left it this long to start work on it, but I am disappointed. Obviously I'm just going on appearance but I would have hoped that was a...

    I think the label is the least important part of the equation - NYMR's current travails demonstrate how success is about much more than what one calls oneself or is called. I've seen excellent treatment in hospitals that are unquestionably...

    I'd rate headlining a dog ticket in advertising as something a little stronger then "misleading". Noel

    Copying this over from the Embsay thread as this is fundamentally an NYMR conversation which is unfair to Embsay I agree with the conclusions but not the analysis. Businesses also have souls, and those that lose sight of them suffer. Whether...

    Good move (although my post, and your reply here, are less NYMR-specific than some of the following posts there). You make many good points (especially the one about how contributors, both volunteers and legacies, are also 'customers'), but -...

    Surely you are comparing apples and oranges here. NELPG own 4 (or more) locomotives actively hiring them out to heritage lines - any heritage line including Embsay which currently has 2392 on hire - hence it has many opportunities to earn income....

    In addition to what I have previously written, I think there are some glaring mistakes in @FredKerr's last post. Whilst it is true that the NYMR, like most heritage railways benefits mostly from non-enthusiasts filling the fare box, it still...

    I'm not sure that the construction on the river edge there (most clearly visible at 2:52) is the bottom of a temporary pier; two on each side, in the drawings shown previously (visible here), although it's in roughly the right place. I wonder...

    Heritage railways, as I keep trying to convince people - unsuccessfully, apparently - are not, fundamentally, businesses. Yes, they have business-like aspects - in that income has to exceed expenses, they have employees and assets, etc - but...

    I’ve just had a quick look on their website and find some of the headline fares being quoted are quite misleading. For instance this coming weekend there is a Bluey event and train fares are advertised as ‘from £2.12’. That sounds like a real...

    I have to disagree with your analysis. Whilst agreeing that heritage railways need to diversify their offering, it is all too easy for lines like the NYMY to shy away from offering anything but a standardised offering of BR Mk1s and BR/LMS...

    Whilst I acknowledge your support as an enthusiast, sadly enthusiast finance is insufficient to keep a heritage railway afloat; a few years ago the Mid-Hants identified that enthusiasts only provided about 10% of its income hence the need to find...

    On the note of the Thomas services - I'm absolutely not shocked at the low bookings given the points around price I made a few pages back.

    If all trains were filled over the 41 day operating period between March and Thomas in May, I think revenue would be just less than half of the revenue possible in the normal timetable at the same loading using five carriages for Whitby. That's...
