    [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Northampton & Lamport Railway has the exciting opportunity to take ownership of a steam locomotive that that spent the entirety of its working life in Northamptonshire. Known as No.16, this 0-6-0 saddle tank loco was built...

    I agree. I think the problem is the NYMR have over complicated things and made virtually every ticket available to buy online. The KESR have 5 tickets listed on the website (adult, child, senior, small or large family), and they're all day...

    The point about software is well made, but I'm not at all convinced about the question of change. HMRC don't mandate which software is used, or even particularly pay attention. What they require is that the body taking the donation keeps...

    It'll be a question of scale. English Heritage or the National Trust will have one software package that they are using over hundreds of sites all with different charges, so if you have one site which temporarily changes its charges it will be a...

    I think it's simply that their booking system is set up to accept donations on every ticket, but only accept gift aid if someone buys a full line ticket. There's no option to simply add GA to the donation on its own. Surely that shouldn't be too...

    I read there as being confusion here. What people are writing of the user journey suggests that tickets are not being sold as Gift Aid tickets, but that purchasers are being invited to make additional donations, which would be eligible for Gift...

    The detailed design work for the next stages of the Reunification project are now complete so the next stage is to go out to tender...when the cash is raised. They have an incredible £2.7M but need approx £3.5M.

    I have heard a few tales regarding things that HIT have tried to pull over the years. It's crazy, they have managed to pretty much kill the goose with the golden egg by failing to recognise the importance that the live stuff has with regard to...

    From my house just south of Leeds at 15:50 on a normal working Tuesday, Pickering is 70 minutes whilst the ELR station at Bury is 99 minutes. But the point is absolutely valid, that there's a section of West Yorkshire where they're in...

    3 million to overhaul 7821 is a tidy sum. I suspect the main contributor to this cost is X amount of years of paying the engineering staff wage bill. The cost of the materials is probably only around 5-10% of the total amount.

    I was also there on Saturday. A really well run event, everything seemed to fit together without friction or delays, even when all three operating services were somewhere within Alresford station limits. I was slightly curious about what was up...
