    It's an intriguing idea, and indeed the introduction of the Hastings diesel units overlapped slightly with the last steam hauled hop-pickers' specials. However, given that even a 6S motor car weighed 54 tons, I'd have thought the 12 ton axle...

    Of course, this won't be the first time a Hastings DEMU has operated on this section of track out of Robertsbridge. Two power cars ventured as far as Bodiam in 1957, on test. Quite what they were testing that required that journey is unclear.

    True. On the other hand, if 7802 was used the Class 20 which dragged 1450 around would have been superfluous I daresay, thus reducing the overall expenditure to within the margins of Manor vs 14xx hire fee. Maybe there isn't a hire fee for 1450,...

    just for context the EMF are actively working on 5164 to be restored for SVR use as well as operating both 7802 and 7812 . Steaming fees allow the fund to manage the loco overhauls and keep engines in steam without years out of service waiting in...

    As matt says, the peak is the only boiler fitted diesel. The steam heat season ends on April 30th. The Gresley set is a notoriously cold set and takes a long time to warm up. Using 1450 as a steam heat boiler wont use a huge amount of coal in...

    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...
