    But that's thinking like a heritage railway, and offering something better than usual. It was never going to happen!

    You may be right, but I find it very sad that both the LNERCA and now, increasingly, NELPG are finding that their best interests lie away from the NYMR. It really amplifies the fact that the NYMR has lost sight of its roots as a heritage...

    I doubt the NYMR would have much work for the P3 this year either. They've got a much more limited service than historically and stretched finances. I suspect they wouldn't be unhappy at losing this one off the hire bill for another year. NELPG...

    At the start of this season, the B&C was used as the main set. Maybe they have been swapped around to even out wear and tear?

    I'll open the bidding at 30 pieces of silver (plus VAT, non-school holiday premium and a £1.50 booking fee)

    And the wider, non monetary, debt owed to them is one of the factors lost by some in previous discussions on this theme

    As part of that assessment, here's something I wonder about - but I have no idea if the Bluebell has done it. Does anyone have any idea? Look at the legacies that come in each year, and divide them into i) legacies that come in from life...

    A few years back at an AGM I was discussing with another life member whether a nominal £5 payment should be made for things like galas. Very much in favour but I get the sense it's all or nothing with this approach, which probably a lot easier to...

    I think there is another point about life membership, which is that the CCBS structure is about providing a community benefit, and that makes it difficult to have tiers of membership that have different benefits. So for example you can have...

    The current focus is to finish the Jinty; the aim is September this year. It'll then be 'Sutton'. Otherwise, everything else is paused and awaiting another day in the year, money or people to come along to do it. Ugly's owner sadly passed away...

    Having gone through many reorganisation at work in my lifetime (now retired) even when the benefits far outweigh the positives there will be a small percentage who will resist change and want things to carry on as they were. Hopefully people will...

    As @Paul42 says, it has been covered in the most recent issue of Bluebell News and also in communications to members about the upcoming Society AGM. The proposal is a structural change that will in effect merge the current PLC and Society as a...

    I also feel from our visits that most of the accommodation is at the Pickering end, and as apparently trains from their to Whitby are full presumably that reflects it. The railway will know how many tickets it sells from Whitby to Goathland, but...

    Don't forget as well , Llangollen had a structure where the trust held the majority of the assets and LRO , whilst the plc was the trading entity .They were fortunate in that and it aided a prompt return . what is the NYMR structure ? many...

    That possibility is much closer than most members realise. The most upto date accounts reveal a £250,000 loss and the year before it was £500,000. This year is likely to exceed both those figures simply because the line isn't fully operational....
