I spoke to the new trust chair at length, I found him amenable to listening to what I had to say, he came across as sharp, I believe his background does equip him to sort this mess out. You have to remember that bridge 42 is only one front on the...

You are nearly right. The former head of civil engineering aka the totally unqualified Spanish branch of the NYMR is no longer the head of civil engineering he is a contractor working on funding bids to repair the infrastructure despite having no...

Did anyone think to contact one of the huge international railway civil engineering companies at all for help? They might well have got someone qualified on secondment for a year or two, while they sort out a permanent solution. The company...

They were 35 years old when withdrawn - with the exception of 101s, virtually every other first generation DMU was younger than that when withdrawn. The first Mk1 was only 16 years old when preserved!

I think this "explanation" needs more explaining. Are you suggesting that the person was employed despite the railway having "the professional support of two experienced volunteers and the very effective input from a contractor"? So, what...

A "heritage Pacer train"? Well, I guess it's a way to start. Noel

We have launched an appeal for the Conwil extension. This has been boosted by a significant donation by a generous donor and an offer to match fund pound for pound anything raised through the appeal. link to Welsh Railway Trust Facebook page...

Yes, adverse comments on social media was the jist of what was said. Not the fact that they were after a director of civil engineering, then the person they employed was someone who is merely a project manager and quantity surveyor, not a...

You could debate pricing models until the cows come home, and clearly different railways have chosen different models based on their own insight about their passengers. (One very clear divide for families, for example, are lines - such as the...

That is what used to happen, there were peak fares that applied during the periods you suggest, and cheaper fares the rest of the time. There were times the trains would fill themselves and times you need to coax people on to them. Sawdust.

To be fair, that’s not actually too far off what we have now - the Mets, 1098, 7598 & the 4 wheelers have 55 compartments between them, weighing in at around 184 tons. Admittedly that is 10 coaches, but only 1098 is a “full length” coach, so the...

It was a near miss - offered, but the railway couldn't afford it as at the time they were paying off the purchase price for "Birch Grove" and a couple of other carriages purchased around the same time. A bit utilitarian, but you could have had...

Dynamic pricing is for the likes of Sleazy Jet and Ryanscare. Brutal capacity management by dynamic pricing has no place with leisure/ heritage businesses such heritage railways. However, there is definitely scope for heritage railways to...
