For those who don't "Do" You Tube, the video confirms the ground investigation is all correct and presents no problem. The latest environmental survey has been done again with no significant issues raised. The Factory Flyover and Urban Viaduct...

Ah, what is needed is more managers, then managers managing managers. More meetings more policies more reviews. The bureaucrats answer to everything. It works very well in Government departs that are famous for their slick decision making and...

couldnt agree more. The failure by the HRA advisors and advice to recognise this is lamentable. Furthermore, the failure of many directors and trustees to be able to wear more than one hat is an issue….. by which I mean: Railways are typically...

Elsewhere, away from railways, I’m involved in an ongoing governance review. It’s been prompted by an external review, and is looking at what we do differently in future. One thing that’s become very obvious is that “best practice” is a guide,...

One of the things about volunteers is that they are usually very interested in such details, far more than the average employee. They want to know all the nitty gritty of the why and the wherefore of their railway. When things are deliberately...

I completely agree and indeed I have watched with dismay as the advice has been adopted elsewhere. There is no question that additional expertise was needed on many (most?) boards, but the loss of corporate memory caused the exclusion of anyone...

One of the problems with the Trust Board was brought about by the introduction of the selection committee, for which the remit seems to have been to identify candidates with financial and accountancy or tourism backgrounds. Conversely, the...

I suspect that the underlying issue is culture. One of the problems of creating boards which have few long term working volunteers as members is that they become slightly detached. I have also watched more than once new board members who come...

I think, at the very least, annual passenger numbers for 2022-2026 should be published. With the new online booking system there will be almost instant data on ticket sales.

A couple of points. First, on grants, I was using that language for payments from Trust to PLC, nothing more. Second, and reinforced by the first, I am now an outsider. I am not proposing to participate in a campaign to change NYMR, but I am...

If the 'crew' currently in charge of the NYMR really wanted to try and succeed, they'd organize day (or longer) visits to several of the many (I could name half a dozen right off the top of my head, as I'm sure most of us could) heritage lines...

I'm going off piste on a personal ramble but please bear with me. Thirty five years ago I first worked for a small UK company in what is called the service sector. We employed professionally qualified staff, support staff, service operatives,...

I not talking about directing grants away from payroll, but payroll needs to be reduced to those employees who are essential in providing the railway service. The difficulty is financial so reducing expenditure would mitigate the underlying...

There are ways, but they will be less direct. I'm also well aware that continued large scale losses threaten payroll - but my point is that if grants are managed in a way that directs money away from payroll, that would make the whole mess more...

I Like most things in life, I feel that there are levels of action to be taken here but, like an increasing number of others that I have spoken to, I sense increasing concern that at the end of this year there will be insufficient funds to take...
