A few years ago it was stated to be about 10,000. It would be interesting to see todays figure but I gues it will be another one of those statistics considered to be irrelevent/top secret. Tom's calculation in post 10790 is an interesting one....

It's important to make sure you don't fall into the trap of thinking the plural of anecdote is data. Which is why I think the figure given at the BRPS AGM (that on average, annual members travelled 1.4 times) is useful - obviously, each railway...

Some pensioner travel in London may not be optional but much is. Most of ours was as it was "something to do" say pop up to London, walk down the river have drink back in time for dinner. That would not have happened if we were paying for the...

When visiting last summer in the dry spell, the 2-10-0 austerity and the gw 2-8-0 tank were running. According to the staff member we spoke to, this was because they were less of a fire risk as they were worked less hard, so threw less sparks....

i remember driving the PW Manager to Dixter Halt just before the project started to re-open to Bodiam. The railway was the thicket at the end of the track from Dixter Farm. There were trees with a girth exceeding 12 inches in the four foot and...

Over the next few years there could be the possibility of having a steam fleet of the B12, Y14, N2, 80080, 76084 and the saddle tank locomotives. I’d imagine that’s a pretty ideal fleet for the NNR’s needs. With the WD going out of service, the...

Thanks for the updates. There's clearly some excellent work being done. Is there any progress with sourcing the loop points yet? Incidentally, as regards lineside vegetation, my experience from doing clearance on the K&ESR further East was that...

Just to formalise the AGM / EGM results, the actual voting numbers, including results of the Trustees' election, have been published on the Bluebell website: https://www.bluebell-railway.com/brps/brps-members-notices-and-documents/ Tom

The Middleton Railway (which I’m involved with) introduced the idea of an almoner to keep in touch with those volunteers who could no longer be involved for whatever reason. It has been a very successful idea and our almoner recently gave a...

The £24.95 fare is Pickering - Goathland. For reasons only known to those in marketing. the website does not even offer Pickering - Grosmont, not even on the 10.55 which only goes to Grosmont and no further. Nothing is offered from Grosmont...

I think that is very difficult to answer. BT isn’t a membership publication, so isn’t a valid comparison, but Bluebell News is produced explicitly for the membership. So let’s assume I spend 1 day per quarter on that to produce the loco report....

I’m sure you could go very granular in the modelling, but I suspect in the end you wouldn’t come too far away from those figures. For example, if people use their discount to buy gala tickets, the amount “foregone” is a bit more, but I doubt...

We had some hard data presented at the Bluebell AGM last weekend which allowed putting some numbers to it. We have two classes of membership: life members (who currently pay something like £900, but who of course may have joined years ago) get...
