Paul42 liked jonathonag's post in the thread Great Britain XVIII: 18/4 -25/4/26.
Making a promise to myself not to photograph any further South than my postcode, my final images of The Great Britain from this year. Of main interest were the Aberdeen legs, conducted at times of day that I don't believe have been done in...

Whilst I largely agree with many of the points you've made recently, I disagree on this. Pickering is important because it's the closest part of the railway to York, and the motorway network. At the time of writing, York to Pickering is just over...

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....

I think that point is interesting. At a certain level, if you appoint a new manager, then you should respect their professional judgement in respect of the area for which they are managing. But you would also hope that the board, on receipt of...

Paul42 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
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...

The society and the plc are currently companies limited by guarantee and by shares respectively. The proposal is to combine them as a single charitable community benefit society, that would own and operate the railway. There is a Q&A on it in...

Paul42 liked torgormaig's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Sadly the NYMR used to be well able to plan and execute such a project as proved by the replacement of Bridge 30 in the early months of 2010. That was a massive undertaking by any yardstick and the planning was thought out well before it became...

Paul42 liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
There’s a fundamental difference between the KWVR bridge and the NYMR’s problem. In that the latter is grade 2 listed and simply can’t be replaced. Not only that but any repairs have to not affect the external appearance. The two projects are...

Paul42 liked Bikermike's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Whilst there are doubtless things that can be cross-referred, there are massive differences caused by the technology. 1)You can build a girder bridge deck almost entirely in a factory, so the site time is completely different. 2)You don't need...
