    Well weren’t you the lucky one. My dad had no interest what so ever. However, in fairness, ever fortnight he ran me 60 miles up to Haworth on a Friday for the weekend and picked me back up on the Sunday, for two years until I was 17 and passed my...

    Absolutely. Businesses run on hard cash, and if 90% of their passengers want dining then they will pay for it. I wouldn’t be looking to please a minority in comparison to a Majority in a business.

    It's generally not the market that's the problem, it's the product. Marathon trips are the exception rather than the rule in Europe. Assuming you mean the Rodelblitz, then it's about 3 hours each way, you can alight at stations en route, you can...

    This PCC member (= charity trustee) is acutely aware that charities have no explicit right to claim back VAT on their projects. Churches benefitted until recently from the Listed Places of Worship Scheme, which was to close in April but has...

    I think the issue is one of credibility as you say, it isn’t a good look. The details should be right because people will naturally question if the details aren’t right what else isn’t. I do worry that if you stack up the paranoia about comments...

    Once upon a time , enthusiasts did sustain a charter market . That was a lot of the success of SLOA . Rising costs , complexity, and diminishing returns in terms of the product slowly pushed that market out as operators chased new markets . Times...

    They wouldn't. But @Fireboxchaserphotography expresses a widespread enthusiast view, which is both reasonable in itself, but a poor reflection on how our hobby can earn the money necessary to pay for it.

    Senior managers also need to be able to dip into the detail.

    An email from the EMTHT this evening says that the National Grid will be connecting Hotchley Hill box and Rushcliffe Halt to mains power shortly, with the work expected to be finished by the Summer. This is great news and puts us a step closer...

    It is a classic case of “well I knew what I meant”.

    I'd noticed that discrepancy too - but their letter is also confusing in other ways (under several possible readings, they're already there)! It says "The temporary propping ... is estimated to cost £250,000 in total. As a registered charity, we...

    Update on the bridge 42 situation, shared on Facebook by the Co-op at Grosmont rather than the railway themselves. [ATTACH] I'm struggling to understand the figures they've posted. £250,000 to prop the bridge and they have currently raised...

    Sharpthorn update. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Xcm4z4kNG/ Quite aware there has been a lack of updates recently, but fear not, work in the background is being carried out. Bluebell Driver Bob Blake has done an immense amount of searches...
