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...

I'm mid digitising a four hour VHS tape, the first 90 minutes is Moors video footage from 2003, given to me by the late John Reddish, LNERCA volunteer and NYMR member. I'm going to put it all on YouTube. But how best to package it up? There is...

As soon as I see "from" in a price for anything the seller has put a serious dent in my interest in pursuing the transaction further. Adding "effectively you pay.." into the equation means the seller has pretty much lost my custom.

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.

It's the biggest weekend and half term of the year in Whitby. The railway is closed today and tomorrow. It's nuts.

Firstly all school holiday periods do warrant 7 day a week operation. The problem is, leisure activities are most often spur of the moment decisions. Dynamic pricing would require advance bookings for specific trains, which hasn't been terribly...

To be frank, the decision to shut any day of school holidays is ridiculous for this railway. I can take closing quieter days of the week outside of holidays, but when schools are off in the region, the railway should be running. You can't sell...

An ex company Chairman of ours was quite keen on pointing out that many of our passengers had spent Monday - Friday standing on crowded trains going to work, and didn't want to repeat the experience as part of their leisure. A consequence of...

What has been clear to me this week viewing posts on X, is that quite a lot of people like to visit the railway in the final week of normal operations, for a final fix of Moors railway travel, both steam and diesel aficionados making the effort,...

There is nothing like seeing what you want to see, is there. If you had been there this week there was widespread comment among the staff that the current set up is crazy. Why force people to travel in uncomfortable over crowded conditions on...
