Thank you for the clarification, which is appreciated. However, I stand by my comment. The key phrase was “as volunteers”, where you have taken a robust position on the interpretation of charitable objectives and the inappropriateness of taking...

John, You are indeed correct in saying that a majority of the Trustees today are working members but that was not the case a couple of years ago when the appointments board effectively denied volunteers the right to stand in favour of outsiders...

I’ll rephrase the question: How many successful locos with outside Stephensons valve gear were there?:)

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 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...

Is such a proposal actually possible? As I understand it, the management control who can join them and can also deny agenda items if they consider them to be vexatious. Even if it was allowed, could the management defeat such a motion by using...

More to the point, there needs to be something positive offered. A vote of no confidence has very limited practical meaning, as the case studies you mention make clear.

I once went to Jorvik, taking kids - 30 odd years after it opened and had been promoted. I thought the base archaeology was probably good, but the experience was wholly inauthentic and left me utterly cold. Given NYMR's seeming corporate...

It can’t be run entirely by volunteers - no one seriously suggests that it could. The questions of a loss making business is why it needs so many staff and why it is struggling for volunteers. If what’s being said on here is remotely right,...

I try to avoid criticising people and if I fail, I apologise. The vast majority of those working on the NYMR are very pleasant people who you would be quite happy to know socially. What I am critical of is the way the Railway is being managed...

It’s tough because unfortunately infrastructure is extremely expensive, especially when you’re running big and heavy locos. Railways are changing with the times, unfortunately there are fewer and fewer trained and qualified people with first...

أعجب Sheff بمشاركة Spamcan81' في موضوع Jacobite 2026.
Whilst I’m pleased that the Jacobite is now up to 2 trains a day so that more people can enjoy the ride, I won’t be rushing up there to photograph the dog’s dinner of a rake that’s forming the afternoon train.

Ok, carriages. For me they need to be clean, and ‘look clean’ - ie no rips and tears etc; windows reasonably clean; opening toplights for sound; heating working in all carriages in winter; toilets working (on longer lines eg NYMR); tungsten...
