Its the concept of the 'Great and the Good' of Exmoor that has me in stitches [IMG]

....plus probably a referal to the Galactic Planning Board on Centauri 5 and a personal endorsement (subject to constant change) from World President and Supreme Leader DJT :-)

That’s superb! I liked this bit: A railway needing: an oversight board, an oversight advisory panel, an oversight appeals panel, stakeholder-majority voting thresholds, and episcopal arbitration …before it can decide whether someone...

Just for fun I asked AI what it thought of your proposal as a serious proposition. It wasn't having it, but tbf the response was quite good... As satire, it’s excellent. As governance design, it’s a very accurate parody of a particular failure...

Either you got AI to write that for you Tom, or you have too much time on your hands! [emoji23] Sent from my PGT-N19 using Tapatalk

I think there is a very simple structural solution, and frankly I'm surprised that you haven't already seen it. Put briefly, you create a Lynton & Barnstaple Project Trustee Oversight Advisory Panel (the L&BPTO-AP) which would have a board...

Sheff liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
????? I think the pent-up demand that was referred to by a previous poster will be from holidaymakers staying in and around Whitby. I suspect the pent-up demand from those using the NYMR service as a commuter service could be estimated using...

Its such a shame IMO. On the one hand I applaud them for trying Thomas again after all these years. Getting kids interested is what will determine the longer term fate of all of our railways. But to cut off your core market at any time just seems...

Not sure the comparison is like for like since at the moment the line can’t run to Whitby, so the comparison ought to be with the numbers and revenue they can earn with the current truncated set up, shouldn’t it?

The East Lancs are holding a Thomas event this weekend. For one adult and two kids it is £49.68. On the NYMR it will be £70.95, both before any promo discount. On the ELR you get a 12 mile round trip to Ramsbottom with Thomas. On the NYMR you...

The problem with @Lineisclear 's view was that he would frequently seem to create logical fallacies around governance. For example, he'd start from the view point that a charity "exists to deliver a public good" (which is true), then go on to...

A few years ago now, @Lineisclear poste on another forum something along the lines of; 'What is the NYMR there for?' I responded 'To enable the volunteer to enjoy their hobby.' @Lineisclear effectively poured scorn on that and quoted the...
