    An acknowledgement that trust is shot to pieces and needs to be rebuilt and a little patience is needed. Sawdust.

    I've just spoken with Sawdust, and from what he has told me I agree that there is hope - but I think the discussion was an off-the-record one and needs to be kept confidential at this time. I think we'd all agree that it is likely to take some...

    At risk of going over old ground the Whitby rover became the main ticket because of Gift Aid. To enable Gift Aid the ticket had to cover the full line offering, regardless of ownership (this has been argued many pages ago but essentially HMRC...

    WHR is £76.32 booked in advance for a return from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, so it's not surprising passenger numbers are low. However, annual membership can be had for £45 per person and allows 10 free trips each year, or half fare on FfR. From...

    Given the use by @Steve of "'ow much!" in his posts, I think that's quite an optimistic interpretation of the views of fares - my own are that the WHR is pushing into obscene territory. This is where understanding visitor numbers is so important...

    Hammer, nail and head seem to be appropriate words for this. As I've said, it is perceived value for money and the perception by many is that the NYMR is overpriced. And that's true of non-Yorkshiremen, as well.

    HSTs are Diesel Electric so the engine is not connected to the transmission, the power required and thus developed is delievered by electricity to the traction motors adjusted by the controls via either DC Generators ( older rolling stock and...

    Sorry to wind this back a few pages; catching up. With respect, I think you're over-simplifying what is meant by 'volunteers enjoying their hobby'. I've never been a NYMR volunteer but based on my experience elsewhere, I have enjoyed being out...

    Perhaps I should have used the word participate rather than enjoy. I certainly don't enjoy getting up at 04.00 so I can spend a day driving. However, strangely, I don't mind cleaning out the blocked toilets, spending a couple of hours cleaning...

    We enjoyed a superb day at the P&DSR yesterday for what was billed as the final day in service for 75014. The loco looked and sounded wonderful. Can't wait until the loco re-emerges with a new boiler certificate. Many thanks to all staff and...

    If I may respond to your suggestions, albeit with my own views and understanding, for the most part, I'm in the pro Whitby camp. In terms of daily operations it costs relatively little and has the big advantage of the NYMR not having to maintain...

    Commercial focus. Invest in new events and ideas to reach different audiences. Build both premium offers and value prices offers. Ensure that these offers require a sensible amount of equipment. Reconsider running to Whitby/how you run to...

    Putting aside holidays, most people don't travel more than 60 miles for their jolly day out so that puts the starting points firmly in Yorkshire. Holidaymakers and coach tours will undoubtedly come from further afield. I agree with what you ar...
