They are hiding the fact that passenger numbers are no where near those of a few years ago. At an open forum last yer, Laura point blank refused to answer a question about traffic figures asked by one person, dismissing it with the comment that...

Interesting he hasn't posted since December, but was last seen on here yesterday. At least that means he's still reading here and hopefully using comments where he can.

Unlike so many other railways, NYMR does have large numbers travelling through the main season. Any interruption to that season needs to be worth it. It's a figure quoted by other lines who host Thomas. There will be pent up demand for Whitby...

Tom's correct with this. It was @Sidmouth4me who I was referring to. His posts were far more informative and someone I voted for when he put up for Trust Board.

Thanks. I thought Ramsbottom was further than that but it was an estimate from google Maps. Still significantly different, though.

thanks. It was the Mattel fee that wasn't specifically mentioned and I couldn't reconcile and that affected every otherr calculation. Is this an accurate figure or a finger in the air one?

I agree - and these are all provided for in the Articles of Association. But there is an important, subtle, difference between "creating an environment for..." and "in the interests of the current volunteers". I agree with the observation by...

The 'gang of four' is a group who are referred to by several people in e-mails to me and I think in common use on the Railway. They have not been named but I can make agood guess as to who they are. And I wouldn't include the person I think you...

I'm not sure where you are getting your income per seat figures from. Could you explain? Not saying you're wrong, just intrigued.

I agree. I have had similar experience. I argued that the principal customer of the railway was the volunteer. No, other board members cried, it’s th paying customer. But, the paying customer has no service if the volunteer isn’t there, was my...

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...

All heritage railways exist because enough people wanted them to. They continue (or not) for the same reason. Talking about profit and loss sort of misses that point. It is of course essential to know what your means are and live within them, but...
