    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...

    Some would argue that, legally, this is what the NYMR Trust already is, and that the Trust/PLC set up is designed to achieve precisely that outcome. We can see how well that is working... The issue, which we've seen mentioned with NYMR and...

    There ws regular contributor on here who last year became a Trust Board member for the first time. He has effectively been silenced judging by the lack of posts on here and elsewhere.

    Thinking about things, I suggest that it would be possible to run a limited service from Pickering to Whitby and not interfere with the Thomas event. The first train out of Pickering is normanlly at 09.20. That could run from Pl.1, as normal...

    Thank Steve. I'm still struggling to believe its not possible though I do appreciate its definitely not easy to create total separation between the two different products. This feels like they have cut off their nose to spite their face. Its...

    The first thing to do is build a consensus. Frankly, the tone of your posts on here are probably the single biggest seing factor for the current board. A continuous stream of frankly aggresssive personal attacks do not inspire confidence.

    That is possibly true. And understandable to run it that way Bridge 42 were still closed. But if the bridge is open by then this event needs to be ultra successful to justify not running the Whitby through trains which must be 70%+ of general...

    As I understand it the licenses to hold Thomas Events are quite proscriptive especially with regards to child protection requirements. The NYMR may have only had the option of a one product site.

    No I don't think it was named then Steve. Seem to remember seeing it double heading with the J72 during a gala, Antwerp was running as well if memory serves. Just found this photo of mine of 62 at Bury by chance.[IMG]
