Heritage railways, as I keep trying to convince people - unsuccessfully, apparently - are not, fundamentally, businesses. Yes, they have business-like aspects - in that income has to exceed expenses, they have employees and assets, etc - but...

Steve 回复主题: Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
I’ve just had a quick look on their website and find some of the headline fares being quoted are quite misleading. For instance this coming weekend there is a Bluey event and train fares are advertised as ‘from £2.12’. That sounds like a real...

The official date for reopening of the bridge is currently the 23rd May. However, as that coincides with the start of the Thomas week, which effectively splits the railway in half, Pickering-Whitby through services won't be starting until Monday...

I hope that the forthcoming NYMR Thomas event is a success and brings in the much needed cash. However, the bookings so far aren't looking great. The event is being run over eight days and there are 11 Thomas trains each day for people to...

We have done NYMR traffic flow to death much earlier in this thread. There is a demand for people to go from Whitby to Goathland and Pickering but the T/T doesn't exactly allow it becaue of the need to fit in with Northern trains. The only one...

That possibility is much closer than most members realise. The most upto date accounts reveal a £250,000 loss and the year before it was £500,000. This year is likely to exceed both those figures simply because the line isn't fully operational....

Well, that is the million-pound question (quite literally, in this case). The recent news of the person who withdrew a very large legacy is very worrying, when it comes to the outlook there. If that person's expressed views are widespread among...

I think that point is interesting. At a certain level, if you appoint a new manager, then you should respect their professional judgement in respect of the area for which they are managing. But you would also hope that the board, on receipt of...

Surely you realise how much it costs to run a really successful awards dinner? Those who are nominated to aatend a star studded event with all the status of an Oscar's ceremony deserve the best in life? After all £3490 + vat doesn't go far these...

Jonnie, Thanks too for the update on the operational side. It can't be easy making these calls, but I hope your transparency means people are supportive as they understand the 'why'. May I ask if there are any updates of the steam locos that...

The NYMR have known about the need for repairs to the bridge or quite a while. A change of civil engineer seems to have brought a different perspective to the matter.

There’s a fundamental difference between the KWVR bridge and the NYMR’s problem. In that the latter is grade 2 listed and simply can’t be replaced. Not only that but any repairs have to not affect the external appearance. The two projects are...

Following on from the Bob Lund fatality a few years ago, shunting on the NYMR is a non-preferred activity, only done when it has to be done. It's not something I totally agree with but I can well understand why this is the case. You also need...
