So, is vat payable on the value of the voucher, whether redeemed, or not?

I wonder what HMRC would say to a tea and cake voucher being included with the vat free rail ticket? Now who do I know that I could ask?;):)

The only real difference in NYMR timetabling between pre Whitby and post Whitby is that some trains continue beyond Grosmont. Until 2024 there were essentially the same number of trains/day at roughly the same times, all serving Grosmont,...

I suppose when all is said and done perhaps the situation is as simple as this… heritage railways cannot be run as cheaply as they once could (fewer volunteers, especially with key skills, rising costs especially energy) and people don’t have the...

Good luck to any railway trying to pretend the tourism market is what it was in the 1990's, or even pre-covid, particularly the longer lines. There was recently a post here about Alton Towers in decline, there was feature on the news the other...

Extending the loop to summit will pose some problems as has been pointed out over the years. In the past when the various stretches of track have been renewed, the opportunity to realign the curves has been taken. In some cases the amount of slew...

Indeed not. If we make, gross, say £1m in catering trains out of a gross railway income of £4.5m, then not running those trains just means the fixed costs of running the railway - infrastructure and so on - gets spread over a smaller base,...

It was me who mentioned double track to summit in response to @60044's suggestion of an intermediate loop in Newtondale. It was me trying to explain why a loop in Newtondale would be of no benefit in increasing train paths. I never suggested...

Going back many years bow, there was a plan to build the NYMR equivalent of the Engine House at Grosmont. it was in the 1980's and would be known as the Bellwood centre and primarily intended to hold out of ticket locos under cover but with much...

Thinking about this a little, I'm going to compare and contrast with the SVR, mainly due to being the railway most familiar to me. Main starting station for passengers: Kidderminster and Pickering Main destination, some starting traffic:...

To some extent the Railway realises that running to Whitby creates operational constraints that are not conducive to anything but a standard day. For this reason, the galas have a timetable that does not include the usual Pickering - Whitby...

I find it helpful to think of the opportunities to deliver services to the public as products. Each product has its own unique characteristics that appeal to a unique set of customers (there is of course overlap because more than one product may...

We've had a lot of detailed discussion about the fall off in traffic at the NYMR and the subsequent financial woes, but I think it can all be summed up fairly succinctly - the NYMR management in recent years have forgotten that the railway is...

Whether Whitby is tail or dog is a different discussion. But I do very strongly suspect that the Whitby traffic is dominant, and that is why marketing etc has focused so heavily on promoting that, rather than “internal” traffic.
