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]

Good to see it progressing well. Presumably in pic #2, whoever can remove the caliper is pure of heart and shall rule England...:D

Thomas is an event that will utilise the whole of Pickering station and it is a closed space (see website for what’s going on.) If there were other trains running into Pickering it would effectively let people in to that event free of charge. I...

It did whilst owned by John Boyes but was only at the NYMR six months before being sold on and moving to Isfield. The one photo that made it into Moors Line does not show it named and I can’t remember it being named at that time.

Were any of the three named whilst at the Worth Valley? I think they were just referred to as Uglies by volunteers there and the name has stuck.
