    Whilst I totally understand the economic necessities that drive this model, it’s also one that has deterred us from travelling, despite being a WHRS member. This also goes for the NYMR and other similar operations. A no options A-B-A train ride...

    Hopefully, the worst is over. A fresh approach and new people in leadership? It needs it. Sadly, this half-term the line is closed on Thursday and Friday, despite Friday being part of Goth Weekend. Do they want to make money? On a more...

    In making this a reply about price, you have completely missed the point of @burmister comment which as I read it is about value. He wrote which looks like it is about price, and you have answered accordingly - in effect "we are a long line...

    If I may respond to your suggestions, albeit with my own views and understanding, for the most part, I'm in the pro Whitby camp. In terms of daily operations it costs relatively little and has the big advantage of the NYMR not having to maintain...

    Most of the above generalities I could agree with but I must take issue on two of your points. Speed restrictions - without wishing to be nosey can I ask when you last visited the line? There are severe speed restrictions at so many locations...

    A good few years ago @Lineisclear asked on another forum what the purpose of the NYMR was. I responded by saying that its prime purpose was for volunteers to enjoy their hobby. I was quickly told that I was wrong and the railways prime purpose...

    I have long been saying that one of the NYMR's greatest weaknesses is the lack of communication to its supporters, whether it be volunteers, members or donators. And by communication, I don't mean spin, leave that to the politicians. We used to...

    ..... but you in turn seem to be suggesting that all the critical opinions being expressed on here are those of disgruntled individuals. Of course, both views might be true, but there is rather more evidence that there is a groundswell of...

    I’m sorry John but if what was told at the weekend is true then a number of senior staff made serious allegations against the CEO, immediate action was taken and you and another rallied behind her and saved her when her opposition was totally...
