    Er…. that’s the case with the 12 month version but not the one currently being employed by the NYMR. I believe @35B s suggestion was to keep the Gift aided fare at the previous £49.50 and make the non-Gift aided fare appropriately less (10%)...

    Then how does it work for the National Trust and English Heritage, etc? [ATTACH] With some attractions they also have separate prices, both with and without donation, if you want to visit the whole site or just part of it. [ATTACH] I...

    In which case I was imagining the fares table on https://www.nymr.co.uk/pages/category/book-tickets, which lists separate Donation and Standard fares - and where my reference to non-donation was to what is described as "Standard" online. That's...

    The architectural style of the new station building at Robertsbridge is designed to follow the same style as the Colonel's station building at Tenterden - including the 'corrugated iron' roof covering. The roof covering we used on the toilet...

    It's an interesting thought, though an obvious immediate concern is that you might then have an awkward PR situation on your hands if a steam loco failed and you had to substitute a diesel at short notice, after many people had paid the premium...

    So much assumption and confused thinking there! Where are the figures mentioned in the first sentence? How many folk are NOT now visiting because they find the current offering (disregarding the landslip) is no longer sufficiently attractive?...

    OK we have a one day subjective survey taken yesterday on the GWSR and the near daily observations of Southernman99. The point is not which is cheaper to run (all heritage workings would be by DMU if that was the sole consideration) but which...

    Any suggestion of sunshine around Stratford this afternoon proved to be wishful thinking. The mid-day run to Snow Hill at an amazingly empty Wilmcote. [ATTACH] and the return to Derby at an equally deserted Danzey. [ATTACH]

  11. Spitfire gefällt Lineisclears Beitrag in dem Thema North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Agreed , but that assumes the one stop and two stop fares would stay at their current levels. As 21B has suggested chasing passenger numbers is not necessarily the answer. The optimal financial result may be achieved by carrying fewer passengers...

    Bonkers or not the decision was hard won with the help and advice of legal advisers who have an impressive track record in dealings with HMRC. The advice on restriction to recovery only on All Line tickets was be grateful for what you’ve...

    Hopefully the original photographer (Brian Dandridge) won't mind me sharing this photo from yesterday - all nicely under control with the Maunsell set (3687 leading) and Obo, approaching Kingscote. [ATTACH] Tom

    Well, can we take as a given that the objective is to increase ticket revenue? Currently the fare is a standard £49.50 return for both Pickering -Grosmont and Pickering -Whitby with Gift Aid generating an additional 25%. If the train is running...
