    Let’s work out the answer to the question. Then sort out what that means in terms of what the railway has to deliver, which will answer the question about what service it has to run. THEN, we can worry about how many carriages should be in each...

    I guess five narrow gauge carriages would have fewer seats than five standard gauge ones though. So a given number of fares would require longer narrow gauge trains. Even so, I agree with the general premise about trying as far as possible to...

    I agree, but to me the question about demand has to do with how many bums you can get in NG carriage seats. After all, an NG carriage will not take the 64 of an MK1 TSO.

    I’m not at all sure there are that many options. It has all been made to look much more complicated than it is in reality. That is not to say that it is easy. It requires imagination and hard work. But, if we can answer the question I posed (and...

    Thinking about this, they've gone from saying "we'll get £68 (after GA) from passengers buying on the day" to "we'll accept £15 per person" in a remarkably short space of time. Less than a month into the season in fact!

    I was sort of wondering similar, not "Why do we need another" but more, "Is it actually possible?" Just because we really want something to be so, doesn't mean it is. There's been lots of on the face of it sage posts saying a business plan is...

    Also - how does this model fit with Gift Aid? Wasn’t GA supposed to be the financial saviour? I can’t see how you can essentially outsource tickets to a third party but also reclaim GA on a discounted fare? Tom

    All of which may be true, but the strategic vision comes first, and then the business plan - of which the fundraising strategy is an important part - sets out how that strategic vision can be made real. There may or may not be the right people...

    I agree Colin but hope you are taking some of your on advice onboard, no offence intended, but you are one of the worst offenders in thinking way ahead of what is needed now. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be considered at all but it’s about...
