What was his day job? What was his home life? What was his Dad like? If the telephone at work had only ever been a problem, If he found people difficult and trying to deal with, for whatever reason, you can see why he was how he was. I've known...

Interesting point, but I'd look to the WSR (I'm thinking specifically during the X6 days) and argue the opposite, and say it can be quite dangerous. Disillusioned members, rather that work to remove the rot and make the effort to vote, just quit....

I feel with Stuart at Woody Bay you have perhaps the best working culture you can have, both employed and volunteer. The problems with gaining and holding volunteers is right across the volunteer sector and has been now for many years and due to...

You do have to wonder if something's gone wrong if a volunteer of 30 years feels they have nothing in common with a society with the nominal purpose of supporting said railway...

ross liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Many years ago? I’d argue it’s a different world now. Times have changed, an extended L&B is going to have a higher fare, then you have the attraction cost on top. This is all before you add in the additional spend on things like food and...

Has the Bure Valley entered a sponsorship deal with a maker of electric goods?

I can sympathise with the view about the the L&BR. Meaning no disrespect to North Devon, but IMHO it is rather out on a limb and may need a 'special effort' to go there. In the days when I occasionally had to go to Plymouth , I could 'drop in'...

I don't quite get the "not a massive drain on time (with a young family)". Is an entertainment a drain on time, or does it add value to leisure time? As it is, there isn't enough L&B. There's not enough to make the journey worthwhile, unless you...

I don't think it really works at all for anyone aiming to start at East Grinstead, i.e. use the train to get to Sheffield Park, visit the gardens, then return. It's a 20 minute walk each way; allow time to get off the station and into the garden...
