There has been much trumpeting of the Gift Aid bonus of £400k. It's very welcome, but it only represents around 55 passengers per day. Around one carriage full. If the fare is too high then it may deter more than 55 a day. The reductions now...

Now on the NYMR website, and available from 16th June until September 24th: kids now travel free on Standard Services this summer, and in addition the NYMR has extended the 10% online discount off tickets booked more than 4 days in advance, to...

Do the WHR/FR load 250 to 300 passengers on their first train of the day? It's a different railway. The NYMR is not Tallyllyn either.

It will be difficult to assess the impact of the higher fares on ridership due to the steam ban, which is now almost eight weeks long. At least steam is now beginning to re-appear and this should provide a boost to takings.

The point here is not Gift Aid/no Gift Aid, but the combination of a) a further price rise into luxury day out territory and b) a shift in how Gift Aid works. It is a change from the 2024 pricing, where Gift Aid provided something of genuine...

If Gift Aid brings in £400k, that equates to around one carriage of passengers per day over the season. If 60 or so people are put off by the high fares each day, that equals all of the GA takings. Less passengers does mean less income. Even...

Is it correct to say the basis of a recent substantial grant was to increase passenger numbers? How does this square with taking fewer people for higher prices?

I think what tends to happen is that general problems get discussed with a specific line as exemplar. I think you’re right that the Moors is not particularly unusual. My impression is that actually things are brighter this year on the whole. I...

Or maybe put a couple of Mk1s on the rear of the diner, and have it in the timetable as a "restricted capacity" service, so that there's an option for non-diners who might not want to risk a long gap between trains.

Let me start my reply by stating that I really want the NYMR to succeed, as I'm sure most of us on here do. Regardless of the Gift Aid issue, or other factors that contributed, the pricing change this year has created a lot of noise because of...

Tax law operates in its own universe, so I see little hope in that! The language used has been that of the “entire operation”, not “control”. I struggle with the interpretation, but tend to see that as being another example of where the nature...

The problem is you're seeing it as though suddenly everyone will be buying internal tickets rather than full line tickets - that's not the case. You've stated on a number of occasions that Whitby is the main destination, and nobody will refute...
