Is it worth making a distinction between charities *buying* shares and just *having* shares? I can see the potential problems with the former but...
As I recall, that was the stated reason at the time I joined, although we've already gone round that here and concluded that you're perfectly well...
Really, are you sure? I was under the impression that the WSR was very much in the minority on that one, with only a handful of railways where it...
A can of worms it is! But that calls into question a lot of lines' set ups I think? On the GWSR the Trust holds the largest minority of shares in...
I appreciate the armchair re-allocation of shares is very much like the armchair re-allocation of locomotives between steam railways we all...
Indeed, the WSSRT board (members have not yet expressed their views) seem to prefer becoming (or remaining as they see it) a peripheral charity....
Indeed, I wasn't saying you were, just pondering on if it were.
In theory this looks like a fairly neat solution as you keep all the existing bodies, you just shuffle their purposes and statuses around a bit....
Indeed, some good news perhaps. Be interesting to see what it consists of. Edit - apparently trains will be running...
WSR Facebook has been full of nothing but weeding of the line for quite some time now (I think it's the only thing allowed to be discussed...
But why not say so then!? To me personally it's much more reasonable than any of the reasons the Plc actually gave!!
I seem to recall some rather uncomplimentary references to "the rail-grinding fiasco". My impression was that was quite some years ago, so people...
I wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion. It's likely that it says in their Safety Management system that all arriving locos should have...
Are you sure? What major repairs, to what? I thought it had all been put back together nicely before leaving.
But it still ought to help prevent factionalism. It's harder for it be portrayed as "them and us" if all working members of the railway are also...
I believe it is the Ffestiniog? I know every other time I've raised it someone has gone "ah but, such and such doesn't either!" as if that is in...
On the subject of membership of an organisation to volunteer, the key thing to me is to ensure the people running the show are actually...
I think this thread is still nominally the original one set up in 2007 as a general WSR discussion thread, when such was quite an innocent thing....
There's still presumably CDL to contend with though? Like everyone half way sensible says, it's a non-starter. If the WSR can't be a heritage...
So your suggestion is to allow the WSSRT to carry on as it is but the WSRA, with very similar charitable objects, should either cease to exist...
