I was mainly going by the Plc's statement that £500,000 had to be spent on the track per annum for the forseeable. Given that track renewals have...
So the passengers from BL only want to go to Minehead, where there is a beach, but not to Watchet, where there is the sea, but no beach, or at...
There are, however scenarios where we end up with the same Plc, but a different board of directors. I think it is now pretty clear that the...
It is my understanding that much of that £1M is to cover operating costs, which rather suggests that, if they don't get it, they will be heading...
Thanks for that explanation, and also thanks to @35B for his. I am not sure that the shareholders would particularly mind being wiped out....
Does that mean the administrators would be telling the present management how to run the company? I can see that going down like a lead balloon.
The whole tenure of this board has been characterised by a reluctance to do the difficult stuff. While the volunteers slaved away to try and keep...
What exactly would the railway going into administration involve?
Well, quite. The WSR should be charging whatever fares brings it in the greatest income. If that is less than it needs to charge to make it...
What happened to the Park Royals?

Yes, but the point of view that you quote is of a parent who is a railway enthusiast, which the majority of the parents travelling on the train...
So? It's still better than having no seats that offer you a view from the front of the train. The fact that there are a limited number is...
Old DMUs have one USP, which is a view forward along the track as you go along. You won't get that on the main line, nor on a steam-hauled service.
Well there's always the possibility of another FGW Taunton-BL service.
Again, this is still thinking of the railway as public transport. Why is it important to get everyone quickly from one train to another? It is...
You are looking at the WSR as public transport, where the object of the exercise is to get to your destination (the beach) as quickly, simply and...
Another alternative is to keep the steam traction and the bulk of the services on the Minehead-Williton section and run "people mover" trains with...
I find it slightly bizarre that people are happy to travel considerable distances by car to spend time looking out of the window of a train, but...
Is that still a problem, in these days of screens?
