    In some respects, notably motive power, the WHR is "a brand new tourist attraction that just happens to use the trackbed of a long disused railway". However it serves exactly the same purpose as the 1923 version; taking tourists for a ride...

    Trackbed negotiations are delicate and can be drawn out, in one case that I can think of, over decades. A blow by blow account of each is risky, so EA/YVT prefer to keep the cards close to their chest, and make any purchase announcements only...

    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
