    Progress cracking along after the boiler lift a couple of weeks back. The cab is in the process of having its various fittings and pipework refitted. At the front end, the regulator, superheater header and associated elements as well as the steam...

    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

    The problem with offering regular discounts such as this, is that potential passengers will expect them to be offered every time they purchase a ticket, and may cause them to defer purchasing at the full price in the expectation of another...

    According to a poster on the NYMR Unofficial forum, the NYMR are now promoting "two for the price of one" 2-day rover tickets for £49.00 via Travelzoo - that's an average of £24.50 per person, and remember that's for two days use, so £12.25 per...

    Seeing this made me (eventually) find these taken on May 7 2000. The engineers trains are from a BBLS charter either side of services, and the Q1 worked the GA and then the double header from memory was to get the loco back to HK. They are only...

    For those that don't know, the open coaches and semi opens have also had the screens removed

    The minute that we switched from "personnel" to "human resource" was the time people in the workplace became no more valued that a photocopier.

    I agree - it's the perceived price point per person. £50/head is a big day out, £30 is much less "special". I also think, in response to @Gladiator 5076's comment about costs, that what I perceive as a fair price may owe very little to cost....

    Thursday is generally one of the busier days of the week in terms of passenger numbers so why choose to shut on Thursday is an odd one. I suspect, but don't know, that those in charge, having decided to only open on five days, have been...

    I think as much as anything it is the psychology; nudging £50 feels like a lot in a way that sub £30 doesn’t. Added to that is the change in “annual pass” fares. Last year you could get an annual pass for £49. This year it is £180. At which...

    Does anyone on here know if there is any evidence yet of lower passenger numbers and/or lower ticketing income following the latest ticketing policy? I can't help wonder with the amount of feedback I've seen on forums and tripadvisor whether the...

    So what steps are the NYMR taking to comply with its responsibilities as you describe them? How are you monitoring and recording this and what steps might you take in the future to address working hours balanced with the needs of volunteers? From...

    Be careful what you preach. two of the NYMR footplate turns are currently over 11 hours with the longest being 11h 40m. These are theoretical times but I know that, quite often these are exceeded for various reasons. Late running is a prime...

    Similarly what data shows you need to run more trains on Sundays between April and June and less from July onwards??
