35B replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Thank you for that, on which last paragraph I’m delighted that we agree. As regards the disputed wording, I think each of our positions are clear and we will need to agree to disagree on the significance of “as volunteers” in the...

Thank you for the clarification, which is appreciated. However, I stand by my comment. The key phrase was “as volunteers”, where you have taken a robust position on the interpretation of charitable objectives and the inappropriateness of taking...

A fitter is only required at New Bridge if a steam loco is running right through to Whitby because that’s what the rules for operating steam on the network require. I’m too far out of things now to know what the actual reasons are for a diesel...

I don't think that's a new development necessarily - on both of my first Moors visits (October 2012 and April 2013) it was 31128 on the first train out of Pickering... and it was absolutely glorious. The guard tried to apologise to me for it...

John, You are indeed correct in saying that a majority of the Trustees today are working members but that was not the case a couple of years ago when the appointments board effectively denied volunteers the right to stand in favour of outsiders...

Whomever left £500k for Carriage restoration was very generous, I imagine that will fund at least one restoration of a coach from grounded body or unrestored condition.

Thank you very much Tom for explaining everything that happened. From the webcam the 18:40 looked to be exceptionally well loaded which suggests the AGM was busy, which is good.
