Steve liked LMS2968's post in the thread BR Double blastpipes.

60044 replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The honest answer is that I don't know, but in recent years at least and perhaps further back, the two positions have been filled by separate individuals. If the roles of the two boards are distinct they should each have their own chairperson,...
