P Home print-out of pre booked ticket or mobile phone copy of ticket all accepted (but if using mobile phone recommend screen shot simply because there is no mobile signal for the majority of the route). However, if buying a “donation fare”...

After the angst and acrimony expressed on here recently it was a delight to see photos and videos of the first day of the Autumn Steam Gala. Even though we may disagree on some things it’s a reminder of the fundamental cause that unites us. Sadly...

I was being slightly facetious in the last sentence, but the abundance of steam today will have been a relatively unusual phenomenon for those close to the railway this summer. Odd, I know, but most normals think of it as a steam railway....

As a folksy example: suppose you are a jam maker, and I wish to start a business selling your jam at a market. I go to the bank, borrow £100 as starting capital (or I guess $100 as it is you!) and you sell me 100 jars of jam at £1 each. At that...

I wholly agree; the NYMR has the structure it has, and no amount of "if only" will change that. This is not a logical consequence of what comes before. It reminds me of Charles Clarke when at the Home Office when he pleaded for his job on the...

I don't believe that conversion to a CCBS is automatically a route to get additional capital investment. There are different models. For example, if you were setting up a CCBS to preserve a village pub, you might ask for subscribers to inject...

Sulzerman liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
23 coaches is well short of what would have been available for a gala in earlier years. At least four 7 coach sets plus a 3 coach shuttle at Pickering. For a minimum.

Victory's livery has been revealed on Facebook. If you want to hear little engines working very hard then this event is a must visit.

You are twisting what some of the vociferous critics have been saying. Piglet in particular does a fantastic job of running Grosmont mpd, but is presently (and has been for some time, I believe) trying to run with his feet tied together and his...

Wait until they start doing neural implants that create a direct link between the brain and computers. About a year or so away, now. (I am not kidding.) Noel

Something's very wrong with the music industry. Because of readily available access via the streaming platforms people don't, for the most part, buy albums any more and the streaming payments to artists are miniscule. Basically, the music...

And mine for continuing this serious thread drift! It is another instance of humans being strange creatures. YouTubers and the producers of films and TV programmes expend effort adding music that discourages some of us from watching. I surmise...
