I think people are getting hung up on the term “park and ride”. Does the NYMR provide a sensible park and ride service to Whitby in the sense you’d understand it in other major cities? Of course not, it couldn’t provide a viable service on...

Well, besides being a life member and having dipped my toe into working on various heritage railways in the past (as and when life would allow), I can see where various problems will arise. The L&BR body has developed several issues over the...

@Jamessquared Yes, it seems mad not to even try. Just how much did they lose by doing Thomas instead of the normal TT? The busy Whitby trains speak for themselves. 400 Whitby tickets is worth around £20,000. Even if the NYMR took £15 in revenue...

I seem to recall reading that Tyseley's Rood Ashton Hall is to be converted to oil firing during its next overhaul. I'm not sure if the overhaul is actually in progress or not. Nick M.

Car parking in Whitby over Goth weekend is a nightmare. Providing a park and ride from Pickering with a bit of advertising would surely have filled the trains. Not rocket science.

Indeed, they are. And from all that's been said, there are challenges for the 762 Club in this area. But the culture also matters a lot - which is where the concerns are deeper

I wondered that too recently and went looking, the most recent I could find was a youtube video from May 2024 of it running in apparent passenger service, but could well have been a populated test run? Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway -...
