Mark Thompson liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I was at Horsted Keynes today for what, at times, seemed like a Gala day! 32636 (Fenchurch) with 31065, until the A1X took a break, leaving 31065 heading the 14.15 Sheffield Park alone; 73082 on a normal serivce train; then on what looked like...

On Monday, after a busy week (trains for me and woodpeckers for Mrs W) we were in need of a change and so set off for a short break in North Yorkshire. Staying in a cottage only a few miles from Pickering inevitably one day was spent on the...

Something clearly is not right, the reputation of the A1 Trust can only go downhill with every postponement, and It is very hard to win back support once you have lost it, You have to feel sorry for the people who are the ones trying to finish...

Steve liked Scrat's post in the thread Tornado.
Will you be willing to take up the challenge and help put such a structure in place? Or will you just sit on the sidelines to stir things up when those picking up the pieces don’t get it quite right?

Stinch liked Matt78's post in the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
163 is still owned by the Barry Carriage Trust and as I understand they plan to continue restoration both offsite and at the Gwili with assistance of course from the GR. With Taff Vale 220 and GWR 216 also nearing completion (and the carriage...

They can of course cease supporting new fundraising campaigns or stop their covenants. Many have already done so. As someone who previously supported every new campaign, I’ve now reduced my support to the minimum needed to remain ‘involved’ and...

Sir Ralph Wedgwood liked richards's post in the thread Tornado.

Perfectly true. And that is what covenantors want. At the moment it is being run solely in the interests of the clique in charge… using OUR money.

Sir Ralph Wedgwood liked Steve's post in the thread Tornado.
As @Lineisclear will undoubtedly tell you, the managers of the Trust must manage the Trust for its best interests and not the interests of the covenentors or members.
