I’m sorry but I regard that as a somewhat silly reply to a serious post. Have you been a railway GM or Director or Trustee? It isn’t about creating bureaucracy it is about understanding how a place works and addressing where it doesn’t. We are...

couldnt agree more. The failure by the HRA advisors and advice to recognise this is lamentable. Furthermore, the failure of many directors and trustees to be able to wear more than one hat is an issue….. by which I mean: Railways are typically...

Elsewhere, away from railways, I’m involved in an ongoing governance review. It’s been prompted by an external review, and is looking at what we do differently in future. One thing that’s become very obvious is that “best practice” is a guide,...

One of the things about volunteers is that they are usually very interested in such details, far more than the average employee. They want to know all the nitty gritty of the why and the wherefore of their railway. When things are deliberately...

To existing (and recently departed) members and volunteers the only suggestion I have to make is this: - make your views known in a respectful way by speaking at forum or writing letters and emails - try to get organised and coordinated about...

One of the problems with the Trust Board was brought about by the introduction of the selection committee, for which the remit seems to have been to identify candidates with financial and accountancy or tourism backgrounds. Conversely, the...

I completely agree and indeed I have watched with dismay as the advice has been adopted elsewhere. There is no question that additional expertise was needed on many (most?) boards, but the loss of corporate memory caused the exclusion of anyone...

So I suppose the follow up thought is what to do about the culture. I would be very surprised if the boards aren’t aware that there is an issue. Very. And by issue what I mean is that they will know that there is a a degree of disquiet between...

I can think of many reasons not to publish those numbers to be fair, but I would answer the question in a face to face meeting/volunteer forum

I suspect that the underlying issue is culture. One of the problems of creating boards which have few long term working volunteers as members is that they become slightly detached. I have also watched more than once new board members who come...

I try to avoid criticising people and if I fail, I apologise. The vast majority of those working on the NYMR are very pleasant people who you would be quite happy to know socially. What I am critical of is the way the Railway is being managed...

Indeed. You wouldn’t expect visitors to the Black Country museum to go specifically for the blacksmiths but it might have a bearing on the enjoyment. What marks put the good museums from the also ran is the ability to bring something to life. I...
