    I think the point is that the two organisations are at a point where they can do so. That is in and of itself a significant step forward compared with where they were not so long ago.

    Thanks - somewhat as I suspected, that the effort is incremental but probably not to the detriment of other volunteering.

    I think that is very difficult to answer. BT isn’t a membership publication, so isn’t a valid comparison, but Bluebell News is produced explicitly for the membership. So let’s assume I spend 1 day per quarter on that to produce the loco report....

    Out of curiosity, what is the labour impact of membership? To what extent does maintaining a membership require volunteers to divert from other tasks, either directly (eg membership secretary) or in publicity (eg your role in Bluebell Times)?

    Absolutely no criticism of yourself and sounds like a good deal for you, but one that costs the railway a significant sum in potential lost revenue (understanding that at normal cost you may not travel that often ) Problem with these deals is...

    Indeed, though rising costs have apparently affected other movements so no criticism is intended of any party. But, without knowledge of the details, I queried the immediate assumption that it was an issue with the locomotive - no more, no less.
