  1. Diamond Gaz liked torgormaig's post in the thread NYMR | Autumn Steam Gala | 24-27 September 2026.

    I agree that it was an excellent gala with a lovely buzz about the railway. For me there was only one star attraction, the elegant Victorian 4-4-0, No. 563. I was fortunate enough to be rostered on it on Thursday morning and it was an absolute...

  2. Diamond Gaz liked Sulzerman's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Members used to ride free on trains after the AGM meeting. It's hard to do that when the railway's closed. The timing, the venue, the notice period, and the selection of four candidates to avoid a vote does not feel right. I'm beginning to...

  3. Diamond Gaz liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I'm not as clued up as Tom on technicalities or as eloquent in debate as 35B. I'm not into corporate law or administrative jargon as Lineisclear appears to be. I attempt to speak plainly. The points I've been trying to make have been critical of...

    John, you keep trotting out this statistic safe in the knowledge that you are technically correct. What you, I and a lot of others know is that the vast majority of those voting will have not even bothered to have read the new articles and merely...

  5. Diamond Gaz liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I suggest that attendance is at least in part a function of the importance given to them by the organisation's leadership, demonstrated by the level of encouragement to attend and the space within the event (not necessarily as "AGM" business) for...

    You need to look at cash generation, not profits. The jump in the overdraft doesn't sound good...

  7. Diamond Gaz liked ghost's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    But in the context of recent discussions on here about the need to engage volunteers and gain their support and financial support, why not say “legally questions are not allowed, but in the interests of openness and keeping everyone on board, it...

    It’s a very convenient excuse for the ruling class to avoid any questions that they don’t like.

    I've spent only 30 minutes (so far) and on a flickering phone screen but the accounts whilst i'm sure will be compliant with the law they are, IMHO, grossly misleading to ordinary members and supporters. The most noticeable feature has aleady...

  10. Diamond Gaz liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    ...... and in turn you miss the point completely. Ownership of the railway has never been an issue in the minds of most supporters (I use the word "most" because you at least seem to worry about it! ) but most of us use the term "our railway...

  11. Diamond Gaz liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I've just been catching up on all the posts from yesterday evening/this morning and I really don't know where the thread is going, or more important where the NYMR wull end up. The posts made almost universally confirm a common conclusion that...

  12. Diamond Gaz liked Obstruction Danger's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    The biggest problem with the natural wastage plan isn’t redundancy, wrongful dismissal claims or how long it takes, the problem with NYMR natural wastage is that they keep recruiting. How do you justify a new head of commercial, events lead,...

    So your business plan is.... Change nothing. Sack no one. Go bust.

  14. Diamond Gaz liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I think everyone posting on this thread has a desire to see the railway succeed and prosper well into the future. There’s no doubt about that. That’s why they are posting on here and looking for change. And that change has to be far more than...

  15. Diamond Gaz liked Lineisclear's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    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...
