  3. Fred Kerr liked jamesd's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.

    The problem with alienating one sector of your customers, in this case enthusiasts, is that it limits the resilience of the business. You can be sure that if the line suffered a major infrastructure failure (landslip, bridge etc), they would be...
