Total GWSR employees - 22. Number of admin and marketing employees at NYMR - 17. I think I'm right in saying Spa Valley has around 7 employees, and yet they managed to put out a daily blog about the bridge replacement as well.

Facts about what? John, with respect, If we are talking about that awards ceremony, it’s all there in black and white on their website. I’m not continuing this conversation here other than to say if those assumptions aren’t correct then why...

Maybe or maybe not. There are a lot of variables but while accepting a volunteer isn’t actually free it’s doesn’t necessarily go hand in band that a lot of part time volunteers cost more than a smaller number of paid staff. I could also argue...

Last update was 21st April about the crane turning up. Since then, nothing. They've almost got the railway back from the contractors to allow them to prepare for services. They're meant to be reopening next weekend for through services, two...

If it were GlobalMegaCorp PLC doing the work, probably not. But for an organisation that is making an appeal for every penny it can get to fund the works, I’d expect every opportunity possible to push the message (1) look how much we’ve done...
