No grant awarding body would award money to the L&B (either group) so that they had money in the bank “just in case” a piece of land comes up for sale. Perhaps long term it doesn’t matter who buys what piece of land, but for the present the...

A couple of points. First, on grants, I was using that language for payments from Trust to PLC, nothing more. Second, and reinforced by the first, I am now an outsider. I am not proposing to participate in a campaign to change NYMR, but I am...

It can’t be run entirely by volunteers - no one seriously suggests that it could. The questions of a loss making business is why it needs so many staff and why it is struggling for volunteers. If what’s being said on here is remotely right,...

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...

Well, I'm sure that a few of those 17 marketing staff could be checking the conjecture by tracking social media and seeing how many people use the #ItsGotToBeTeak hashtag! Being serious, two points strike me about this debate. The first is that...

I don't know about market research but I was a volunteer platform bod over a 30 year timescale (not continuous due to family commitments) . They were always more popular than Mk1 stock and, when there was a choice, passengers of all varieties...

This week saw three of the six floor sheets welded in place on B 570676. The top coat patching was completed on B 589204 and we have had another wagon, B279702, arrive from Quorn which will need a new floor and other repairs.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
