That never works in my experience. There’s usually a number of, let’s call them messy individuals (other descriptions are available), who don’t clean up after themselves and expect others to do everything for them.

I see it as a function room, eg bar during galas, or for hire / ceremonies. Our commercial people need to see it when it's finished, and then hopefully that will stimulate ideas. Previously there was a weed covered hole where it now stands, so...

What a polite person. It was a pleasure to read Cymroglan's request and replies. [BJ]

@lynbarn - the Vale of Rheidol did that in a number of places, to prevent or remove forestry plantations spoiling the view. However this was only possible with the help of their incredibly rich benefactor (Peter 'X' Rampton - who was once...

So the land purchase bill trebles, and the railway then has to manage enforcement of any covenants if there's an attempt to breach them. The issue is a simple and hypothetical one to do with one particular site, while the Trust has the ability...

I would suggest for the most part, you should politely reject such requests. Just because a heritage site exists doesn't mean that it is duty-bound to accept anything that is offered. That is, incidentally, the context of my point about a...

Would it be worth repeating (again?) the potential for anyone with internet access to view the statements in this forum and use them against the railway, without any context of the surrounding discussion? Especially at a time when the railway is...

All of that is where policies are required, to determine what the railway wishes to do. But the important point is that it is the railway, and its members, who should make those decisions based on what they need. That leads to a second point -...

I was explicitly writing in the context of a "one railway" solution, i.e. what you might need to operate the current railway, or any extension of that railway that is feasible within the lifetime of such a policy. If a "two railway" operation was...

I'm sure you could nuance the numbers if you spent a sensible amount of time considering a policy rather than 10 minutes off the top of my head like I did! But that doesn't change the overall thrust of the argument, and I doubt the numbers are...

In choice terms, the policy proposed is consistent with the sort of approach you've advocated for NYMR, in which preference is given to "authentic" locomotives rather than requiring strict local heritage compliance. As an ordinary member, I...

Which takes us to the age old question of whether it's hp or TE that matters for running a railway. I'd tend to go with hp as a better measure of operational performance rather than outright pulling power. All of which is taken care of in...
