    Good one! (I checked, and it seems to be new; I propose to remember it, and use it; hope that's OK.) Noel

    The trouble is that failure to provide accurate and timely information about changes to what is on offer (and the reasons for those changes) disappoints some of the people who turn up for a ride. Whether or not they get stroppy at the time, they...

    You yourself liked the post by @MikeParkin65 whose family '..got fed up with the prospect of ‘a dirty blue diesel’ being more likely to be at the head of their train than a steam engine.' If now isn't high fire risk when would be? My post...

    I did not understand and therefore wondered what football excursions might have to do with the NYMR. Post #11390 was the explanation that I needed.

    Since when did Footplate Experience operations become known as Footex? Historically Footex was a term for football excursions in the wider railway world. Peter

    Those lines are very different though. Lines like the MHR and Bluebell are not really in tourist hotspots, so there traffic tends to be steady all the time. Whereas lines like Swanage, WSR and, it seems, the NYMR are much more "peaky" with...

    A couple (or three) of key differences I feel the need to point out.... 1. The NYMR has demand for more operating days but cut them back as they weren't/aren't keeping up with infrastructure maintenance. The more trains they run the quicker they...

    I don't think anyone is doubting that steam should not be run where there is a significant fire risk. The problem, as outlines above is in the way that the railway is (or rather isn't) communicating this to people. As I say, like it or not, the...

  10. أعجب MellishR بمشاركة Steve' في موضوع Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    It may be operationally convenient and the NYMR and the Bluebell are two different railways but, if the NYMR experience is anything to go by, Joe Public does not like changing trains. For most they are comfortably settled in their seats and are...

    I would rather they put a bit more effort into their descriptions of their trips.
