Ah, what is needed is more managers, then managers managing managers. More meetings more policies more reviews. The bureaucrats answer to everything. It works very well in Government departs that are famous for their slick decision making and...

couldnt agree more. The failure by the HRA advisors and advice to recognise this is lamentable. Furthermore, the failure of many directors and trustees to be able to wear more than one hat is an issue….. by which I mean: Railways are typically...

Elsewhere, away from railways, I’m involved in an ongoing governance review. It’s been prompted by an external review, and is looking at what we do differently in future. One thing that’s become very obvious is that “best practice” is a guide,...

To existing (and recently departed) members and volunteers the only suggestion I have to make is this: - make your views known in a respectful way by speaking at forum or writing letters and emails - try to get organised and coordinated about...

So I suppose the follow up thought is what to do about the culture. I would be very surprised if the boards aren’t aware that there is an issue. Very. And by issue what I mean is that they will know that there is a a degree of disquiet between...

Before risking going down what might be a nihilistic path, can I suggest that someone suggests that all the senior management and Trust Board members read the last hundred or so posts on here and all sit down in a single room, try to work out...

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...

That is a structural question, and needs to be approached with care. The Trust owns the PLC, but the trustees and directors each have legal duties to the body that they are on. In the case of the Directors of the plc, that will include...

Maybe those who bemoan here that 'they' at the NYMR in marketing, management and other positions aren't listening might like to consider that it's comments like the one quoted above which ensure they don't. Imagine if, in whatever your job/hobby...

Some excellent points in the last few posts. We should not be afraid of change, but that change needs to be for the better. Obviously customer facilities (toilets, catering, shops etc.) have to be in line with modern expectations but the...

That comment above is so true. True of heritage lines and also true of the main line. Every time a Saphos charter goes out it's with a beautifully prepared blood and custard set, and it turns heads, even if you are not on the train. By...

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 speak for the MN society but we all know that, behind the scenes, all manner of sharing takes place across the heritage system and well away from Nat Pres. That said, it's rather presumptuous to assume that 10A needs, or wants, advice on...

MellishR 支持 Robin Moira White 在 Swanage Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Kind of you to say. I used to have great fun working Swanage box for Galas. For health reasons I cannot perform safety-critical duties these days, so it was wonderful to be offered a role in this important step forward for a brilliant heritage...
