MellishR 回复主题: North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Just on the last paragraph: if the current management don't strive for the continued existence of the line they will have nothing to be in control of. Why they can't or won't change direction is a bit of a mystery.

MellishR 回复主题: North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
From what I have been reading on here, with no personal knowledge, the railway will sink unless someone takes drastic action. As the management seem only to be rearranging the deck chairs so that less people can sit on them, a threat of a...

Firstly, just let me say that as with several others here, while I frequently disagree with what you say, I absolutely support your right to hold the views you have, and welcome the engagement here: a one-sided debate is not a debate at all. I'm...

I don't know where you got that nonsense from but I have genuinely no idea what events you are are referring to. Mind you that's always the problem with "if what I've been told is true". It allows slurs to be cast without the need to verify that...

I may disagree with @Lineisclear in a lot of what he says but I’ll defend his right to say it. He is seemingly the only person pro the current performance of the Senior Management Team that wants to post on here or anywhere else. If only they...

I think that last comment is right out of order. Also, it is better to have an alternative point of view sometimes.

Just come off the phone with a friend who still volunteers and was on duty for the gala weekend which he said was hugely successful and a real money spinner so not all is doom and gloom. Unfortunately he went on to tell me about his visit in...

Whether it is intentional or not, there is often a very clear subtext in your posts that the members of a heritage railway cannot be trusted, since their own objectives are diametrically opposed to the public benefit. In fact I'd suggest nothing...

I think taking that kind of maximalist rather than minimalist position as to the function of the Appointment Committee is very dangerous, and I am sure that it is not the only way in which things could be arranged while still ensuring that the...

On that point - the accompanying note with the AGM papers says in effect that eight nominations were received for four vacancies; that list was whittled down to six candidates (unclear how but presumably based on their candidate statements); and...

It’s not the what but the how. At every single step at the moment the NYMR creates and reinforces a bunker mentality. None of what is being done is necessarily wrong, but the way it is being done is tone deaf. I mean how does anyone interpret...

What I learned about the constructional details of Bridge 42 (not an in-depth understanding, but enough for a 'big picture' view) is that it has fundamental characteristics that mean it's hard to say exactly how far it is gone, without a lot more...

I rather hope that bridge 42 if not required to carry trains wouldn’t actually need much rebuilding. If it has got to the stage where it couldnt even remain in situ without rebuild I rather thing it ought to have been shut to trains earlier than...

AGM email received . Eight nominations for the board of directors received for four vacancies . The committee of wise people have chosen which four they want so no requirement or opportunity for the general membership to have a say . Need we say...

When a legacy or donation is specified to be for a specific purpose charity Trustees must keep it in a Restricted Fund to be used for that purpose only. Problems occur when the fund is insufficient for its purpose or if it’s achieved without...
