MellishR 支持 60044 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Quite so. Everyone tends to focus on specifics of language or organisational details, but the reality is that there are potential opportunities there, and the NYMR doesn't seem to have a clue about ideas for taking advantage of them. Forget...

MellishR 支持 Steve 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
@5944’s post and my response seem to have sparked a lot of comment. I used the term park and ride and period shouldn’t have. What I think both of us are saying is than opportunity has been missed. The end of October is unlikely to be a time when...

I think the counter to that point is that at this event, this isn't a crowd necessaraily going for a day out in Whitby. They are there for the goth weekend, which happens to be in Whitby. In a similar vein to the argument about the CVR and the...

I think people are getting hung up on the term “park and ride”. Does the NYMR provide a sensible park and ride service to Whitby in the sense you’d understand it in other major cities? Of course not, it couldn’t provide a viable service on...

MellishR 支持 Gladiator 5076 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
They seem to have their own park and ride, so unless someone really wanted a train ride would they not just park there? £50 each certainly adds to the cost of attending. The Whitby P&R seems to run at 30 minutes intervals through to 18:30 so...

It all depends on the personal situation of each group of passengers. Someone who is well off (and can thus afford the fare), and who has several small children with them, or has some other mobility constraint (and thus can't walk a long way),...

MellishR 支持 35B 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
It depends whether the train is pure park & ride (in which case I agree), or part of the day out (in which case the equation is different). And that is the whole challenge about Pickering to Whitby traffic in a nutshell, as the boundary is blurred

MellishR 支持 Pete Thornhill 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
I’m not entirely sure what point you are making as there is already one running on a completely different, (more substantial) railway, which is as scenic as the L&B so apart from overhaul periods the MW’s will never be unique to North Devon....

How many devoted manning wardle fans do you think there are? And how many of them will come more than once if ticking off MW haulage is their aim?

MellishR 支持 Meatman 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
My personal view for many years has been that if each separate group has the same person at the top it is not necessarily the best situation and definitely does not guarantee continuity, and can very much promote the wishes of one person,luckily...

MellishR 支持 Jamessquared 在 Oil Firing 内发表的帖子.
Indeed. There is a chapter of Holcroft’s book about his experiences with oil firing in 1921 and again 1926. The SECR adopted a system based on Derby practice, and with a kit of parts provided from the main works, conversion was said to take 18...

True; but the world is full of things that give people false impressions. Start with many (most?) politicians... Heck, advertising is an entire industry that has a major streak of 'giving people false impressions'. People need to get better at...

MellishR 回复主题: Vintage Trains 2026.
Or, if your budget runs to something posher, there's what was the Midland Hotel, built by the Midland Railway, now the Burlington Hotel, just across Stephenson Street from the north exit from the station.
