MellishR нравится сообщение Big Al в теме RTC Atlantic Coast Express - 23/05/26.
Many thanks for all the clips. Living in a sealed unit at the back of a train all day doesn't give you much opportunity to know what on earth is going on up front so any external view is welcome. The couple on the table where I was remarked just...

We’re into fantasy land now. Let’s stick to the P2 on this thread.

MellishR нравится сообщение ChuffChuff в теме Dean Forest Railway.
Let's pretend that the new owner restores Warrior, runs it at the Dean Forest for - say - 2 years, and then takes it away. I'd argue this is better for the Dean Forest than having it remain in bits in assorted bushes. And it's certainly better...

Leaving aside the commercial side for a moment, which I agree makes it seem unlikely, the closest parallel to demonstrate it ought to be technically possible would I suppose be the SWR service to Corfe Castle over Swanage metals. Presumably there...

Leaving aside the technical details, my hunch is you might end up in the situation where on days when there is demand for such a service, there is no capacity; and on days where there is capacity, there is no demand! Tom

Quite a lot to unpick here, but I think you are well and truly running away with what is being proposed. Nowhere is it being suggested that Kidderminster to Bewdley is adopted as part of the national network! What is being proposed is that...

MellishR нравится сообщение Kirk Oswald в теме West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
The point you m The point about not responding on social media is reasonable, except when significant staff numbers are specifically employed in PR roles. Employing 17 salaried non-comunicators isn't a sensible use of funds. The WSR has lost...

So whenever the quantity of paid staff on the NYMR is raised, your first line of defence is to talk about the cost of volunteers and how difficult they are to manage. Never the positives of volunteers. Who said anything about Nat-pres? As Pete...

Facts about what? John, with respect, If we are talking about that awards ceremony, it’s all there in black and white on their website. I’m not continuing this conversation here other than to say if those assumptions aren’t correct then why...
