    I think the burden question is difficult, and requires a proper assessment of value. For example, many of the costs are of postage and printing - costs that could be ameliorated by making then so no printed materials are sent to life members. I...

    As a life member I realise that after time I become a burden on the BRPS so I offset that through donations/purchases when I visit. Life members though do give an injection of capital when they join so maybe up the fee rather than abolish?

    I saw on a facebook page some petition regarding some changes to the structure of the railway. Can anyone provide a factual acount of a) what's intended and b) why it's controversial?

    Sadly the NYMR used to be well able to plan and execute such a project as proved by the replacement of Bridge 30 in the early months of 2010. That was a massive undertaking by any yardstick and the planning was thought out well before it became...

    Do you mean for emissions ?

    The process to repair or replace are different but there is a lot in common too - both were/are show stoppers to the operations of railways they are on. From an outsiders perspective the Worth Valley both identifed the problem earlier, before it...

    I agree - but I think the point is about management, especially project management, rather than the fact of each involving bridges. KWVR and Spa Valley are to be commended for their quiet, efficient, and timely management of their projects so...

    There’s a fundamental difference between the KWVR bridge and the NYMR’s problem. In that the latter is grade 2 listed and simply can’t be replaced. Not only that but any repairs have to not affect the external appearance. The two projects are...

    Whilst there are doubtless things that can be cross-referred, there are massive differences caused by the technology. 1)You can build a girder bridge deck almost entirely in a factory, so the site time is completely different. 2)You don't need...

    I think just in fuel terms, shunting is more costly than you might think. (That's a subjective view based on having done lots). Essentially, stopping and starting is more costly than running at an even speed. You also have to think about what...

    Getting back to the Railway proper. The crane for the bridge work arrived and was set up at Grosmont yesterday. Also, all the scaffolding is in place. In view of the settled weather, here's hoping they can crack on without any interruptions.
