    I can just imagine you standing at Pickering booking office, Tom, and when being asked to pay, uttering those immortal words. 'Ow much!

    I think it is the staggering change at the NYMR that is most noticeable. On the Bluebell, since Covid we have hovered around the 30,000 miles per year mark, of which steam is about 80-90%. There have been little fluctuations, but not too far from...

    Hopefully, the worst is over. A fresh approach and new people in leadership? It needs it. Sadly, this half-term the line is closed on Thursday and Friday, despite Friday being part of Goth Weekend. Do they want to make money? On a more...

    Everything just needs to be trialled. Trial the "vintage train" throughout the month of May, for example. Trial the real ale weekend with local breweries. Trial a natural wine tasting train in the teaks with a hop-off at each station for the...

    I trust you’ll pardon my scepticism over the income from pure heritage visits. My experience is that they tend to be very strongly supported by those who are already deeply interested in, but to have a more limited audience outside that group

    In making this a reply about price, you have completely missed the point of @burmister comment which as I read it is about value. He wrote which looks like it is about price, and you have answered accordingly - in effect "we are a long line...

    Perhaps I should have used the word participate rather than enjoy. I certainly don't enjoy getting up at 04.00 so I can spend a day driving. However, strangely, I don't mind cleaning out the blocked toilets, spending a couple of hours cleaning...

    Most of the above generalities I could agree with but I must take issue on two of your points. Speed restrictions - without wishing to be nosey can I ask when you last visited the line? There are severe speed restrictions at so many locations...
