Sheff liked 26D_M's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
The requirement upon ORR is to judge an application on its merits. It would therefore fall to WC to offer a convincing case that those factors and events you have cited would be managed out of recurrence. It should be noted that the suspension...

yes - absolutely agree. having been involved in the original negotiations in the late noughties, i have been trying to get that moving (including on this forum, and with both railways) many many times. no real interest from anyone, tbh. so i...

I hadn't realised it was dual braked! Definitely good to see the two railways working together, though. Let's hope it could pave the way for similiar collaborations in future. Russell on the Aberglaslyn trains, anyone? ;)

The language is a lot more collaborative than a lot that's come out of Carnforth previously. But it still creates an impression that if agreement can't be reached, it would be ORR who would be unreasonable in failing to agree.

Sheff liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
You are absolutely right. Because I am no longer volunteering I have just stuck my head over the parapet and sent 10 sample comments from this thread for the personal attention of Laura Strangeway. It probably means I'll be struck off her...

Sheff liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It feels wrong to "like" that post, but if correct it is an awful outcome. There is a kind of implicit covenant that charities have with their donors: I'll give you my money, but in exchange you must spend it wisely, and you must demonstrate...
