    Quite, I don't think there are many (any?) lines where one can say they are in a good financial position.

    Lack of steam is the big flaw with the NYMR in recent times. I think weirdly its been even worse since the Gold timetable was binned. I used to be willing to travel to the NYMR fairly frequently because they were almost guaranteed to run...

    Of course the big flaw to advance tickets on the NYMR is you still have to visit the ticket office to collect them. So unless you are after the discount there's little point as there isn't much of a time saving at all. What they should do is give...

    At least three individuals that could be considered as "they" read this thread, but I don't think it's too rude to suggest that this forum isn't the primary source for the railway's motive power assessment! Having said that, there's no problem...
