    After a lot of soul searching I’ve just renewed my membership. £60 is a lot to pay for four poor magazines a year ( I get free travel in any case) but I do want the railway to survive and prosper and being a member is one way to support it.

    Absolutely no criticism of yourself and sounds like a good deal for you, but one that costs the railway a significant sum in potential lost revenue (understanding that at normal cost you may not travel that often ) Problem with these deals is...

    As is well known NYMR policy is not to engage on social media but to communicate through other channels. However I think I can make an exception when statements about my personal views are represented as fact that when they are totally untrue...

    I’m sorry but I regard that as a somewhat silly reply to a serious post. Have you been a railway GM or Director or Trustee? It isn’t about creating bureaucracy it is about understanding how a place works and addressing where it doesn’t. We are...

    couldnt agree more. The failure by the HRA advisors and advice to recognise this is lamentable. Furthermore, the failure of many directors and trustees to be able to wear more than one hat is an issue….. by which I mean: Railways are typically...

    I suspect that the underlying issue is culture. One of the problems of creating boards which have few long term working volunteers as members is that they become slightly detached. I have also watched more than once new board members who come...

    It’s tough because unfortunately infrastructure is extremely expensive, especially when you’re running big and heavy locos. Railways are changing with the times, unfortunately there are fewer and fewer trained and qualified people with first...

    My experience at the NYMR is that people travelling on the teak train do realise that it is different to, and older than, the Mk1s and on the whole they generally appreciate them for that reason.. There aren't enough of them to have more than a...

    Self-evidently not a challenge as passengers have the key timings. I know it can be tiresome if people not travelling have no information but, tbh, so what? They are not entitled to know anything so it doesn't matter.
