    I think “serious financial trouble” is too much, but it is not a secret that for many years the Plc has run at a loss, cushioned by transfers from the Society membership subscriptions and donations. There is no imminent crisis brewing, but...

    The truth is that all heritage railways are in financial distress. The degree of the distress depends on a few factors: - Size of operation - Length - quality of structures and roadbed - Ability to introduce new products that attract different...

    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...

    At the Bluebell (sorry, again) they are finding that evening dining trains are less popular these days compared to daytime services. It might be that people don't want to drive in the dark. Sadly the Golden Arrow Evening Dining is regularly...

    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...

    I think what you need to do is use your trusty Leica to take a photo of the ticket on your computer, then rush the film round to the local Boots and get a print made of the ticket. Simples! Beings serious, I suspect that these days a...

    Is all that really necessary? It was thunderstorming here just 3 nights ago, and I'm a mere 10 miles west of Robertsbridge.

  10. Spitfire 支持 M59137 在 North Norfolk Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.

    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...
