    I notice at the questions section, it was mentioned that the relationship was still fraught, between the landowners and the railway. With them watching every move the railway makes, one mistake and they start shouting to the various agencies....

    I don’t know, however it is almost certain the compensation amount was not settled on the date RVR took possession. The CP process allows this to be settled at a later date, at a tribunal if necessary. I expect little or nothing more about this...

    Culture is grown, not laid down. Changing legal documents should be, if necessary, part of locking in change - not determining the nature of the change, nor just responding to change. You then raise structural questions about the relationship...

    And someone to prepare the accounts, not necessarily a Trustee, to save the circa £10,000 the three organisations spend each year on accountancy/book-keeping. Surely it is not beyond the wit of the Trustees to find someone if the Treasurer is...

    And that is where the distinction between membership and participation bites - in the example I gave, the FD attends but is not a member. Their voice is heard, and there's a lot of good work done before we get to board meetings - which raises a...

    Why? It might be the HoF’s fault. There is no reason why someone else (possibly several members) on the board might not also have sufficient financial expertise and be able to spend less time producing the financial figures and more time...

    ’Expertise on tap’ from outside the Board is an excellent principle to remember. It is not essential always to have, for example, the ‘Head of Finance’ or the ‘Head of Engineering’ on the Board, although no reason why they shouldn’t be. The...

    I’ve referred many times to my experience elsewhere. On the board where I’m an elected trustee, I can only serve two terms and then have to stand down. The elected posts connected to the board also come with term limits. It’s made to work with...

    It seems a pity if no action was taken by the EA for dumping concrete debris in the river, undoubtedly an environmental breach. However, in itself, the partial demolition of the bridge may have been no crime since it remained the landowners’...

    I doubt that’s the attitude of authorities. The act was one of criminal damage and or an environmental crime. I think though that railway might reasonably feel that “least said, soonest mended” applies.

    At the end of the day, as much as it might stick in some people's throats The Railway has to act correctly and be a good neighbour even if your neighbour hates you, and wishes you gone, the railway has to be above it, The best answer to those...

    Thanks for the link. This is a long but extremely interesting video with loads of photos and plans with detailed explanations of how the level crossings, bridges etc will actually be constructed. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the...

    Just to observe the "another church in the next village" is exactly what you describe about railways - and if people leave their local church, there are good odds they won't land at another, especially if its in another village. The answer in...

    Paul. The 3.1/2 miles Robertsbridge to Bodiam station I quoted was simply the old general mileage description used by BR. The actual distance from the buffer stops at the new Robertsbridge station to the RVR land boundary short of Bodiam station...
