    And developing that thought further, Pickering may not be metropolitan but it is only an hour or so drive from Leeds. Alton is similar from SW London - if you’ve easy access to the A3

    Continuing the thought…. Nobody visits NE Hants except for Jane Austen’s house and the Watercressline. (I exaggerate very slightly to make the point) …. Yes there is a local population, but they need to be given reasons to visit, and any visitors...

    They will. But the question remains as to how their performance compares with other attractions in the same area.

    The answer to the question lies in understanding where the fair value line lies…. ignore that this illustration says farmers…. The key things to understand are: 1. How do customers rate you on price (low to high) 2. How do customers rate you on...

    I didn't say it's trivial. I said it might seem trivial but explained why it isn't.

    So you need a CEO, a CFO and a Company Secretary. Conservatively that has added an unbudgeted £150k to the wage bill - of an organisation that turns over £1m and in an era when all such organisations are struggling for money. Tom

    I don't think there's any dispute about the need for premium offerings, and the ability of these to boost income. The question I'd be asking is how the fall in the number of bums on seats correlates with attendance in the local tourist...

    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...

    I think that’s the heart of the income issue, as the railway have convinced themselves that demand is falling and therefore that the answer is higher prices and a more restrictive offering. In doing the former, they seem to be mislaying...

    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...

    Oh I don't know, Capercaillie are not that expensive and well worth seeing. No but nobody here has a well informed demand/supply model. However, I suspect they have to do something to shift the demand curve outward, grow the market, offer more...

    ’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...

    The trouble with what might seem a trivial calculation is that the number of potential customers is hard to estimate, and the number of those who will actually buy tickets depends on the price in a way that you can only guess until you have a few...

    I think there are two issues. One is the interaction between price and quantity, where it’s clear that the current advertised prices are reducing attendance without generating enough extra income. The other is the cost base. My totally...
