Notwithstanding what business practice other organisations may or may not follow, should Heritage Railways place moneys, taken in advance for...
Some excellent points. Two questions: (1) when you say emails were ignored, do you mean that there was no response (at all) or there was a...
Its quite a challenge to decide how you market / invest in the varying parts of a multi location visitor attraction? Do you divide the spend...
As I said in my earlier post "To create an absolutely safe railway would of course mean no railway at all. It is up to the Board to decide where...
Have we forgotten the terrible tragic accident that befell a young man - a rail enthusiast and rail industry worker- on the Gatwick Express in...
Agreed. What I have often wondered is to what extent the presence of the foot crossing (and its consequent denial of access to the sidings) was...

Without being negative in any way my concern was that if punctuality and reliability was poor, the costs both direct and indirect SRC could incur...
It would be informative to know what each of the various stakeholders in Project Wareham consider as "success"? Certainly defining the criteria to...
But this statement ignores a crucial question. How many of those 13,000 passengers were those who would have travelled from Norden if the service...
