    But it did employ the TR’s General Manager and Finance Manager* in similar roles and the TR was an early advocate of the Gift Aid model.
    *Apologies if the job titles aren’t exactly correct.

    That’s not an encouraging sign.

    This was hinted at at the recent open forum. A realisation that the basic fare was too expensive.

    There has been much trumpeting of the Gift Aid bonus of £400k. It's very welcome, but it only represents around 55 passengers per day.
    Around one carriage full.

    If the fare is too high then it may deter more than 55 a day.

    The reductions now brought in seem to be an attempt to rescue the situation.

    From the start it was clear that changing from £49.50 for 12 months in 2024 to £49.50 for one day in 2025 was an insult to customers intelligence. The fact that the board didn't spot this should lead people to question just what on earth they were doing.
    They've got a lot wrong and will any resign?
