People are strange creatures, aren't they? A video link is posted to a forum. Some people watch the video. Fine. Others take time to tell anybody who will listen that they don't watch videos. Also fine, I guess. But, you could just go to the...

True Al. I believe Amber requires the driver of the steam loco up front and the diesel driver take into account the lineside conditions, with the latter assisting when they feel it's necessary. Hopefully that will be not at all. Our experience...

A very perceptive question. They don’t have to as the Trust could be merged into the charitable CBS. The disadvantage with that is that the moment a CCBS cannot register with the Charity Commission.That can affect grants from donors who only...

As you'd expect given my views of governance at other railways, I think this is an excellent idea, and should be regarded as a high priority. But. But. All the modifications in the world will only equate to moving the deckchairs on the Titanic...

D7076 liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
You’re not wrong in anything you have said. I visited for the first time this year and the disenchantment with how the railway is being run increases the further away you get from Park Street. I didn’t get to Grosmont but I expect it would have...

I completely agree with @pmh_74. We are from the same organisation and have interacted frequently with each other when on duty and otherwise. I have also read and agree with many of @jnc's points (in particular to the NYMR's thread) but I'm sorry...

Jark91 liked 21B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
This remains a fascinating debate. I do like the idea for structure proposed by @Lineisclear. I think that the only issue would be that such a change could only cement change, not catalyse change. @35B made an interesting point about authority...
