You don't pay for all the drivers, firemen and cleaners and some workshop staff on an HR.

And it's not just diners. There's the staff to consider as well. You may get back to Grosmont at 10pm, but catering staff won't be booking off until gone 11, and rail staff even later.

Yes. It's why we need transparency from the NYMR. There has been so much obfuscation. What are they hiding? Why did they use columns in Moorsline justifying the appointment of the CEO? Why don't they publish passenger data? They've never had...
