A superb gala combined with superb weather. Although a steam gala, it was good to see the GWR railcar and proved to be a popular visiter. It was also good to see the tanker wagons in service. Many thanks to all at the railway for such an...

45407 seen at Holme Chapel before shutting off coasting along then opening up again before finally coming to a halt just short of the Tunnel, apparently due to lambs on the line then after a short while setting off again. [MEDIA]

Also, you never know who the person who is your guest might be- they might be a person who would consider volunteering, or a person who might consider making a donation one day. On a more personal note; We had a lovely experience on the NYMR a...

Hardly. You’re assuming I meant some sort of diktat or fiat. I was assuming an organisation, professional or amateur, comes up with and communicates what it is doing - ideally in the most collaborative way - and (especially in the volunteer...

I totally get this, and I’m not disagreeing but I want to amplify the bit about balance. I have been steam dept, in the dim and distant past - but the reverse of your comment is also true. These are businesses and *if* they have come down on the...

As @21B says, this means that the trainee/cleaner can't ride on the loco for that trip if one is rotered and. on the NYMR, that's usually the case. I try and make the footplate passenger part of the team by inviting him/her to fill the back end...

I think telling volunteers to “suck it up” is entirely inappropriate. There needs to be an explanation and clarity about why it is necessary, but telling people they simply have to just do it without giving them any voice is precisely the sort of...

I did say it was about balance. But, footplate staff will probably have to volunteer twice a month on average. It takes typically 10yrs to make it from cleaner to driver. Often more. I once worked out what accommodation and travel cost me each...
