  1. jnc liked twr12's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Quite frankly this thread has become John Bailey vs half a dozen people. None of you are going to change your minds how the NYMR should be run.

    I had a really good day today riding the rails and supping some, refreshing and nutritious Adul Beverages at Goathland. Timekeeping was pretty good overall and all in all a Good Day, although I have to say that the amount of Ash die back was...

  4. Spitfire liked Michael Whitehouse's post in the thread The Volunteer - 2/11/26.

    I suggest it's not at all odd. The purpose of the day is to celebrate 75 years of voluntary run railways. Birmingham was and remains a core City involved in this subject (including by the way the establishment of the Science Museum where many of...

  6. Andy Williams liked Obstruction Danger's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    The biggest problem with the natural wastage plan isn’t redundancy, wrongful dismissal claims or how long it takes, the problem with NYMR natural wastage is that they keep recruiting. How do you justify a new head of commercial, events lead,...

    So your business plan is.... Change nothing. Sack no one. Go bust.

  9. jnc liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    I don't disagree with any of the individual points you raise. But I think that the cumulative effect is to absolve the leadership of the NYMR over the last few years of responsibility, as though the problems at NYMR are somehow entirely...

    I agree with your analysis. However, if your last point is correct, the inevitable future cannot be changed. Noel

    Your belittling assumption needs to be corrected. The role was company secretary and Head of Legal which involved leading a team including numerous qualified lawyers as well as serving as MD of a number of subsidiaries and undertaking a number of...

  12. jnc liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    ...... and in turn you miss the point completely. Ownership of the railway has never been an issue in the minds of most supporters (I use the word "most" because you at least seem to worry about it! ) but most of us use the term "our railway...

  13. jnc liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    If so, that doesn't tend to come through in your writing! There was a similar point earlier, when you answered a question about ownership, and in particular how in many heritage railway organisations, the members don't own the railway. I think...

    Yesterday saw some more detailed NDT testing on the boiler. This is still on the flat wagon south of Quorn Station. [ATTACH]
