I went over 30 years ago and seem to recall enjoying it, but haven't been back since. I'd take my son as I think he'd enjoy it, but like you I feel it's a "one visit" attraction as once you've been round, you've seen everything. Talking of north...

Typing this just with my anecdotal thoughts from attending plenty of diesel galas until 1995 and then since 2012, rather than the kind of firm tangible sales data that railways will be working from, but I think that fickle element might be...

I Like most things in life, I feel that there are levels of action to be taken here but, like an increasing number of others that I have spoken to, I sense increasing concern that at the end of this year there will be insufficient funds to take...

Once again your knowledge of legal and technical requirements is welcome. Believe me I do appreciate the difficulties there would be to implement the changes I propose, but I did say that I hoped that those expert in the field of organisational...

More to the point, there needs to be something positive offered. A vote of no confidence has very limited practical meaning, as the case studies you mention make clear.
