Forum: International Heritage Railways/Tramways

The Dainton Banker liked Jark91's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

The idea of the NYMR doing dynamic pricing is suicidal and could only come from a mind wildly out of touch with reality. Heritage railways need a set price point per journey. Offer specific discounts for low traffic weeks or for the last return...

The Dainton Banker liked James Hewett's post in the thread Southwold Railway.

Ha - do not necessarily disagree....but I have to live and work here so will say no more.... From the POV of the Parish Council and many of the residents that they represent, we are a very-much-unwanted intrusion into their peace, which is what...

Wonder if the Buxton Spa listed will be the 8F in memorial to the rail crash at Chapel en le Frith which will be 70 years since it happened

The Dainton Banker liked Enterprise's post in the thread Bridge that Gap: Great Central Railway News.

Yes, unforgettable! Banging and crashing is clearly to be avoided with expensive and now quite rare rolling stock. The days when I remember seeing wagons with OMJ chalked on them are long gone! I think the GCR is an excellent railway despite my...
