MellishR 支持 60044 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
Quite so. Everyone tends to focus on specifics of language or organisational details, but the reality is that there are potential opportunities there, and the NYMR doesn't seem to have a clue about ideas for taking advantage of them. Forget...

MellishR 支持 Steve 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
@5944’s post and my response seem to have sparked a lot of comment. I used the term park and ride and period shouldn’t have. What I think both of us are saying is than opportunity has been missed. The end of October is unlikely to be a time when...

clinker 支持 LMS2968 在 Oil Firing. 内发表的帖子.
I'm not sure how the idea of converting a different boiler would be needed or that it would be a permanent or even semi-permanent arrangement came about. Many British engines have been converted for oil fuel going back to the 1920s. Several,...

MellishR 支持 Musket The Dog 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
I think the counter to that point is that at this event, this isn't a crowd necessaraily going for a day out in Whitby. They are there for the goth weekend, which happens to be in Whitby. In a similar vein to the argument about the CVR and the...

I think people are getting hung up on the term “park and ride”. Does the NYMR provide a sensible park and ride service to Whitby in the sense you’d understand it in other major cities? Of course not, it couldn’t provide a viable service on...

MellishR 支持 Gladiator 5076 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
They seem to have their own park and ride, so unless someone really wanted a train ride would they not just park there? £50 each certainly adds to the cost of attending. The Whitby P&R seems to run at 30 minutes intervals through to 18:30 so...

MellishR 支持 jnc 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
It all depends on the personal situation of each group of passengers. Someone who is well off (and can thus afford the fare), and who has several small children with them, or has some other mobility constraint (and thus can't walk a long way),...

Jamessquared 回复主题: Oil Firing..
Not quite, he specifically mentions light oils: The oil used was gas oil or equivalent of low viscosity at normal range of atmospheric temperatures. Although costing more than crudes of high viscosity it was more reliable and obviated the need...

MellishR 支持 35B 在 North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.
It depends whether the train is pure park & ride (in which case I agree), or part of the day out (in which case the equation is different). And that is the whole challenge about Pickering to Whitby traffic in a nutshell, as the boundary is blurred

MellishR 支持 Pete Thornhill 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
I’m not entirely sure what point you are making as there is already one running on a completely different, (more substantial) railway, which is as scenic as the L&B so apart from overhaul periods the MW’s will never be unique to North Devon....

MellishR 支持 Bikermike 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
How many devoted manning wardle fans do you think there are? And how many of them will come more than once if ticking off MW haulage is their aim?

MellishR 支持 Meatman 在 Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development 内发表的帖子.
My personal view for many years has been that if each separate group has the same person at the top it is not necessarily the best situation and definitely does not guarantee continuity, and can very much promote the wishes of one person,luckily...
