Why do so many people think that large organisations always know what they're doing........
Why do you think that you know better than anyone else about everything?

Even on other threads, I criticise rolling stock or train companies, and some people on here get personal. It's weird.
You didn't have a go at anyone personally, but made a sweeping generalisation for those who think the NRM are right by saying 'Why do so many people think that large organisations always know what they're doing........'This is typical of the kind of personal comment that one sometimes finds on here, it's even worse on this forum than on most others, particularly when no personal comment has been made by myself against anyone, either at the NRM or on here. Even on other threads, one criticises rolling stock or train companies, and some people on here get personal.
And anyway, just because people never complain does not mean there isn't a problem......
I went to the NRM today and it was quite enlightening.
The first few people (on the main reception) I asked about the proposed changes didn't know half the stuff which is due to occur ! A bit of work on employee communications may be needed there I feel....
When I found someone who knew more about it, the thrust of the RWM report is correct but, if what I was told is right, it's a tad misleading. During the work only the Great Hall will be closed. The turntable might be boarded over "but may still be operational". Some of the removed locos may be kept on site but moved into the other hall, or even into an extension. The sectioned loco Ellerman Lines may well be removed from the Great Hall (which, interestingly, the chap I spoke to didn't really agree with either, so there's more than just me who thinks it's one of the most interesting exhibits there ! ) but should hopefully be kept on the site somewhere else. Ironically it hasn't worked (as in the wheels and motion turn) "for about a year, it need fixing". Surely that should be a fairly high priority ?
I have to say the museum was reasonably busy for a day mid week out of the school holidays, and everyone, including the women and children, seemed to be interested in the exhibits as they are.
If it ain't broke don't fix it ?
