Not true. A lot of people are very upset at the current situation.Interesting how few people have considered the human impact - people whose jobs and income are going........
Not quite what the message would have said and it would have explained why we have the requirements that we do.then there’s the moderators of this site sending messages to me for posting as I did ‘you need to specifically state what the link is about’ - for god’s sake people are looking at losing their jobs, doesn’t the link say enough? These are very terrible and unprecedented times. Comparing how long people have taken to restore a locomotive with how long some can survive without an income...... is this really where we’re at?
Without a quote (and I think the contents of the quote do add a lot of useful detail that aren't just in the hyperlink address) it can be very difficult for our blind members to understand what is being said as they need to navigate to the new site, go through all the relevant menus, find the information and then navigate back again. Also sometimes hyperlinks stop working due to the content changing location or being removed. Content may change.
Also several people use the forum at workplaces where many sites are banned but this site is often added as an allowed site in the web filtering at companies in the rail industry.
Much of the above will have been in the message that you will have received. The message will also have thanked you for posting it. That thank you is genuine! We really do appreciate these contributions. We just want to ensure that everyone can access them, regardless of circumstance or disability
I genuinely do hope you understand that there is no sinister motive here. I hope to see you again at another forum meal in the not too distant future; when we do, I can assure you it will be on us.
And back to the matter of the NYMR, when it is open, please do let me know when you can be there and I will make sure I visit. I really do hope our donation to the NYMR of a couple of years ago was useful and I'm sure that at some point we will be making another donation.
And talking more widely I really do wish all preserved railways all the very best and I am keen to visit many of them when they do reopen. I know many others will be too.
