Indeed - however I would question running a timetabled "commuters" service with volunteer labour.It’s not that relevant though considering most of the stock and infrastructure already exists and is presumably funded. So even a ‘small’ sum, could go a long way, particularly with volunteer labour too.
We already have a driverless bus in MK so it cant be far awayPerhaps the new institute will find a way for the new commuter services and signalling installations to be operated by robots....instead of scarce volunteers!
Agreed - but even so if you are offering a "normal" service you have to run a "normal" service every day without fail. That is a big undertaking and a big cost and reputational risk if it goes wrong.They're possibly envisaging the KWVR being used by tourists going to Haworth or by shoppers, as much as people heading to work at 8am and home again at 5.
Although a steam replacement commuter service could be fun.
KWVR Commuter Operations apologise for the delay to the 0715 service to Leeds. This service has been delayed while we raise steam in the replacement locomotive............
