So yes, you'd have a standing army. Great, and what cost? And with your plan, what would you do Monday to Thursday? A simpler plan is to simply say all taxis are be dealt with by the customer directly. No ambiguity about central booking. Have an efficient reimbursement process.

You still need a taxi driver willing to accept the job. Dalton to Kent's Bank would be an unattractive job at any time of the day, never mind late at night. You can have the taxi firms, but you still need the drivers 1716113730 So you are advocating a standing army ready to book taxis?

Prediction : Passengers will see virtually no difference beyond marginally less industrial action

The UK already uses metric. It's already switched. The UK is a combined system. You buy fuel for a car in metric, but measure distance of the car in imperial. The mapping of the country is divided into metric blocks, but the road signs in imperial. You're not allowed to drink alcoholic drinks...

Why would the legislation be changed? If WCRC don't want to run a steam service someone else will. As WCRC keep saying, it's a lucrative market and supporting the economy is critical. So let another operator run instead. That should be the priority now, finding an alternative operator

Recession is 2 quarters of negative growth. That's a standard global economic definition. It doesn't by country as you suggest.

It's the message that it sends rather than the specifics. Given the local economy is so important to WCRC then a company seeking to help will surely receive their full support.....?

Let's not confuse this topic by adding facts to it Might I suggest this topic get locked now. It's pretty clear the OP hasn't found the agreement he is looking for.

You posted on a public forum asking opinions. No need for sarcasm when you get an answer. It's pretty clear you wanted validation of your view, and now seem surprised when you haven't got it

Yes, because cost is comparable to other discretionary spend situations. It's called living in the real world. I'm not being manipulated. I think it's a fair price for a single visit. I treat it as a single visit price. How can there be smoke and mirrors when it's entirely transparent on what...

So now you resort to insulting the museum. It's one of the leading museums in London. You keep ignoring the fact it's comparable to similar tourist attractions in London. It's priced similar to single visit tickets elsewhere. It sounds like you regret not going, thought you'd post a question...

Don't go to London then if you think 25 quid is far too much for a tourist attraction, as that's normal price for similar. 1712034582 No, they need to optimise revenue to balance visitor numbers and total revenue. They don't need to maximise visitor numbers 1712035086 The entry price for a lot...

Play a bit of recorded audio 1711987934 Appealling to the public sympathy vote

Have you even read this thread? It's referring to a entry ticket priced similar to an equivalent tourist attraction for single entry. The OP has avoided answering whether they would have gone in were it labelled as single entry for the same price. In this instance where it seems the individual...
