The West Somerset issues shares; 10 pence each. It is basically a donation as 99.9999% of coampanies which issue shares will never pay a dividend and they are not listed anywhere as far as I can see (squints at the Financial Times). If it [the WSR] goes bust I will probabley end up getting 0.01pence or a chair from a sleeper as my contribution! HOWEVER, there is one exception which I think is the Paignton and Dartmouth SR or whatever it is called these days. This does pay a divi, as the company owns other bitsnpieces as well such as cruise ships and the like. <br /> <br />The Railtour company will ask an operator with a licence (usually EWS) to, in effect bid for a slot. The price will be agreed for TA, locomotive and stock hire and the like and then passed on to the punter. <br /> <br />There are regular slots in the tt for pullman trains etc. However charters are usually STP (Short Term Planning) and coded "Z". I do not like them. However I understand why they run.
