Kirley Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Steam railway museum in £2.5m boost The new rail attraction will be based in Whitehead in County Antrim. Millions of pounds is to be spent turning a steam engine depot at Whitehead, County Antrim, into a tourist attraction. The depot is currently used by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland (RSPI) to carry out work on their 10 locomotives. RSPI plan to create an interactive museum and said it will become an essential stop on the tourist trail. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-21824130 Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Dunno why so many newspaper articles manage to describe the RPSI as the RSPI! Quote
Tarabuses Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Dunno why so many newspaper articles manage to describe the RPSI as the RSPI! Even worse when they alternate between RPSI and RSPI in the same article Quote
Broithe Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I've pointed out the errors to them - they're usually fairly quick to correct, but they might have gone home now.. I correct two/three things a week on there, most aren't too serious, but the odd one has been well worth correcting. Let's see what happens.. At least it's not PRSI..?

Broithe Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Corrected already - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-21824130 . Who do I send the invoice to? Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 No excuse for it... shoddy sub-editing! Or bad copy readers Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Same job! All changed now since I served my time in the local rag Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Websites rarely if ever have subs. I know they skimped on them in my old place much to my dislike. Mind you they skimped on pretty much everything! Quote
Garfield Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 True, Fran... but it's the BBC. The guys filing the stories aren't the same one clicking 'publish'. Anyway, we're getting off topic here... fantastic news for the RPSI. Looking forward to seeing work commencing! Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Excellent news indeed; irrespective of whether the RSPI, RPSI, PRSI or PSNI run the place! :-) Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 PSNI run the place! :-) Now that I'd love to see. =)) Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 The station building looks excellent when passing over the Kings bridge and its about time they got some recognition for the contribution they make to tourism. Quote
heirflick Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 whatever about the style of writing, its great news for the RPSI and good luck to them on the venture and with more trains running is good news for everyone:tumbsup: Quote
