I don't convict people on the balance of probabilities and when I don't have enough information to call either way. And for that same reason is why if you look back on the thread I would not be drawn into the situation with Ann. Now, very busy...

No, it's not complicated. Lies are never good, and yes, resignation is perhaps one penalty. But to prove those lies with all the evidence available to be revised, needs a judge and jury body and with the authority to do so, someone such as the...

Not for me to say if its a resignation matter, I am not judge and jury. I don't know enough details or the evidence from all sides to say what is right or wrong, if there is wrong doing it's for the CC or similar to make that ruling, not me.

Re-read what I said please, I said "it may well be", speculative, as its been spoken about on here before. Possible reasons explored, they were not stated as fact. I also said we don't know the details. It was not an assertion, as I said, I don't...

But that's how it's coming across to a fair few now, regardless of what I think. How will it be resolved now? I haven't the foggiest tbh. Sounds like some form of mediation needed if anything.

I don't know the details of the board meetings, and tbh don't expect to, that's board level and not for me to know. The wrangling within the board should stay within the board in my view, and all we should hear about is the resolutions being...

I've quickly read the email this morning and one thing that strikes me is there are quite a few "it appears" within the email. Additionally much is made of the trackbed being bought separately to OSHI. If we were to take that approach of buying...

This is absolutely my view as well. We follow the heritage as much as we can. I come back again to when you visit Woody Bay and speak to people and there is a huge wow factor with those visitors. They love that they have been able to...

We can carry well over 100 passengers in a 4 as it is now. We have been over loos etc before in this thread.

I certainly don't see any commuter service, or shopper except maybe a Barnstaple Xmas Shopper as a special for locals. I have seen often on the Lynton News page that Lynton and Lynmouth carparks are full, there is no more room at the inn so to...

DaveE liked meeee's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
The Festiniog is currently 2 hours 20 minutes from book on to off shed with coaches. Then a further 45 minutes until scheduled departure from Porthmadog. Admittedly you could cut 20 minutes off this last bit but that time is handy if there is an...

DaveE liked Meatman's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Barnstaple is gridlocked mainly through the rush hour times as are many larger towns i expect. the usual other cause is sadly someone who feels so low they look at the bridge as the only way out, the majority of other times Barnstaple traffic...

It certainly is an interesting discussion. I don't think having a Park and Ride to Caffyns is going to be any benefit at all, Caffyns is still many miles from Lynton, the primary objective of the Park and Ride, and to alleviate the need for...

Good morning! Personally I think we have to put aside the timetables of pre-1935. The dynamics of the railway in as much as passengers is going to be quite different now due to higher mobility by car and road, plus the proposed Park and Ride at...

Apologies, Park and Ride. My mistake, should be P&R. I've edited my posts accordingly, Thank you!
