    They'll certainly be cooked afterwards!

  2. ghost liked pmh_74's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Given that (a) the ENPA previously gave permission to rebuild the L&B through said landowner's land (if they could buy it), and (b) the current thinking seems to be to ignore that bit and stick to the bit they own, which doesn't affect said...

    Time can be, and is, a great changer. And with the L&BRly we're talking in increments of a century. What I'm trying to say is that just because something is how it is now, it will not remain so indefinitely. But sometimes, one does need infinite...

    Indeed :-( Do people never actually (a) read what has already been written on the subject so many times and (b) go and look at the area and appreciate the impractical nature of their suggestions (however well-meant they may be) ???

    It was a suggestion from @DcB for a solution to the Parracombe situation.

    I've just renewed my membership on line and it tells me my card will be sent within 2 weeks. However, @Sidmouth4me of this forum is now the membership secretary and I believe is on the case. It would be good if he could tell us how the membership...

    Sorry, but I can’t see how the railway is guaranteed anything-you have no obligation to buy anything from the railway and the railway cannot depend on you buying anything. Or the membership process is a mess…

    With respect, that’s not really evidence. We all know about one particular landowner, but I don’t think it is possible to assume that they are influencing others without some actual evidence of it happening. Moving the railway offline in the...

    Could you provide evidence for this claim please?

    Near on impossible I’d imagine. Reinstating something that was already there is an entirely different prospect to building a something new, especially when it’s in the national park.

    Which doesn't actually answer my question at all ! Why does it need to ? And what has Marmite got to do with the manner of obtaining track-bed?

  13. ghost liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    The new relationship between the two trusts is very much still being developed, so I'm not sure how you can really understand yet how it might work, but regardless, as I've said before, no part of the project can buy anything unless and until the...

    There are many potential different grants and awarding bodies for different aspects of heritage, the environment, economic regeneration, education and so on but hardly any will award a grant to purchase land. It might be possible to apply for...

    Not my photo, but Sharpthorn going home after the High Weald steam rally. Since the location of this photo is Fletching, it looks like a slightly circuitous route was chosen - it's certainly not on the shortest route back! I think it is the same...
