  3. ghost liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Yes, but a local journalist can write what ever they choose to generate clicks, particularly if they decide actually reviewing the primary evidence sounds too much like hard work! In other words - given the original report or DevonLive as my...

  4. ghost liked Miff's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Whatever 'impression' Bradley Gerrard (Devonlive's journalist) wanted to give to readers his report did not state ENPA's reasons for refusing the application. I wonder if Bradley paid enough attention to the Officers' report or the committee...

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

    Do bear in mind that PP was GRANTED in 2018 (see the archive, at https://www.lynton-rail.org.uk/story/planning-application-news for more details) to reinstate the line from Killington Lane to Parracombe as part of the project to continue to...

  6. ghost liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    On a detail, planning officers did not reject Cricket Field Lane. Councillors did, after careful consideration, on the basis that it didn’t follow policy and where objectors could demonstrate fundamental weaknesses in the proposal in front of...

    Interesting. There is a persistent rumour that Gladstone’s chimney is a wooden replacement, but making an exhibit out of toast is a new one on me ;) Tom

  8. ghost liked Flying Phil's post in the thread Windcutter Wagons.

    Another first for the Windcutters! [ATTACH] This wagon went up to Leeds to have its wheel tyres "turned" to a correct profile. When it was unloaded I was told that it was actually shunted briefly onto NR rails so the first time a 16Ton Mineral...

  9. ghost odgovara u temi GWR four-cylinder arrangement?.

    If that is aimed at me, then I have no problem with discussion, I just happen to think that Mr Hermod should build a loco if he wants to experiment, rather than butchering historical locos.

    Save yourself some time - just remove all preserved locos from your dreams.

    They'll certainly be cooked afterwards!

  12. 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...

  13. ghost liked Mark Thompson's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    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...

  14. ghost liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    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) ???
