Not wishing to preempt anything, but with all the work being done at the passing loop and the Junction Road LC to be done next, will this section be connected, tested, inspected, etc., and be ready to be brought into use as early as 2027?

Thanks Noel, The next construction in the area you mention around Northbridge Street will be our earthworks contractor working across the C350m long field section between Northbridge Street crossing and A21. That comprising construction of an...

I guess one reason for the hopscotching is the need for temporary road-vehicle access to locations requiring major civil engineering works including several bridge, culvert & embankment sites. Track can then be laid on a section once road...

Oh, right; my memory is failing again. Your post a while back indicated that it was the Junction Road one that was (then) planned for November; my brain clearly swapped 'A21' for 'Junction Road' (probably because that would be in order, along the...

I would also suggest that reading some, if not all, of the comments would be worthwhile if you want to understand what is going on. I didn't know that this extension was part of HS2. Oh well, as my Grandma used to say, every day is a school day.

That’s true ( for motorbikes.;) ). And a motorway is where the road is wide enough to put a white line down the middle.

If the grass grows in the middle that's good, means a dual carriageway

I spent an interesting hour sampling the objections last night, as can anyone with access to ENPA's portal - and I'm sure the Trust are doing. Some were reasonable and reasoned, others a little less so - and that from both "pro" and "anti"...

Flipping heck! That road is wide by South Devon standards. In the South Hams where I holiday it’s common for the greenery on the Devon banks to touch both sides of the car. If you meet another vehicle it’s simply a case of one of you backing up...

It is a concern, when one reads some of the comments against the re-created railway, that those making the decisions might be swayed by what we, the supporter, might class as 'mindless boollocks'. 'I am very concerned that if the Flying Scotsman...

Indeed, getting a Ford Galaxy there was fun! It's a good job we went out of season. And to say my enthusiastic reaction to a concrete shed, in the garden of a modern bungalow, was not shared by anyone else in the car would be a severe...

Better by far to answer the question without picking up the objector’s argument directly. So, taking one that’s been seen here about parking at Parracombe, why not simply comment from personal experience how similar planning constraints have...

I agree with @35B - leave it to the railway and/or their planning consultants to refute objections, if necessary, in a professional manner. They will be watching, as anyone can, the incoming comments. Stating the reasons why the railway is a...

Which is why comments should focus on supporting or opposing the application, rather than debating the rights or wrongs of what someone on the other side has said. Evidence for a proposition is much more effective than argument or...
