    For a start i suspect there's plenty of scope to negotiate a more palatable price

    I come back to the point I made many years ago, and what is missing from the L&BR project is a voluntary accommodation base somewhere for about 20 to 30 people to be able to rest, relax and get to know each other over dinner and a beer. It could...

    From what I have seen on Facebook, they say it is too big for the RH&DR to use, which is a shame. Hindsight is a wonderful thing at times, but if that is the case, what other 15-inch gauge lines could it possibly run on without having the same...

    We visited the Launceston Steam Railway a couple of weeks ago and noticed that in their timetable - essentially they are a Sunday - Thursday operation. I suspect it is because for many local holiday lets, they run on a Friday - Friday or Saturday...

    I am sure there are several factors which influence the opening/closing dates of 'railway attractions' and I suspect you will never please everybody. For example, in pre-retirement days I never went anywhere on a Sunday, as Sunday...

    I agree the L&BR is a go-to location and not an on-the-way location, which I think makes all the difference. Also, tourist movements largely depend on the weather: in good weather, people visit the beaches; in not-so-good but changeable weather,...

    Which reinforces the challenge faced by the L&B (and also other remote railways) - they lack the local catchment for either volunteers or customers.

    Just looking online, the average tourist footfall for North Devon over the last five years has been around 5 million.

    There may be less residents but there are more tourists on holiday in North Devon. Take Woolacombe as an example, less than 1000 residents but in the summer it has ten times that amount staying in the area on holiday at any one time. That’s...

    It was up for sale about a year ago for £75,000 (advert now says £65,000) but I don't believe it's sold. The photos on the advert are apparently in the pway shed at New Romney.
