All good stuff @pmh_74 I agree 100% I would also say do this hand in hand with B&YV Trust’s new strategy of rebuilding the track (but not operating trains, other than perhaps occasional open days) on the sections they own. This will prove the...

Hundreds of railway stations were built some distance from the place they purported to serve. After all, whilst those 19th century citizens might have been eager for the potential benefits a railway might bring, they would hardly have wanted to...

I say this with more about how the L&B didn’t exactly suit itself well with locals the first go around: be it by a lack of proximity as was the case with Woody Bay or Lynton’s stations to the towns and villages they were supposed to serve, or...

A functioning railway to an (albeit truncated) terminus at PE will bring various benefits IMHO, not least a sense of long-overdue extension. At least then we will have a better base from which to plan an extension to Blackmoor rather than the...

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...

To be fair, this thread has been running since 2009, and has 818 pages, so it is perhaps a bit much to expect anyone to remember or read through all of it, and not everyone is within easy distance of the L&B to visit 'in the flesh' so to speak....

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) ???

I agree, at least in the sense that this doesn't need to be an "Us versus them" sort of situation. The important thing is that the land is the L&B owns the land into Parracombe, and can be a good presence within the community if/when trains get...

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

Why would we want to move it anyway? When we already own all the trackbed from Killington Lane around to the Parracombe halt site

Quite true, but...in the longer term with a reconstructed line southwards to, and through, PE then - not being part of the original trackbed - it will no longer be needed anyway.

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...

In short, No - The Local Plan safeguards the former route for the railway, it does not extend to a major deviation around the village. The Cricket Field Lane terminus extension failed because it was creating something new, rather than...

Could you provide evidence for this claim please?
