    My experiences were limited to several rides in one owned by a friend but they were never something that I enjoyed. it was a question of accept the lift or not go to whatever it was we were going to. I still have memories of going down the A1...

    Don't diss Reliant Robins - speaking from actual experience (I owned one for a couple of years), they are a much better vehicle than popular culture would have you believe. Handling is actually fine once you get used to the feeling of it, I...

    Oh no, the blog pages are down, and I am getting withdrawal symptoms already :Nurse: . Still, the guy behind them needs a break just as much as the rest of us, so enjoy the bank holiday, and I look forward to the update as and when it appears....

    And, given the history of L&B planning and the objectors, I suspect ENPA will be acutely aware of the need to ensure the process is conducted in scrupulous compliance with the rules. I suspect that will render the opinion poll aspect of the...

    To be honest I wouldn't worry too much about those sorts of objections. The planners will read them, but the decision will be based on what the application says, not what someone believes it says when they apply conspiracy theories and read...

    And here is the promised track laying visual summary: Section 5c Overview - 6 Aug 26 The plain images (in addition to the several pan- and zoom-able images) are worth enlarging; lots of interesting details to be seen there (e.g. stacked...

    I have clearly missed my cue by a couple of days but regarding that road and rail interaction... Every Concorde produced in Bristol ( Brabazon Hangars) had to negotiate the Filton to Hallen railway level crossing to reach the runway in...

    It is good to get the regular updates and see the steady progress of this project - Well Done to all involved.

    I think Fireline’s post shows it’s rather more than the paperwork. There’s also ballasting & tamping of the whole line. Installing & commissioning the signalling (both rail and road) for 3 level crossings, plus a passing loop and a terminus...

    Thanks, Fireline. I had half expected that; I think many people see the track going down and expect you to start using it, but of course you have all the paperwork to be done before that happens.

  14. lynbarn liked Fireline's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

    The intention is that it will be first used in 2028. I suspect that the track will be complete before then. However, there's fencing, wiring, tree planting, crew training, route proving and a whole host of imponderables to be dealt with before...

    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?
