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?

I must have missed this last time; the short answer is yes, it needs to. I was at Woody Bay the other weekend for the AGM, and I overheard the comment that the L&BR is the marmite project: you either love it or hate it.

The new relationship between the two trusts is very much still being developed, so I'm not sure how you can really understand yet how it might work, but regardless, as I've said before, no part of the project can buy anything unless and until the...

There are many potential different grants and awarding bodies for different aspects of heritage, the environment, economic regeneration, education and so on but hardly any will award a grant to purchase land. It might be possible to apply for...

Thought the priority was to build the railway between Woody Bay and Blackmoor Gate which has the facility for a large car park. Then there could be a shuttle bus to the Lynton Cliff railway for any day trip tourists who want to go the full route....

Thank you! Both old websites are out of date, with the EA one apparently still looking for shareholders and the YVT one saying the only 'Members' are the trustees. No doubt the new website will resolve this :)

The BYVRT is not encumbered by the issues created by multiple groups. The LBRT will have to address these legacy problems, and I think a period of focus upon that and running the Woody Bay railway undistracted by a desire to extend that the BYVRT...

One of the key points about forging some actual progress towards the end goal of a reinstatement of at least a good section of the railway is that it is impossible to please everyone all the time.

Yes, I concur; there is much to be discussed, and as far as I can make out, there are major differences between the groups. One is basically a membership group while the other is basically a shareholding group; each has an advantage over the...

One railway perhaps. One Trust, probably not yet a while.

I am glad we got this far. I expect to hear more details in the coming months. It's a bit early to say we are just one Trust, but I feel we are moving into that area with the L&BR Trust looking into governance issues; I think this has just taken...

I think the point is that the two organisations are at a point where they can do so. That is in and of itself a significant step forward compared with where they were not so long ago.

Well the people involved would have to write and submit a bid to the HRA for that to happen. Often though projects completed largely by contractors don't do well as volunteer ones unfortunately.

No grant awarding body would award money to the L&B (either group) so that they had money in the bank “just in case” a piece of land comes up for sale. Perhaps long term it doesn’t matter who buys what piece of land, but for the present the...
