As ever, here is a permanent link (i.e. the link in this post should continue to work, even after further posts to the RVRailway News blog have been made) to the Charwelton item. It only takes a few seconds (depending on one's computer and...

Ooh I say! Get to know the characters in the landscape before you make pronouncements like that.

Pardon? Have we met? There's all the difference in the world between the Miles led Trust's mismanagement and attempts to obfuscate inconvenient facts, and then trying to install a governance process more suited to Pyongyang than Parracombe, and...

Look, there are lots of sections that are complicated for different reasons. I don't see how it helps to say 'this bit looks complicated' on the internet - I suspect that Mike and Co already know that! If you want to help, the practical routes...

The railway can only obtain trackbed when and where the current owners are willing to sell it! This can take many years, or even decades, of dialogue. The recently-purchased Scout Group land, for example, resulted from discussions that began in...

I agree, Bruce did say that no information was going to be released about what they are after, since they don't want a repeat of Parracombe. Personally, I thought it felt like a watershed weekend for the whole railway. Let's all be patient and...
