    Noted, thanks, and some useful stuff there as to the 'reasons why'.

    There is now a separate section in the FAQs - see https://byvrt.org.uk/faqs/ - for the Snapper Track Appeal. Your question is there. There is obviously a limit to what can be said right now, but I'll let you know when there is a FGA (Frequently...

    Don't forget that the L&BR Trust already has secured planning permission from BR to Wistlandpound, so the B&YVRT will only need to get PP as far north as WD. Quite what will be the 'coverage' of whatever new local authority body emerges by the...

    I am not sure, but I think in days gone by we had to deal with what was then the North Devon District Council. I would suspect that planning permission will be required between Barnstaple and Blackmoor.

    Excellent news. Couple of queries, if anyone knows: The membership scheme’s not yet on the website (or I couldn’t find it), will this be launched at a later date? Have the two Trusts agreed common p/way spec/design-standards?

    Wonderful, It will be a good exercise in infrastructure reconstruction and getting volunteers into the track laying swing of things, they will be able to perfect concrete post production too!.

    I would say an appeal for £150,000 and a project to relay half a mile of track at Snapper, plus the launch of the website, and an announcement of the membership scheme was all fairly big news. There was mention of a few very close pending...

    We were there on the 20th, and we had an absolutely lovely day. The drive over from Penrith was also epic, great road-we were lucky to have very favourable weather- gave the car the opportunity to sing the song of its people..... All the staff...

    The new Barnstaple & Yeo Valley Railway Trust website launched on Saturday, along with an appeal to raise £150,000 to relay 730 metres (half a mile) of track at Snapper Halt

    Also worth mentioning that the Home - Barnstaple & Yeo Valley Railway Trust website is now live, where you can read about the Snapper Track Appeal (if you don't want to watch the video).

    I didn't think the VofR owned Jubilee 1897. I thought the National Trust still owned it, or whoever owned it while it was at Towyn, and that it was only loaned to the guys who had plans to rebuild part of the Penthyn railway, but I could be wrong...

    Tut Tut Mr Dunn, Jubilee 1897 is not a Hunslet but a Manning & Wardle ;-)
