    Still at Rolvenden when last seen. Not had a chance to get there lately.

    Thanks for the update @Fireline - any news of Gervase? 4253 Group did some work on it last year so I’m guessing it’s still at Rolvenden and might be a good candidate for any future Dwarves events.

    I believe that a gala or two are in the works. Dwarves of Steam was extremely popular - so much so it almost caught us out! The diesel gala was very well received. In other news, our staff gave 76017 a full clean last Saturday. We've been very...

    I don't think the L&B ever had a diesel locomotive, but it doesn't alter the fact that you have got one. It hasn't sopped the railway getting to the point it has. Planning law is about the built environment; a planning authority has neither the...

    Yes, I can't believe that closing Woody would be any kind of useful scenario - think of all the thousands of man-hours and the enormous investment there.....and its quite large visitor numbers (for its size) Nothing intrinsically wrong with two...

    All of this has been gone over at length over the past years. I will take issue with one statement here though and that is that there is a need to abandon Woody Bay. There is not. And even if a railway is built in the south, there will not be a...

    I'm delighted to see Exmoor Associates and YVT (soon to amalgamate as the Barnstaple & Yeo Valley Railway Trust – B&YVRT) have been thinking along similar lines. I suppose I should join! The following quotes are extracted from Trackbed Trails...

    With respect, IMHO there is some muddled thinking here. 1. Let us not forget that the 2018 application to go to PE was approved by ENPA. It failed primarily - if not solely - bacause the Trust could not comply with the Grampian conditions. 2....

    I am labouring under the impression that those who oppose the railway would only countenance Parracombe being a little-used halt on plain line. There doesn't seem to be the scope or space for a run-round. However, the opponents own the trackbed...

    Very unlikely - Suffolk landowners don't usually sell their land if they can avoid it.... However, we do now have a 30-year lease on the first half mile of trackbed from Blythburgh station westwards, which will certainly give us a good chunk to...

    I don't think that's an accurate assessment at all. Based on recent and less recent planning applications: - you can go south, if you own all the land. - you can't go south, if you want to build some monstrous* station infrastructure which was...

    Thanks - exactly our long-term plan in the Blyth Valley. Many question the point in putting down track where it cannot be used for some years - but the rails at Halesworth now not only look as if they were never taken up, but feature in the...

    Absolutely, Miff. If you have the assets, flaunt 'em, even if its just high days and holidays! And one thing about the line in the Yeo valley, there's plenty of assets, far too good not to show.

    There is another possible approach, as adopted by Rother Valley Railway and also on a smaller scale by the 2 Southwold Railway groups. Where land is owned and planning-permission easier to obtain (e.g. outside the National Park) build sections...

    Achievable goals they may be, but don't assume that they've all been sweetness and light. The RVR, remember, had to use CP powers to get past two unsupportive landowners (no slight on the landowners intended - that was their right), while the now...
