    To provide a summary, we are working on three wagons at Rothley, B560676 (Floor and fixed end etc), B573403 (floor etc replace), B590067 (formerly B279702) new floor etc. We hope to have all three completed this year. Meanwhile at Swithland,...

    I think there is a definite element of "shoot the messenger", it's not our fault the guidance doesn't address every statute... Guidance never trumps statute (except where the specific statute says it does, looking at you Bribery Act). Statute...

    I think you have also hit on a point which many within the L&BR family have yet to acknowledge, and that is the difference between the underlying argument of commercial development versus authenticity, which would not be new to anyone else who...

    Not very at the moment; I was only suggesting this as a long-term option. I was aware of Peter Rampton's efforts; as I got the impression from my correspondence with him that the figures just didn't add up to rebuilding the L&BR (maybe they still...

    @lynbarn - the Vale of Rheidol did that in a number of places, to prevent or remove forestry plantations spoiling the view. However this was only possible with the help of their incredibly rich benefactor (Peter 'X' Rampton - who was once...

    Oh dear, I was hoping not to reignite the OSI viability debate :)

    @RailWest - thanks for the correction about the farm within the national park. I agree with the Trust that it would be daft to close down the OSI, so long as the business remains viable (which is a completely different argument :) ).

    Two points here:- 1. Blackmoor station itself is outside of the ENPA area. However the Rowley Farm fuure depot site is firmly within the ENPA. The dividing line between the ENPA and NDC areas essentially is the (missing) road overbridge....

    My understanding is that we still have the planning outside of the park due to having rebuilt two bridges along the trackbed towards Westlandpound, but as for Blackmoor itself I don't think there are any current plans, so it will have to be a...

    Hi I was lucky enough to have visited Robertsbridge yesterday, managed a quick look around the level crossing site (outside the fence-line ) and then on to the station. So glad to have seen it all, in the flesh as it were, there is a lot going on...

    Nothing should be carved in stone but several years ago the L&B announced they'd bought Rowley Moor Farm, near Blackmoor Gate, with (quoting from their website) "land and buildings that are a vital site for the future sheds and engineering works...
