    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...

    So do I; it was embarrassing to be told that the reason it failed was all down to the ENPA, when in reality it was the trustees who hadn't carried out due process that was needed at the time. Which might sound 'Bloody obvious' now, but as a...

    Not exactly ‘steam’, but I’d add Crich to that list… if anything, being ‘trams’ makes it even more improbable. Simon

    I was automatically disqualifying Bressingham, as it has survived. I was referring to centres that didn't last. Sorry, should have made that clearer.

    @Jamessquared - to be fair to Colin, it seems to me the previous planning application failed because the L&B didn’t do exactly that. I hope they’ve learned the lesson.

    Thanks Mark. Perhaps we ought to call that type 4 sub-base (the black material) 'finishing sub-base' - as there is lots of traditional stone below that along with a sheet of Terram under that? Kind regards Mike Hart

  12. Miff liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    That would seem to imply two things:- 1. No weight is given to either (a) the proportion of support to object comments, nor (b) the (perceived) validity of any objections that are not about demonstrating something which is outwith planning...

    @RailWest - read the report and draw your own conclusions. 25 pages are given to detailing the responses, usually by professionals, on behalf of statutory consultee organisations. Only 5 pages summarising the public comments. That kind of...
