    Just quickly picking up in this part, the internal dimension of the carriages is 66 and one sixteenth inches. Although originally the seats were marked up, "To seat four", very rarely do we see the seats sitting four today. We do have the centre...

    It's a subject which is not really for here as it hasn't much to do with the L&B except for any arguements of pollution and it calls for long posts too exploring so many complex systems. In truth, when you compare the L&B against the massive...

    Damn, that's posh. Our bus drivers here have to get out of the cab and pull a little leaver to pull the ramp out manually.

    I suspect the idea of being able to get on a train at Pilton and take a much longer ride to Blackmoor to pick up road transport to the Calvert (rather than making their way from Wistlandpound) might have much greater appeal :) As for ramps,...

    A true re-creation of the Lynton and Barnstaple I believe will bring people from far and wide due to it's unique Victorianness, location, motive power and whatever the hard to define Exmoor vibe is. Every other railway I can think of has some...

  6. RailWest a răspuns la subiectul Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    To be fair, as I have mentioned previously, there was some discussion during the Phase 2A design about (a) the probable desirability of allowing for trains longer than 5 coaches and hence therefore (b) the need to have platforms of equivalent...

    I am going to give one exception to what I have put above. The Thorpe Park carriages served a purpose, and very well at Woody Bay, until the heritage carriages became available. Any extension, or new area such as Blackmoor, that becomes...

    I think the L&B could do well to stick to what it knows: we have well-established and authorised heritage underframe and bogie designs, so why not utilise those, and build lightweight modern-image or heritage-style aluminium/steel/fiberglass...

    >>>>The L&B hopefully have a plan, or be writing one but as we don't know.... Sadly a moot point, as with so much of the likely approach to the L&BR's future. There is the recent Business Strategy, but at the moment I can't recall if it went...
