المشاركة في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
'One Engine in Steam' was usually described in the Regulations as "one engine, or two engines coupled together". To that extent, the later term of "One Train Working" had more validity perhaps. The other point to consider is not to confuse the...

From previous examinations of various potential schemes for PE, three issues come to mind:- 1. In the absence of any specific details (yet), IMHO it is not an unreasonable assumption that - in order to maximise the length of train that can...

Very unlikely - if a bus went down that dead-end road I'm not sure where it would turn around to come back. Anyway, to satisfy the local objections, the whole aim will be to discourage people from using PE as a destination/embarkation point....

Well, that's a new way of looking at it :-):-)

AFAIK the application is still in draft form, so I doubt anyone on here knows what it contains. One would hope however that those involved with its drafting have learnt from the past mistakes and will make renewed efforts to get it as...

The 'problem' - if there really is one - with any current PE extension proposal is that quite clearly it will be a terminus rather than a through station (halt) for such time until the L&BR can acquire the 'missing' sections of trackbed in order...

أعجب RailWest بمشاركة Old Kent Biker' في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Do bear in mind that PP was GRANTED in 2018 (see the archive, at https://www.lynton-rail.org.uk/story/planning-application-news for more details) to reinstate the line from Killington Lane to Parracombe as part of the project to continue to...

أعجب RailWest بمشاركة 35B' في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
On a detail, planning officers did not reject Cricket Field Lane. Councillors did, after careful consideration, on the basis that it didn’t follow policy and where objectors could demonstrate fundamental weaknesses in the proposal in front of...

As promised, the email subscription link to the B&YVRT Blog - https://yeovalleylines.blogspot.com - has now been added. The follow.it app we are using may prompt you to sign up for all sorts of things, but you can simply ignore all of that....

أعجب RailWest بمشاركة Miff' في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
All good stuff @pmh_74 I agree 100% I would also say do this hand in hand with B&YV Trust’s new strategy of rebuilding the track (but not operating trains, other than perhaps occasional open days) on the sections they own. This will prove the...

...or one of those 'entitled' folk who got very up-tight when I refused to let them ride across in front of my car...on the basis that they were trying to go the wrong-way past a No Entry sign :-)

I say this with more about how the L&B didn’t exactly suit itself well with locals the first go around: be it by a lack of proximity as was the case with Woody Bay or Lynton’s stations to the towns and villages they were supposed to serve, or...

A functioning railway to an (albeit truncated) terminus at PE will bring various benefits IMHO, not least a sense of long-overdue extension. At least then we will have a better base from which to plan an extension to Blackmoor rather than the...

Indeed :-( Do people never actually (a) read what has already been written on the subject so many times and (b) go and look at the area and appreciate the impractical nature of their suggestions (however well-meant they may be) ???

I'm puzzled - so how do you reckon that the original L&BR got it wrong please? After all, it closed down because the SR closed it, more to do with alleged low levels of traffic and high costs than 'problems with the neighbours' surely?
