    I note your point. However, let us not overlook the fact that at WB (a) there are now structures and facilities which did not exist pre-1935 and (b) the station is a terminus (which is was not previously), albeit only 'temporarily' - however long...

    But it remains untested (and doubtful IMHO) whether the ENPA will give permission for that. A stretch of track that may take trains one day beyond the bridge and into a station at PE, but meanwhile nowhere for them to get off and nothing much...

    The LBRT needs to continue the great work at Woody Bay. Secure the heritage of the L&B and sort out OSHI. Achieving financial stability should be the main focus in my opinion for the next three to five years.

    Sorry, but I disagree. If you build up to, but not through, the Churchdown bridge (no other way to avoid impinging on the bungalow site), then the train is going to be terminating right behind Fairview . Nowhere for the passenegers to get off the...

    I think you will find that relinquishing the site of KL station is not so much a result of any agreement with the landowner, but as a condition of the original planning permission from the ENPA.

    To be frank, the only realistic reason to have a Halt at CFL would be if we could not get to PE - period. But then we would have to solve the problem of stopping a train on a steep gradient 'cos we can't raise the trackbed at CFL (been there,...

    As I see it, there are two major problems with that approach:- 1. There will be a length of track and a putative Halt that may stand idle for goodness knows how long, meanwhile needing regular maintenance that will divert resources from...

    My wife generally would not know the difference between 'genuine historical' and some modern pastiche. Her main concern would be that (a) it would not be too long before we moved on somewhere else 'more interesting' ! and (b) that everything was...
