Planning Committees don't always take notice of Officer's recommendations. One of the Southwold applications was recommended for approval by the Officer, but still voted down, comprehensively, by the Committee. So I guess that MIGHT happen the...

There is definitely an appetite for an extension, not just among members and enthusiasts but visitors and tourists as well. Woody Bay has a charm about it which captures so many imaginations and I think nearly everyone, including the average...

I think we have to once again look at Bala Lake, at first a refusal, then once the issues addressed, an approval. We now know the cards the ENPA will play, to me that makes it far easier now.

They are exempt from mainline regulations as are the L&B. I post again for information... https://www.orr.gov.uk/guidance-compliance/rail/health-safety/laws/rogs/exclusions-mainline-railway-requirements...

I see a recreation as something rebuilt from scratch with absolutely nothing original remaining. But, others may see it differently.

I think with the heritage of Lynton, the National Park and the story behind the railway, which is unlike many other railways in as much as this railway was designed and built for tourists, then even if we new build, they should have an L&B look...

As with any in service vehicle it will succumb to wear and tear. The only way you can keep veteran stock and even Spitfires without at some point having overhauls and repairs is to keep it unused in a museum like the carriage in the NRM. And even...

I think what this has all taught us is despite what various members and others may want, the over-riding benchmark is the Local Plan and what is allowed by the authorities. Being as that policy has now been highlighted as king, that's where we...

DaveE a plăcut postul lui Miff în subiectul Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
It should be remembered (and this was clear both from the Officer’s report, and the Members’ discussion) the ENPA based their decision almost entirely on the planning criteria in the Exmoor Local Plan. Not on anything else objectors may have...

Further in this regard, I'd suggest anybody wondering just how much you might have to 'muck about' with an existing trackbed to run larger tourist trains on it would be well advised to find a copy of Gordon Rushton's Welsh Highland Railway...

Not really. What you’re describing is just a slightly modified version of “Colin’s collection”. The ENPA have made it very clear that they are looking for a recreation of the railway as it was, not random stuff from around the world with...

But @DaveE and the carriage group are already rebuilding the original carriages-how much more of a bond can you get? Please also explain what you mean by “the railway’s manufacturing heritage” - the railway was not a manufacturer, it bought its...

We can legitimately trace back our carriages to Bristol Wagon & Carriage Works, and also through 17 to Shapland & Petter in Barnstaple and also Pilton Yard. All directly and absolutely track back to the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. I don't give...

Sorry Colin, but are you seriously suggesting that the solution to “not having any original rolling stock” is to bring in rolling stock from elsewhere with absolutely no connection to the L&B? That sounds like you’re trying to find a way to...
