    sustrans even bought the holm farm in llandogo as this was in an auction, sustrans came along and outbid them all,sold the farm and kept the trackbed,the owners brother of holm farm told me sustrans wont be pushing any bikes over my trackbed, sustrans reply was , we will divert around by the church, the next obsticle sustrans will face is the bigsweir estate and they dont want people around the fishing shed.so nothing will be going north of llandogo.NOT EVEN A PUSHBIKE. so sustrans own the strip of land thats worthless now

    the whole length of line from grange court to hereford via ross on wye has been fully documented and video footage taken all the way, then ross on wye to monmouth has also been video taped, then monmouth to chepstow has alson been video taped, i have about 10 hours of video footage including video footage of tunnels at tidenham,coppett hill,tintern,symonds yat,and of course the famous feasibility report done by eric rawlins, in 1987 chas hyde at chepstow said it was feasible to reapon the whole 48 miles for 22 million, i guess now its 50 million. but there is no interest in reopening these lines now as the pushbikes have destroyed all chances of that ever happening. the guy doing the narrow gauge reopening wont succeed either as sustrans just ignore every request i have ever made, they are a washout

    THIS IS INCORRECT If Sustrans are thinking of re-opening the tunnel for cyclists then it will be present quite a challenge. It is nearly 1200 yards long, unlined, curved and wet

    In fact there are five rows of blues and all in excellent condition, there is a small amount of fallen brick from the sides of the tunnel, i will upload the full video footage showing all the tunnel.
    the neighbours around the tunnel DONT want pushbikes and will oppose them all the way AND SO WILL I
    Sustrans have ignored every message i have sent, they are ignorant and because they have been GIVEN money they think they can push me around, i will have to get an act of parliment and then compulsary purchase tidenham tunnel

    I think Mr Wyevalleyrailway you should consider several things if you want people to take you seriously.
    You have deleted several posts and left this message, "deleted moved away to less biased site", this appears a childish "toys out of pram" moment. If you cannot take criticism and doubters then you really need to rethink the whole thing through.
    The lack of a name on the posts is also not conducive to confidence building.
    The presentation of your posts also does not inspire confidence, lack of capitalisation, poor spelling, poor and misplaced punctuation are just a few of the things that will deter possible investors, I counted 21 errors in the above paragraph.

    YOU SEEM TO LIKE USING CAPITAL LETTERS A LOT and might have benefited from using the spell check in some more recent posts. I thought you had thrown your rattle out of the pram some weeks ago and 'moved to a less biased forum'. Making sensible objections to a highly dubious scheme is not being biased, you need to have some other alternative proposition to support to be 'biased', ie in favour of something else. If anyone is 'pie in the sky' it must be you and were it not for the manic nature of your posts I would suspect you were a troll. I'm not going to bother posting any further to this thread as it is surely going to get nastier and I suggest others do the same.

    I love the Wye Valley line, and the other railways included in this scheme, I would love nothing more than being able to catch a train at Symonds Yat station or any of the others in the area ... but ...

    Just so I can budget my funds, am I going to be able to have a ride on this before or after that other long lost line in the Welsh borders whose name escapes me at the moment?
