Here we go again. There seem to be people on this thread keen to dismiss Mallard’s record. A pointless exercise IMO. They’re never going to convince the Gresley faithful and I doubt the NRM will be removing the commemorative plaque any time soon....

I think the plan is to work with the local authorities and people to work out what the best fit and solution would be having first demonstrated need and net benefit.

Access and parking is the critical issue, and your assessment is spot on. Those out of town locations are fine for very occasional use, but not so good for an operational railway.

21B liked Duty Druid's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
A quiet day atop the hill yesterday both in terms of the weather and those who gathered! Truth be told, we're eking out things at the mo. yes we need to sort the workshop PMV out, BUT, you can't paint outside in the current conditions, as you'll...

21B liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Perhaps staging collisions is an NYMR attempt to provide something different and bring in the crowds. It would be a USP as I don't think any other railway does it. ;);)

21B liked cymroglan's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
The introduction of the Sprinter Dmu to operations had caught my eye and spurred me on to organise a half term trip to the Mid Hants with some of my grandchildren. We had such a fantastic time that a return visit was organised for the next day...

The only way to address this is by demonstrating how essential and useful the railway is to the local people and economy, and how there is a net positive impact for the environment. I am afraid that we can suggest as many different iterations of...

That’s your opinion and it is different to mine. The only way we will know is if an application is made and determined. But, I think you’re not reading the room. The stance of the ENPA and local residents is clear. A refusal would be a logical...

I agree. The first problem I think with Parracombe is that those most affected do not want to be a destination. That I think given the local infrastructure is a valid concern and a valid objection that could well pose a significant issue to...

They were, but they were National Park conditions focused specifically on the risk of disruptive work taking place and then being abandoned partway through - protecting both the interests of villagers whose land was being crossed and the village...
