@Mark Thompson trust certainly is at a premium, but with goodwill and openness to other's views, we'll get there. I'm not especially concerned with people refusing to play - if they choose not to work harmoniusly with everyone, then that's on...

Well said, Tobbes. There is an irresistible change of gravity taking place, and that is in a southward direction. Parracombe is a running sore, and the sooner it is left alone to begin healing, the better. The only way to win is for the "family"...

Exactly right, @35B . On chairing, I was really impressed with the way in which Mike Whittaker chaired the contentious meeting last year, and I'm sure that one of the railway vicars could serve equally well. I should be clear that I've not asked...

In business, a planning application is merely 'what can we do at this place which will produce a profit?' 10houses? 20 houses? and the business will usually have enough people who have gone through the process before that they now what to expect....

I don’t think enough recognition is given to the presentation of the coaches by Belmond, they are sometimes out several days of the week but always reappear in spotless condition

WSR was running normally yesterday, one steam and one diesel. No suggestion of substitution on agenda and a couple of burnt patches visible (none large that I saw).

No, let's not spend money on ACAS - even if they're willing to support. A neutral chair simply needs to be someone who is willing and able, and trusted to be such, to conduct one of more meetings involving those of various views, and help them...

35B liked Meatman's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
obviously the best simple option is to join Killington Lane to Blackmoor via an underground link with a nice glass tube bridge where Parracombe bank was,add some interest by using ex GPO underground rolling stock for the metro section and...

Which, for the avoidance of doubt, they absolutely did not. At no point did the lawyer intervene, and even the most favourable member of the committee felt unable to do more than abstain - while at least one other indicated clear support in...

35B liked James Hewett's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
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...

As much to the point, ENPA weren’t playing cards. The approach was studiously neutral and extremely legally tight. Insofar as anyone was card playing, it was the objectors - and their hands were hardly a shock. Going forward, I’d suggest...

35B liked ghost's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Bala was a bit different though, their refusal was related to waste water treatment capacity and how the planners had calculated the needs of the extension. In the case of the L&B, to put it bluntly the planners are saying that the CFL extension...

Agreed. I really do hope that we are not going to be presented with a “Son Of CFL” proposal as the way forward.

Dave, in all fairness to ENPA, their inspectors report made clear what "cards they were going to play". The point RailWest is making is, knowing that in advance, why did not the Trust pull the application before having to drag everyone through a...
