acorb liked RailWest's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
I note that he was charged with polluting the river. There was also much mention of the blockage of the road. Yet I can see little if any mention of damage to, and blockage of, the railway.

Clear evening skies tempted me out for this main line rarity; shadows lengthen south of Crewe as D1015 cruises downhill towards Stafford at Mill Meece. A chainsaw would be useful here too, sadly no toot ! I notice D1015 has gained a lamp since...

My reply was more directed to @garth manor and his comments that the measures are anti tourist and reflect a majority view. These measures are needed to redress a balance that has got out of hand and risks destroying local communities if left...
