H Cloutt liked Tobbes's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
You'll find the summary on page 72, Harold. It reads: Recommendation Refuse for the following reasons: 1. The development proposed, by virtue of the scale, mass, relative level, alignment and position of the proposed halt is considered to harm...

It does seem strange. I haven't read all the document to find the reasons why the officer is making this recommendation. With the Reinstatement of the railway being in the local plan there ought to be a way that this application can be passed....

I suppose you could always pass trains via a siding, so long as you don't mind some propelling moves. OK, it would require someone to write a safety case and get it approved... but this method is used on the Brocken (HSB) so I don't see why not...

I think I read somewhere that the cost of the Station Building was covered by a legacy and that the Carriage Shed and Engine Shed were estimated at £200,00 each.

I think there was something near Junction Road on the documents submitted with the planning application - but things have probably changed since then.

Are you sure? I know of the Heritage Building fund, to help with the upkeep of existing KESR buildings, but my understanding was that the new builds at Robertsbridge are being funded by the RVR....

There is a fund raising exercise to rainse money for these buildings currently.

Something to look forward to when the RVR extension’s completed. K&ESR will also, for the first time ever since opening in 1900, have the option of services originating from Robertsbridge since it’s planned to have a new loco running-shed there...

H Cloutt liked MellishR's post in the thread Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway - a few pictures and video..
Ignoring the cost/benefit considerations and looking only at technical feasibility, you probably could squeeze in the railway formation beside the Royal Military Canal as far as where that ends.

H Cloutt liked Mark Thompson's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
If this has been answered elsewhere, please forgive, but I don't recall reading anywhere about passing facilities on the rebuilt line, and there would seem to be a great imbalance, with 3 loops at the eastern end, but (apparently) nothing west of...

H Cloutt liked Dan Hill's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
Latest issue of Steam Railway has turned up today and there's a nice feature on the extension. It says a passing loop is planned on or near the site of Salehurst Halt, but they need to do clearance to conduct a survey of where best to put it....

H Cloutt liked Fireline's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
You're missing the point. A decision was taken, at management level, not to provide the daily loco roster directly due to the actions of certain "enthusiasts" on finding that motive power had been substituted at short notice. We don't treat it...
