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.

Other restoration businesses specialising in “the conservation, repair and restoration” of heritage items, including “railway carriages in several gauges” are available! ;) Tom

Ummm, want to work on those ! Being what I think is teak, they should be fixable by a specialist. If can't get teak, then one of the Iroko type timbers should be a suitable substitute. mostly 'cos Cleminson running gear.

Without comment on any particular location, “getting people out” hasn’t been a particular problem at Woody Bay, so I don’t see why it has to be a major issue at the Barnstaple end. The railway would be selling primarily to tourists, not...

I stand corrected, I was sure that the plan was to get back to Pilton Yard

That is exactly what I was hinting at, and the topography around Barnstaple does not help either, which has sprawled outwards since 1935. Looking at the OS Map of the area, there is some land south of Snapper that, if available, could become a...

If by Hole Ground you mean what is now the Barnstaple Social Club, I would regard that as not to be touched, given the significant social needs of the area; the Pilton car park may also be quite challenging. But my thoughts are more that, as...

Pilton would be an ideal location for a car park - it already IS one!

I agree, since the holegroud project was undertaken, the last time I was there, the old offices have been taken over by a children's day centre, and somehow I can't see a useful community asset such as a children's day centre wanting to vacate...

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.

Barnstaple is a town; Pilton Yard is a short walk from the centre and the bus station - Barnstaple Junction is a lovely idea but misses the point. If starting out of town, then parking is the key issue. Having visited Snapper, Chelfham and...
