  12. silversteellady liked Rail Ranger's post in the thread The Dinting Railway Centre.

    Two factors in the demise of Dinting were BR wanting a fortune to retain the main line connection (which they in fact took out when Dinting couldn't afford the increased fee) and the very real fear that the Manchester-Glossop/Hadfield line would...
