Last year a businessman (I don't remember his name) has lauched the staunch project:yo: (and idea) to restaure the bleanau branch to Transwynidd sorry !the welsh language is more stranger to me than the martian one!!!) have this project stalled or dead?
Thanks for your replies dear chaps!

Sorry!

 

sorry it was not my intention to insult that very old celtic language(I'm living in Brittany the small one) and I have made effectively ,some errors (strange" and not "stranger "has "in place of "have" you know it is not easy sometimes, for a french to "command"(in any domain anyway:fish the english writing or speaking (ask to sarkozy!!)!easier to read it!!!!!!!!!!

ps
any information,knowledge about this "hot" project?

 

A bit quick to jump on someone who is obviously not British and did apologise for possibly spelling it wrongly.

 

Jeesh

 

Here's a website. The railway is but part of a grander scheme for the lake and area. CLICK HERE

 

Total apology for over reacting this morning. I'm very touchy on the subject of the Welsh language.

English is not my mother tongue either and I'm so ashamed of gratuitously insulting your command of the language, sorry.

 

It doesn't matter! the love of railways is an universal language!:clap2:

 

That is a very gracious response. I've deleted my original post.

Merci. Diolch. Thanks.

 

If only all Nat Pres disagreements could be resolved so simply and amicably!
Merci beaucoup & Diolch yn fawr

 

^^^^^^ My thoughts exactly! Perhaps a few of our Little Englanders could take note of this outbreak of entente cordiale

 

That's because it's a subject that only mature adults can appreciate.

If the subject had been "What colour should xxxxxx be painted?" then of course the kindergarten would have piled in...:rant:

 

According to the latest FR mag, the businessman's hopes of restoring the Trawsfynydd branch are still very much in tact. We'll see I suppose...

 

The latest madcap scheme...

Also... Mr Cunnington added: “Colin’s plans initially are to run from the lake to Llan Ffestiniog and that would link in with our plans.

“He tells us the cafe is due to open this week but he accepts the railway project is not in a viable form yet.”

No kidding! He's presumably realised then that he cant run into Blaenau, and a line from nowhere to nowhere is hardly a great business proposition.

I've always wanted a go on a 'Velorail' - popular on the continent but unheard of here. I wonder if the HSE would allow it?

Reminds me of hiring a rowing boat at Stratford one. We upgraded (lazy students) and got one with a little outboard on the back. I wonder if for a bit more you could hire a Wickham

 

And presumably he will then carry on to Bala with a submarine shuttle through the reservoir.

Bob.

 

A yellow one presumably? :hippie:

 

Velorails are hell fire..I shall definitely go and have a go or two if his plans suceed.

 

How do you go about passing then? is it 'one engine in steam' principle!!
