I bet the answer will be...."When they ready"

 

ainkiller:

 

I was told when I asked the question on another forum that it is getting there; the platform is having its final top surface laid, track down in the platform with another panel or two before the buffer stops are added, then its onto fencing, inspections etc.

Sometime later on this year was the estimate.

 

thank you for your kind reply:rapture:

I see that the extension has been opened today, exactly 50 years since the line closed - some photos at Railway Photography: Plym Valley Railway extension and station reopening 30th December 2012 (not mine).

I'm sure that this will make a big difference to the railway as it now actually goes somewhere.

 

It was heartening to see the crowds at the PVR on Sunday. A lot of local interest was apparent, not just hardened gricers!

 

Is Plym Bridge the absolute limit of the line? Their website doesn't talk of any further ambition, although I thought when the project started in the 1980s the long-term intent was for a longer line. Is the trackbed cycleway preventing any further expansion?

 

Hmm, last post was 2013. . . so obviously not the most talked about heritage railway. Time to revive the thread (although I do have an ulterior motive )

While updating my Events Diary, I was reminded that the photos I use on the http://www.heritage-railways.com/plym.php webpage are very out of date (I'm pretty sure they've finished that new platform by now. ) So . . . does anyone have a couple of suitable photos that they would allow me to use on that webpage?

(and yes I did try their website contact page and email but no response received )
