    There is only one answer - the length that provides the best balance between the numbers that can be attracted to it and the cost to maintain and operate. Longer does not equate necessarily to better, but shorter might not attract sufficient...

    Wise leaders will take a range of opinions into consideration, of which those on here will only be part. Let's see what the consultation brings, and how the Trust respond to it. I'm personally content that the question is quite narrow, because...

    That opens a different can of worms, which is that of "what is the optimum length of a heritage railway".

    I agree, but if I were staying in the area, I might well combine Woody Bay with either Lynton & Lynmouth, or one of the nearby-ish NT properties (yes, I am a member...), whether Heddon Mouth or a little further away Arlington Court. And if the...

    Very likely true, but that is a function of people and how they have chosen to operate, not organisations. EA/YVT are doing nothing that L&BRT couldn't have done; the decisions and choices are about how each have set their priorities.

    Quite. The entry at Heddon Hall | Devon Gardens Trust does not suggest a Wisley, or even a Rosemoor. The site at Heddon Hall is vastly smaller than Rosemoor, let alone Wisley. I'd also ask the question of what the L&B is for. If Heddon were...

    I think that that would be immediately rejected by the planners as it doesn’t fit with their policy for reinstatement of the original line. A new route would fall foul of several ENPA objectives I suspect. Just because LBRT find themselves in...
