For this project to have a chance of progressing, whether Blackmoor to the reservoir or Killington Lane to Blackmoor, or elsewhere, but maybe some way of extending the railway, we need a change at the top, in my view, before this thing...

Tobbes, Apart from stepping back and taking a serious breather this should have been the next step from when the S73 was pulled and not to run headlong in to going to CFL just because someone had done a lot of the documentation for the S73 which...

Please explain your reasoning for this statement. Many 5-10 mile railways successfully operate with 4-5 coach trains. It would be foolish to destroy the charm of the L&B by having long modern trains pulled by locos with no relevance. Keep it...

The problem is as I've said before, there are so many options, so many bits now acquired, there are also so many opinions and wants....and then we have so many challenges and difficulties right along the line from Barnstaple to Lynton. For what...

I was sort of wondering similar, not "Why do we need another" but more, "Is it actually possible?" Just because we really want something to be so, doesn't mean it is. There's been lots of on the face of it sage posts saying a business plan is...

I think that no discussion is fruitful or likely to be until the questions I posed earlier are answered. Which I can condense to one question: Why do we need to build another heritage railway? It isn’t enough (by a long way) for the answer to...

Also - how does this model fit with Gift Aid? Wasn’t GA supposed to be the financial saviour? I can’t see how you can essentially outsource tickets to a third party but also reclaim GA on a discounted fare? Tom

The problem with offering regular discounts such as this, is that potential passengers will expect them to be offered every time they purchase a ticket, and may cause them to defer purchasing at the full price in the expectation of another...

All of which may be true, but the strategic vision comes first, and then the business plan - of which the fundraising strategy is an important part - sets out how that strategic vision can be made real. There may or may not be the right people...

Absolutely. It also might be worth considering "do we need, or is it realistic to reinstate the whole line?" (I know this will be heresy to some people). Would a reasonable run of X miles be sufficient, bearing in mind volunteer numbers, finance...

I agree Colin but hope you are taking some of your on advice onboard, no offence intended, but you are one of the worst offenders in thinking way ahead of what is needed now. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be considered at all but it’s about...

Which is true - and why it's necessary to decide what the project is trying to do before trying to say how it will be done.

Perhaps before we build a longer railway we should decide what livery the interior of the toilet cubicles should be? If we want a longer line we have to focus on what matters in the right order and proportion.

Just a note on toilets onboard trains. Ffestiniog do have toilets on certain trains with service cars, notably The Woodland Wanderer does not, and they advise that toilets are available at the layover at Tan-y-Bwlch. Other services where...
