I may be wrong, but I thought that the cladding had been largely completed a few years ago prior to the nearly-finished boiler having to have the...
I'm sure that's true, although I doubt any 'historic railway building' would be so constructed anyway. So costs (compared with a new...
I don't recall reading of it being re-re-tubed since the replacement tubeplate. Not saying it hasn't been, does anyone know?
I was going to say the same thing. Although none of that is more than you'd expect for a 75 year old machine which has been out in the rain for...
Sorry to drag this back several pages, only just catching up. I've no idea but could it be that the 3000 is counting members, and the 2163 is...
Well, of course it could be that TVR Volunteer doesn't know about it. For all we know, the developer of that site made a phone call to one...
There are better ways to educate the public about railways, and why they matter. My all-time favourite is at the Catalonian railway museum in...
I'm not belittling the locals' concerns about the poor road access at Parracombe, but based on a sample of one family visiting the area (mine), we...
As an idle thought, would an alternative be to seek a variation of the agreement with the former landowner, changing the deadline? I presume that...
With respect, the important words of the sentence summarising refusal are "conservation area" and "listed buildings", the "kitchen garden wall"...
How did I forget Swanage, which I actually have been to? I did think of that one, but as it's truncated at the Wallingford end I discounted it....

Don't the PDSR and WSR also tick that particular box? (Be kind if I'm wrong, I've never been to either. And yes I know they are both >5 miles long!)
You might be right, or you might not. The problem with your statement is that you're assuming that the objections have swayed the planning...
Where else could they go next? ;-)
Just catching up... whew! So, it seems likely that permission for CFL will be refused. If it is indeed on the grounds that this isn't reinstating...
I suppose you could always pass trains via a siding, so long as you don't mind some propelling moves. OK, it would require someone to write a...
As an organisation I can understand it, but they only needed to persuade one member with deep pockets that it presented a good business...
It was for sale not many years ago... and they didn't buy it. In fact, from what I could see from afar, they didn't so much as try to buy it (but...
They can declare what they like, but unless they're going to design future signalling & control systems in-house, sooner or later this will be all...
