    Apologies if this has been covered before - couldn't find a relevant thread though.

    Which GB heritage lines share all or part of their route with a cyclepath (whether sustrans or not)?

    Many thanks in advance.

    [This query is linked to a possible scheme outwith GB.]

    There is a cycle path where the old CKP line is from Keswick to Penrith I think

    what have you in mind Felix? CB&PR ?

    I'd be very interested in a scheme starting from scratch on a voluntary basis.

    I worked on the AVR for 25 years and the cycle way was a blessing - takings were pushed up in the station buffet at Bitton...from cycle way users who fancied food or a cuppa.

    I inquired on behalf of Peter Amey who's looking at the Kilorglin to Cahersiveen line, but there are plans for a possible cycle path.

    Maybe when I'm back after 10 September we should try and have a meeting of all south-west based people to look at what's available, who's available, and where's available!?
    I can pm the names on here that could be interested?
