    Thanks Dan. I have to say, I'm surprised to hear that, not only because there had never been any allusion to such a thing during planning, but also given the almost febrile stance taken by the burghers of Salehurst against the reinstatement. OK. Well. Things have obviously moved on since then.

    I do remember that, Harold, now you come to mention it, but it never really got any mention, and just looked like a reinstatement of the original siding.

    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 safety case and get it approved... but this method is used on the Brocken (HSB) so I don't see why not really! It would be a very Col. Stephens-esque solution.

    Thanks, good to see. But why not post this in the main Rother Valley Railway thread?

    That would seem more sensible - could admin more this over?

    You are better off using the report button as @Enterprise kindly did and drew my attention to this as we don’t read every single post and it’s possible we miss such requests.
    @Streetert As interesting as these posts are please use the dedicated RVR thread for them (where these posts now reside) rather than creating a new thread. It’s far better to keep all the RVR stuff there for everyone :)

    No problem at all - it was a FYI post explaining that’s the best way as it’s alerts the whole moderation team at the top of the forum.

    Mark. There are no plans to build a halt platform at Salehurst. Not least as under current regulations would require that to be built one carriage length longer than the normal longest five car train - and so the costs would be enormous. But, then perhaps one day.

    Hi Mike, it wasn't so much the building of a halt platform (which I'd always understood as a non starter) so much as this current rumour of a passing loop at Salehurst. Perhaps you can set the record straight?

    The passing loop has been planned to be immediately west of Junction Road. Timetable planning has a preference for that to be nearer Robertsbridge so several other potential options are being looked at. Nothing settled yet. Mike Hart

    2 updates today on the Robertsbridge main building, with the canopy formwork virtually complete platform side, and well advanced over the entrance:

    Just returned from a couple of pints at the George. Snapped this on the way in, with the entrance canopy formwork now almost complete:
