Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

WE need a new idea. The old idea has not worked. ....
Ok , Here's new idea.....
We can't have that! Its NOTHING like the old idea

 

Sounds like the who

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, we won't get fooled again.

To be honest, Giles and Co are starting to make a few changes, but there is a long way to go yet.

 

While Rome wasn’t built in a day. They represent change, and have had limited authority to date. They deserve some space as they deal with the legacy they’ve been given

 

I, for one, look forward to the new team taking this project forward, and I hope I am still around when the extension is up and running. It has to be agreed that in the past, there has been a lot of disappointment. I feel the new team will need to try to address this as soon as possible, even if they only achieve something small. As they say, success breeds success.

I do get the impression that there is far more optimism about the railway now, which has to be a good thing.

There may be a lot more work to do behind the scenes that we don't know about to get this project into such a position, before progress can be made. As heritage railway projects go, I think I can say that this is the most frustrating one ever to exist.
