    No I do not currently volunteer
    No, it's not going to be a new heritage line :(, but if any heritage lines are interested in reusing the original rails, make yourselves known to the Portishead Rail Group or Network Rail. <BJ>

    ''Tree stumps and vegetation are being removed before the old rail can be taken up. Any rail that is still safe for use will be donated to heritage railways''.
