    Sadly, that happened to me this year. I joined earlier this year with my wife. I never received a card or newsletter. I went over a few weeks ago to be told there were no longer any reduced price trips by virtue of that membership. I could either pay full price or join the new organisation. I was given a detailed, and frankly very boring, explanation, which with my limited intellect I couldn't follow. Sad, but it was good to see physical progress towards the splendid Cober viaduct. I wish them well.

    At the present time the railway appears in a chaotic state with confusion as to who belongs to which organisation and also who runs the place. Perhaps there will be a stand off between the warring parties on Lowertown viaduct!

    I do not know the history of this group, but I would suggest that may be that both chairmen and boards of directors/ Trustees need to sit down together and bring someone in to make a proposal, to take the project forward.
