jnc liked Mark Thompson's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
The only appreciable embankments will be the approaches either side of the A21 crossing.

jnc liked Breva's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
They're running along an old sea bed - hence all the cross drains - so there is very little embankment to build, and no cuttings to use.

jnc liked Fireline's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
The intention is that it will be first used in 2028. I suspect that the track will be complete before then. However, there's fencing, wiring, tree planting, crew training, route proving and a whole host of imponderables to be dealt with before...

So sorry, after 23 years (1974 - 1997) on the railways, the standard abbreviations are second nature. One forgets that others do not have that background.

Julian Jones liked meeee's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.
It doesn't look like it I'm afraid. I think the group are still fitting the upgraded spark arrestor and different grate that works better with the current anthracite based fuel.

Thanks, Fireline. I had half expected that; I think many people see the track going down and expect you to start using it, but of course you have all the paperwork to be done before that happens.
