    I understand your thoughts, but there isn’t really a parallel to the Bluebell in anyway. It’s adding about 500m to the line I think. There is only one reason for the scheme. The members are desperate to have a longer running line. This is a longer running line (just). The previous scheme having collapsed there was/is an impatience to do something. This is something so that’s what they are doing. It adds almost nothing to the current operation, might not be capable of being built, obstructs any further expansion, destroys the existing historical trackbed and will cost almost £2M in the process.

    I would like to see a longer railway too, but very much doubt this is the right scheme.
