Pen Mill

Reading the Tavistock re-opening thread it got me thinking about the PPM.
The Stourbridge PPMs have been around for a couple of years now so Im assuming that a serious evaluation has been done in this time.
Is this unit a viable option for short rail legs where the track still exists and is or could easily be Network Rail compliant ?
One local to me is the Yeovil Pen Mill to Yeovil Junction chord service(1 mile 62 chains) which was discontinued in the 1960s and replaced by a bus service which still runs Today. This is maintained as a diversionary route for both FGW and SWT needs.
Are there other routes which could lend themselves to this machine ?
