The slip site is several miles from Edenbridge so i cant see how they couldn't run the service from Tonbridge. Looks more like operating convenience for GTR given the heavy traffic is the education traffic in/out of Tonbridge on weekdays which would need multiple buses but weekend traffic can be covered by one coach usually.Really well written news release and good video.
Does not running trains at the weekends enable them to do works not possible during the week days?

It's partly a matter of scale - with the quantity of stone now being required, it can become economic to set up discharge and handling facilities. The timescale is also now long enough to allow that.Proving wrong some of the naysayers earlier in the thread!

Yes, there were some pretty vehement denials that rail could, or would, be used, I seem to remember!Proving wrong some of the naysayers earlier in the thread!
