We do run a standard service of between 4 and 6 coaches, depending on historic precedence to guesstimate numbers - which you can only do when people tend to turn up on spec in the last 30 minutes (as many do). The Rheidol tanks will take 7 full comfortable, giving us that flexibility and there...

From experience on the VOR, the beach does tend to draw people away on balmy days, but our busiest day is normally a Wednesday. Two perceived reason a) people naturally expect weekends to be busier b) people tend to start holidays on a Friday or Saturday and take time to settle in or assume point a)

ran today no problem!

The Vale or Rheidol history book by Peter Johnson is due out with Pen & Sword on 30th April. The fact that the book will be well stocked at the VOR shop is more than a coincidence.....

I totally agree and neither are we 'plagued' with 'biddies' wanting tea and gifts. I like tea and I occasionally buy gifts, it doesn't mean I have to change sex, add twenty years on my life and travel by coach to do so! There's a whole cross section of people who want to visit to experience the...

VOR is an hour's drive from Tywyn, nearly two from Porthmadog and nearly an hour from Welshpool. That's rather a large area that is 'saturated'...! :)

Currently, one line has been concreted in to the new shed and most of the infrastructure cladding has been undertaken. There has been a relaying of rails on the straight before Capel Bangor over winter and the old rails are being utilised for the shed. On completion, a larger booking...

It's on there now! The VOR are matching the price, just saying... ;)

Certainly from the perspective of the VOR, the Permaquip fits the bill. A mobile hut on wheels, providing mobility, access and storage, which is what the P-way team need, I would think.

The feasability study is specifically of the Aberystwyth to Carmarthen line, so we've gone a bit off track with the Dyfi bridge discussion, I suppose. By the way, the tunnel in the study was shorter and further out of town, joining the Cambrian line to the east of Llanbadarn, the study is...

Those who aren't aware should check out the front page of the Traws Link page http://trawslinkcymru.org.uk/traws-link-cymru/, which sets out its aims. It's bilingual in places, but don't worry, that content isn't full of anti English messages... probably because the make up of the area is quite...

Think you put your blind eye to the telescope, Horatio

I would agree if you based your model on 1965. However, I'm sure all the money will get thrown at Cardiff as it always does so don't worry about it

which is in England and is one hell of a slingshot if you are trying to get to Bangor or Holyhead. If you read through the thread you'll see that a few people have pointed out that the political rationale is more than just to link two small towns

Not with the trackbed mainly still in place. I understand where you are coming from, but HS2 withstanding, there seems no desire on any projects in the UK to do anything but utilise what has already been

Add the Waverley line to that and how Hawick has depopulated, whereas the towns on the reopened line have thrived

The Cambrian route has seen a reduction in running time by more modern practices and stock, so I disagree. The Carmarthen route was dogged by having 20 plus stations to serve in the past and slower, heavier stock. I disagree with zero chance, but it needs the political will and money - and its...

Well, there's never any certainty in anything here. You've got to unpick centuries of commerce moving east (north to Liverpool/Manchester, south towards Bristol/London), but if the infrastructure ain't there, it will never even begin to happen. Re: the dog-leg, maybe they could convert to a...

Maybe they are based in the South? Here's an opportunity to fill your boots.... ;)
