Thanks you Les for your best wishes. I will endeavour to keep the forum informed of our progress (and no doubt our frustrations).

Phillip - yes the line will go through Fangfoss but we do not propose to re-open the station as there will be very limited demand in the immediate area and we want to keep journey time to a minimum between the more important stations. Do you live in the area or know anyone in that area? If so I hope you can come to the meeting or infrom people you might know locally.

I am probably off air until Friday now (away on business) so if anyone posts to this thread I will respond then.

I only know the area because I once stayed at the caravan site that occupies the former station site. The old station is a listed building and is now the caravan site office.

That was about 4 years ago, and I noticed the old station in Pocklington when we cycled over that way.

May i wish you and all like minded people the very best of luck, at least you are getting a hearing, so there's cause for optimism.
