Objectors steamed up over railway plans

I just wonder what the objector does for a living. It wouldn't surprise me if in such a rural area it was the railway who kept him in his job.

Quote:

One objector, who asked not to be named, said: “This is a very large project on what is now farm land above the railway track. The whole project has the distinct air of a ‘theme park’ in an inappropriate rural area with residents living very close by.

My favourite line has got to be the 'theme park'. How a heritage railway can be compared to a theme park is beyond me....

From the title, I thought it was another anti forum merger thread ;)

sounds like that objector has a valid point. To bring in that many additional cars would create traffic problems especially at weekends and building relief roads wont please anybody. I expect the planners will throw it out and insist it is scaled down; but they are a peculiar bunch - them town & country planners!!
