Or more wildly, perhaps they could fund the trackwork and infrastructure and ask the society to run the services, similarly as the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway runs schools trains.
I can' see it ever getting off the ground however, its just platitudes to the green lobby.....  |
that sounds like I imagined it to be...its dead easy to look at a map and say lets put that back isnt it...reality is different to the map...have a look here to see a map-cap project that is actually going ahead and costing MILLIONS of euro...
