The Link would make the whole line a JOint Operation simmilar to what is proposed by the GCRN & GCR which I would immagine bringing in extra renue for both PR & EVR and giving EVR some probaly much needed revenue to improve maintiance facilities etc.


Especialy with the ability to accept rail tours the project would bring in lots of torists as well the railway being a first ie..a new Heritage line / extwnsion created from scratch alotgh I belive from John HT that the land was prepaired quite some years ago but was never built nut yet me peronaly sees p[leanty of potential.
