I am now getting a little bit fed up with the wait for the reply.
I think I am going to have to consider that letter bombardment If you are willing to take part and show that there is interest in such a project. Anyway let me know first and wait for me to give the go ahead. Phone calls would do as well but remember, wait for the signal.

We now have a huge task ahead of us.
What we are about to do is build a railway of 9 miles in length, and create something for future generations to remember the past. We forget of how these old lines were created: Pain, sweat, toil and tragedy all went into them, but now they lie dead. We need to honour these men who did this to create the world as we see it. From what I see there are some enthusiasts that are submissive. Someone needs to stand up and say what they believe. With numbers we are unstoppable and the dream will become reality. You may not think it, but each and every supporter counts, so why not you? If everyone says "let someone else do it" All that we love would not exist. As contact with the council continues, I for one will never give up whatever the outcome. Look at the poll. If you cannot help then thats fine. Won't help I will never understand. This railway and the friends of the B&MLR will honour and remember the pain and suffering even if no-one else will.

I'm not sure that they would come into this as it is cheshire east that owns the trackbed.
Worth a try though.

Again things are taking a step forward. We are now begining to plan in detail where things like sheds shall go and other structures.
At the next meeting we shall disscuss things like whether we should have a partnership with other railways so we gains support and greater publicity. We have 5 in mind to choose from but we are not giving any names as yet while our desicions are refined. We have decided that things like general meetings that anyone can attend will be in autumn and early winter at the earliest but to proceed we need the govenment to reply. I think we will contact stockport now.

Running steam trains and a foot/cycle path together can be done as can be seen from this photo from the gallery.
