    Trivia: which settlement would be furthest from a rail service, if Bude loses that status?

    Yeah, I think Kielder is a village. It is pretty remote though.

    Work on Okehampton Line: progress updates

    An excellent update, thanks. I get that continuous welded rail is better than the more traditional (old) methods of jointing, but was wondering what sort of difference would that have on line speeds and what sort of time saving it would give between Oke and Exeter...

    What would the Ruabon to Barmouth line have been like if it was still open in 2018?

    I'm sure I saw somewhere on t'internet that the narrow gauge is extending into Bala town proper. That along with the town's services and lake would make a great destination/terminus for any Llangollen extension.

    What would the Ruabon to Barmouth line have been like if it was still open in 2018?

    I've been rumbled! Should've known just changing 'r' to 'ave' wouldn't be enough. :rolleyes:

    What would the Ruabon to Barmouth line have been like if it was still open in 2018?

    I know the Llangollen Railway made it to Corwen but is it feasible they'd ever restore more of the Ruabon - Barmouth line?
