Pembroke Dock line

[allaction]

I wonder if there’s any interest in starting a new thread devoted to the Whitland - Pembroke Dock line, given recent developments on it, and the prospect of changes in the future.

Not only has it been cleared, pending minor work in two places, for the 800 series, and has seen the last passenger HST run on it, but Tenby station now has a water butt on it, and a mini-Alp of ballast was spotted today at Manorbier station.

Is extensive track relaying on the cards here?

When I was on the Pembroke Dock HST a couple of years back, there were suggestions then that an 80x may take out Tenby Viaduct!
