I just looked at your site to see what the progress was. It does look like you are moving forwards with a feasibility study and a visitor's centre. The feasibility study implies only a section of the line will be opened. Is this the whole plan, or intended as simply a first stage - with full opening at some point in the undefined future?

The initial plan is to complete the feasibility study which will release funds for the first stages of the line. As with any preservation project we have to take this in gradual steps and not overstretch ourselves, but we seem to have the overwhelming support of the local parish councils, who know that our project will be a boost to the area as a whole.
