Here is our own "Plan B" for the TransWilts ...

http://www.savethetrain.org.uk/open.html

The big hidden costs are in admin, negotiation, time handling red tape, saftey, etc ... and you need maintainince depots or agreements and so on and so forth, spare stock strategy in terms of what to do in the event of a failure of planned maintainince.

Tempting, though, isn't it  Grin

Agreed...   I like your Plan-B better !
I think I need to change mine to Plan-Z.  And yes... it is somewhat tempting.   Wink
