A £30m project to develop an historic former narrow gauge railway line in Exmoor national park has been unveiled (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7018960.stmThe Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Trust is hoping to extend the existing line by 14.4km. One mile of the line , which closed in 1935 , was recently reopened by the trust for historic trips. Funding bids will be put forward to the European Regional Development Fund , Heritage Funding. The trust also plans to build a park and ride facility to encourage people to leave their cars outside the national park and use the railway for travel to Lynton. It believes the project could return £70m within five years |
