I suspect some sort of system error. I found this on live departures:

Just found this piece of infomation.  It seems that DCR  or rather its parents company has been granted a licence. This should be a step in the right direction

Thanks for quoting your source for that information, anthony215.

They haven't been granted a licence yet.   Undecided  They will be if no-one objects over the 28 day consultation...

I believe CfN has been busy tidying up some disparate threads that were discussing the same thing.

So no, you are not going crazy, relex.

Well, no more than usual.  Tongue Grin

Thread merging indeed.  Embarrassed

I'm trying to improve the 'ease of reference' of some areas of this forum, by merging topics which generally cover the same subject - but which have cropped up over the past three years on different boards - and with headings which sometimes don't necessarily give much of a clue as to their subject!

There may be some more 'fine tuning' to be done, though, as sometimes we do see posts start to go a little off-topic!  Roll Eyes

Over on WNXX (Stored Unserviceable, Mainline Locos HQ All Classes), someone has just reported a press release that he's received indicating that BARS, the parent of DCR, have just bought the assets of spot hire company Hanson Traction.

Various 31s and 56s as far as I can see. Possibilities for the Okehampton Exeter service perhaps?   Roll Eyes

A couple of years ago, FGW (First Great Western) made all the Yeoford stops compulsory, it anticipation of a service between Yeoford and Okehampton.

From this December Yeoford reverts to request stop only.

So does the sad demise of the Wrexham & Shropshire Railway effectively scupper hopes for an Open Access service from Okehampton? I would be very surprised if their plans for a service beyond Exeter get the go-ahead and it also raises serious doubts re the viability of a subsidy-less operation between Oke and Exeter stations.
