Title: Hayling Seaside Railway Post by: grahame on July 11, 2014, 06:41:52 Another heritage railway that doesn't seem totally wanted by its neighbours
http://www.haylingtoday.co.uk/news/business/fierce-opposition-to-plans-for-new-hayling-island-railway-depot-1-6171222 Quote TRADERS and residents have launched a campaign to stop a railway depot being built on the seafront. The Save Our Seafront (SOS) campaign has been set up by people who object to a planning application for a new Hayling Seaside Railway depot at Eastoke. ^We would love to know the facts, such as how much tourism does the railway bring to the island? How essential to the economy is it? No one seems to really know.^ ^It is staggering to believe that such a massive change to Hayling Island seafront could be approved without any research^ Reminds me of the recent issues at Helston http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=583.msg157052#msg157052 This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
