This is good news, there is/was a lot of potential for Radstock in seeing this line re-open. Without appearing to do a hatchet job on anyone who has worked long and hard to see the line reopen I have to say that the biggest obstacle it faced previously was in fighting between various Egos involved with the project. If they could be put aside then the real issues such as the land required to mitigate the sharp drop into Radstock town centre and councillor opposition could be reasonably addressed. There is also the relationship/issue with Sustrans who bought the land cheap ( for a ^1 I believe but can not confirm ). They then laid their cycle path in such a way that further impeded any possibility of opening the train line. Given that the hard bit of interfacing with
NR» infrastructure is complete with Quarry traffic already using the line the possibilites remain likeley that it could open but probaably wont for the reasons listed (in very general terms I accept) above.
