How long do you think it will be before the Cotswold Line Promotion Group updates it's website with this news? The biggest announcement about the line in years, and not even an acknowledgment of it yet.

While I agree it is odd there is no mention yet, maybe they are just being cautious. Officially, the whole thing won't actually be signed off by the ORR^» until October, so there is still a tiny element of doubt there.

Re the petition, it was mentioned and linked to from a news item on the site for several months.

And without the CLPG^» 's efforts in the early 1980s, we might not have had a railway at all...

Well if FGW^▸ issued a press release, then I would say it's fairly official.
