Thanks, devon_metro, for that local update! Wink

As a matter of interest, have they also updated the penalty from ^200 to ^1,000?

They'd plated it over I think with a new sign. Looked a bit odd. The sign essentially said the line is not a right of way to Broadsands beach. Located at the bottom of 'Waterside Caravan Park' off Dartmouth Rd. if you are ever interested in partaking in some 'sign spotting' Wink

The Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company (as it is currently called) does seem to have a bit of an identity crisis. I saw various signs referring the the line as:

With a bit of digging, I've found their legal name is still DART VALLEY RAILWAY PLC

This company also re-opened the South Devon Railway in the late 60s, until it was passed to the South Devon Railway Trust in the 90s

Skylarking just means "mucking about" doesn't it?
