    What these people have done is probably the greatest railway contruction since the end of the age of steam. They should be proud of what many said was impossible to do and have made one of the greatest heritage railways in the U.K

      P.S and to those snobbish protestors you can just thank the railway for bringing more jobs and touristim to the area it now travels through

      I can understand the difficulty of having a farm split by the railway, but to claim that Snowdonia is in any way quiet with the RAF blasting around for all but the 6 weeks of school summer holidays is plain wrong.

      The Nimbys don't have Welsh accents, maybe second home owners? The track the railway lies on has always been railway property, the farms were already cut in half.

      All English though, at least the farmers in pt 2 understand while it' has an effect their farming, it's an adventure for their young children and working together. Without tourists, large parts of Wales, would be ghost villages and towns, with shopping chains only in larger towns and cities and the rural areas would receive even less funding, as only those living there and a low number of dedicated ramblers would be visiting there, but then again, the English will probably be moaning about the ramblers destroying the countryside.

    Difficulties because it has cut your farm in two?! get a grip !!!
    If that is the greatest difficulty you face each day then you really do lead a simple life.
    As for intruding.. I think being as the railway has "returned" I think you'll find it was there before you were..
    You're an old stick in the mud .. but not that old
