Talk:Alford Valley Railway

-
I was surprised to see the statement that this railway is now closed. As a local (living in Keig) I rather thought it continued to operate on a seasonal basis in the summer. Al 11:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Definately not closed - running public trains last Tuesday. I think they're open through the week at present.


 * Is "Vale of Alford" the correct name though? The narrow gauge railway definately trades as the "Alford Valley Railway" and the original, standard-gauge line was known by the same name, so not sure if I agree with the name for this article.

 * Think I undertand this now. The "Vale of Alford Railway" referred to is the old public line, whereas "Alford Valley Railway" is the existing narrow gauge railway that does tourist trade in the summer.

 * Are you all complete idiots? Of course it's closed - it's been closed for decades.  Most of the track doesn't even exist anymore.  You're confusing it with the tiny old-fashioned train that runs tourists in a circuit around Haughton Park, and obviously isn't an actual commercial public transport train. - 85.210.31.129 07:31, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
