Hi, I saw your addition to the Snailbeach District Railways article. First, thanks for adding this new information. Second, I'm very interested to hear that a restoration effort is being considered. I've always believed that the SDR is one of the great "lost" narrow gauge railways and I'd love to see it reopen, even if only in part. I'd also be interested in learning more about the plans and prospects. Is there a way to contact those involved? Thanks, Gwernol 21:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Good to hear from you happy to add something to the Snailbeach. I live in Minsterley quite near the Callow Lane crossing about midway on the railway. I am currently negotiating with Tarmac to lease the track bed from Pontesbury to Callow Lane, which will be about half of the railway. Hopefully, Tarmac will give a decision soon as we would like something running by next August the 130th anniversary of the original opening. We have kept the project quiet just in case something goes wrong. As soon as I get something more concrete I will add more details to the SDR wiki page.

For you info the original Act has not been revoked and the old SDR is still a legal entity. We have set up a company Snailbeach District Light Railway Limited. Perhaps you would like to email me privately.

Regards
