Most people in the UK will not give a monkey's whether the S&D continues or fails but if enough people like us continue to support it then it will at least survive. This project is not Sunshiner's personal project, even though this blog seems to indicate otherwise. Sunshiner, you have made the mistake of becoming too involved in something which you don't own. If you were bankrolling the whole thing then it would be different. Don't forget, the S&D might not let you "return!" I hope they do but it has happened to some other individuals on heritage railways. Don't get bitter - be glad that MN isn't a housing estate, it should have been long ago if we used "brownfield sites" properly. The S&D was a wonderful line but it sure as hell wasn't the finest in the world!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-44133823672844812007-12-28T22:24:00.000+00:002007-12-28T22:24:00.000+00:00Oh no, nothing so literal!I personally don't want ...Oh no, nothing so literal!<BR/><BR/>I personally don't want to be involved in a site that seems determined to transform itself from one of the prettiest sites on the S&D into a scrapyard, where the top trustees live hundreds of miles from the site and where democracy and professionalism are alien concepts.<BR/><BR/>Things will change - they have to -and when they do no doubt I'll return!Steve Sainsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12024394243500109831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-51384199010333895502007-12-28T21:23:00.000+00:002007-12-28T21:23:00.000+00:00And what do you mean by wrong direction? have they...And what do you mean by wrong direction? have they scrapped the idea of going from radstock to shepton?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-74802989138339015622007-12-28T13:48:00.000+00:002007-12-28T13:48:00.000+00:00Not from me I'm afraid!My last visit to Midsomer N...Not from me I'm afraid!<BR/><BR/>My last visit to Midsomer Norton is tomorrow and I'll no longer be able to put in updates. I have left the project as it is going in totally the wrong direction.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping to broaden the site to cover all aspects of the S&D - plus MANY MANY more shots from the last 30 years or so around Europe, including LOADS of holiday snaps. I'll also be covering rail revival in the UK, peak oil, climate change, all your little favourites!<BR/><BR/>If I feel it's moving too far away from the original remit then I may consider changing the name of the blog, but at the moment it'll stay S&D, as it is and will be again the finest line in the world ...Steve Sainsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12024394243500109831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-27829147344157602042007-12-28T11:51:00.000+00:002007-12-28T11:51:00.000+00:00This budapes is strating to be-a-pest!
