As for the latter, a lot of the S&D between Midford and Radstock was built on top of the SCC anyway - so you could rebuild one or the other, but not both!Janusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-74318513685243327312011-11-15T18:15:39.013+00:002011-11-15T18:15:39.013+00:00I don't know Bath well but believe the use as ...I don't know Bath well but believe the use as a publicity exercise of relaying the Midford line to the canal if possible could go much good to the SDJR cause.<br /><br />The transfer of goods from train to barge and vice versa.<br /><br />Demonstration of the way ahead has to start somewhere and soon.Neil S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-63765977579337129392011-11-14T23:05:18.478+00:002011-11-14T23:05:18.478+00:00Our land at Midford includes a tiny part of the Mi...Our land at Midford includes a tiny part of the Midford canal basin, but I think that's the only place where we interface.<br /><br />Canals will certainly have a big part to play in future transport in the UK and it's good to see that so much of the infrastructure has already been restored.Steve Sainsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12024394243500109831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-16609328335877574682011-11-14T21:59:09.238+00:002011-11-14T21:59:09.238+00:00It's obvious to me that there are some very in...It's obvious to me that there are some very intelligent people who are strongly interested in railway restoration.
