The post you are reporting:
There is no future for the harbour area Howard so long as you`ve got, as Ross says above, planner`s with no idea of regeneration. There`s a massive tourist attraction right in the middle of the whole area, which is a multi-million pound industry as I`ve said many times before, and these empty heads want to rip it out. Yes, the railway line. Special trains could run down from London or the north full of punters, and alight at the harbour station, still in situ. If you haven`t seen those steam specials down the branch, with the masses of people, both enthusiasts and general public, then look on youtube. I`ve been over there a number of times, and the crowds need to be seen to be believed. There are travel companies about who run charter trains. I remember just a few years ago, when the Orient Express stock was down there, all heads turn. Trains are a natural crowd puller in this country. Costs could be shared between Network Rail and private enterprise. P.S. Yes Ross, excellent posting.
