I feel for the HERITAGE RAILWAY ASSOCIATION today their future is in real doubt owing to the refusal for a coal mine which was to be opened to supply them . The stocks are running very low and with this refusal of the DEWLEY HILL MINE near NEWCASTLE being turned down on enviromental grounds !! the only other option is to (( GET THIS )) IMPORT THE BLACK GOLD FROM ABROAD !!!Thus pushing the trade gap even wider and wider.
It does make sense dun it .( me being sarcastic ) Has anyone of our members ever been on any of these tours ??? they are really good thats if your a steam nut suppose but they are an enjoyable day's outing.
