It is the responsibilty (so far as I am aware) of Sustrans, who own the trackbed between Broadway and Honeybourne. They are unable to develop it as there is no access at the Honeybourne end and it would be very expensive for them to provide access ramps at Springfield Lane.Jim Boylesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-6992289029503724792015-02-28T11:57:39.977+00:002015-02-28T11:57:39.977+00:00Great progress as always, roll on the fence coming...Great progress as always, roll on the fence coming down and the honeyborne area groups station and turntable build! ..
