It's great to see this scheme getting underway in Alnwick. All being well, it will see function restored to two fabulous, skewed masonry arch bridges which were formerly threatened with emergency infilling by @NationalHways. Keep your fingers crossed! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
@theHREgroup @NationalHways If only tracks were being put back on a nationwide plan and basis? #Guildford-#Horsham-#Shoreham is but one, but so useful were Government to aid pushing it through. @Mark_J_Harper @HuwMerriman @christianwolmar @Railfuture @LouHaigh @guardian @BBCNews Join BRTA and help re-rail.
The statutory consultee responses to the Clifton Hall Tunnel/Station Road bridge infill proposals suggest that the planning permission process is working effectively. That's why @NationalHways misuse of emergency permitted development rights - avoiding such scrutiny - had to end.
@NationalHways @BBCPanorama 🛣️ ALTERNATIVELY, head to the @theHREgroup website to read of @NationalHways’ management of the Historical Railways Estate. Despite spending vast sums of public funds, this Govt. Agency—in part—now acts independently of public scrutiny & accountability: ➡️ thehregroup.org
A planning application to infill Station Road bridge at Southfleet has been submitted by @NationalHways. The background details are here... s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.nationa… And if you'd like to comment, here's the page on @dartfordtogethr planning portal... publicaccess.dartford.gov.uk/online-applica…
A more local view on the transfer of #BarcombeBridge into the sympathetic ownership of @esccroads. Why does this public body recognise the structure as a community asset whilst @NationalHways viewed it as a liability to get rid of? Simple answer: culture. lewestimes.co.uk/campaigners-ce…
@theHREgroup Some good news from National Highways, although there is no right of way over the track bed at this point dorsetecho.co.uk/news/24252670.…
A rare archive view of the fabulous skewed masonry arch bridge carrying Rudgate over the former Church Fenton-Harrogate railway, now the focus of @NationalHways' retrospective planning application. The scene today is something of a contrast. We must value our historical assets.
Great to see @esccroads engaging positively with the local community over #BarcombeBridge. In developing a repair scheme, the Council intends to maintain the structure's "historic aesthetics" AND current 20t weight limit. Are you watching @NationalHways? That's how you do it.
Great piece on #RudgateBridge from @TCIndex, examining @NationalHways' attempt to secure retrospective planning application for its unnecessary 'emergency' infilling scheme. Repairs to a nearby fence were needed. theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/nort…
Great news for the local community that #BarcombeBridge is going to be sympathetically repaired, any residual threat of @NationalHways' £246K emergency infill scheme having finally been lifted. And the weight limit will remain at 20 tonnes too. theargus.co.uk/news/24247171.…
And in good news... We shall not be unfilled with concrete! Well done @BarcombeBridge @theHREgroup bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #Sussex @Sussex_Heritage
We're really pleased to see @BBCSussex covering the #BarcombeBridge ownership transfer so extensively - on TV, on radio and online. Anyone would think people are interested in our great railway heritage! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@theHREgroup @NationalHways 🛣️ ACCIDENTAL @NationalHways’ infilling was no accident, and their excuses could be described as car-crash PR. The troubled Government Agency is now exploring alternative words for ‘accident’, including Incident, Collision and Crash. fleetnews.co.uk/news/national-…
@theHREgroup @SAVEBrit @NationalHways SAVE always does write the best and most strongly worded objections. Also isn't scared to follow up with legal challenge. 😽🐾 I love a stroppy letter from SAVE, so cheering.
@theHREgroup The Park Authority should know where its visitors come from. They (PDNPA) and those originating authorities should be the funders.
@theHREgroup FYI the reporting is inaccurate, while the line is not in passenger use is a busy freight line, to the extent that finding a regular path for passenger service is difficult.
@theHREgroup Indeed. Everyone is 'free' to buy a Rolls Royce, but if you don't have the money, that freedom is useless.
@theHREgroup Indeed. Gov says it's serious about reducing emissions, but then puts obstacles in the way.
👏❤️👇
Great to have @SAVEBrit voicing its objection to the loss of #RudgateBridge to @NationalHways 'emergency' infill scheme. We need to respect our railway history and protect these structures so they can be part of a better future. Time for NH to accept that reality or step away.
@theHREgroup @NationalHways More insanity from @NationalHways
@theHREgroup @NationalHways Cheers Graeme - have done my own narrative, including references to 1971 report for Scotland, US Government policy #RailBanking, plus my own work to oversee building 16 mile cycle route, & then oversee surveys to reopen it as a railway 10 years later
@theHREgroup @NationalHways It's a deliberate felling of trees, can't be anything else. Resulting from a disregard of any rules. What NH thinks, NH just gets on & does regardless of rules, consultation etc. indicative of a dictatorial, "we know best" culture.
@theHREgroup @NationalHways It’s not so difficult for organisations to do the right thing, even for seemingly unaccountable @NationalHways
