Hi Unkaljo, Where did you get the footage from? A big fan of the train

Cost a fortune and millions in insurance. It would never turn a profit. The cost of nostalgia never worth it either.

[@matthewmcinerney4228]

Shud be reopened. Great tourist attraction.and local freedom.

[@unkaljo]

Too costly to reopen and maintain. Health and safety and red tape would be the biggest hurdle.

[@matthewmcinerney4228]
