Consultation is a learning exercise and will be an important activity throughout the early phases of the project to reinstate the railway.
The purpose of this consultation is to understand any concerns that there might be from interested parties or stakeholders. Such parties might be neighbours, local communities, businesses, local authorities or government agencies as well as of course the national railway industry. The numerous expressions of support received from individuals through this website further contribute to the consultation process.
Consultation with interested parties and addressing their concerns is a key aspect of the process by which such an infrastructure project receives government approval to proceed.
