I would like to see the 'viability' report. ;)

Their viability reports don't mean a thing. Look at the Richo Arena fiasco.I don't think they had one for that mess up.
Worcestershire & Gloucestershire County Councils are behind the scheme. Will Warwickshire & Stratford councils ever get their heads out of their backsides and make a decision?

Stratford District Council supports the scheme, but it seems that no-one else wants anything to do with it: http://www.stratford-herald.com/56944-reopened-rail-line-plan-hit-dead-end.html

Years-many-ago when I lived in Leamington, I'm sure I regularly travelled to Wales from that lovely station, changing at Gobowan to get to Criccieth.
Not sure now -after the depths of time.
Some of you may know.Once it took 9 hours as there was the Eistedfford in Corwen and so many delays..
Usually it took about 3 hours.
When I was at university, I always used Leamington station to travel to/from college as the rail links were so much better than Strarford.
I'm getting a feeling that the railway link will never be restored: http://www.stratford-herald.com/103100-council-urged-commission-honeybourne-rail-study.html
The whole idea's been chucked in the bin: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/plans-to-reopen-stratford-to-honeybourne-railway-line-shelved-for-good/
