At Bursledon Brickworks
Major changes have been taking place at Bursledon, largely due to the new ideas and initiatives provided by the Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust Ltd (HBPT) restructured management team.
The HNGRT were asked to produce a strategic plan covering the developments of the onsite railway including the provision of a passenger railway service. This plan was accepted and approved in principle by the HBPT trustees for inclusion within their overall site development plan, which is scheduled to be issued later this year.
Click HERE for a sketch which provides a guide to the route of the first stage of the proposed railway development (section A-B) and is the route considered by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) when they were invited down to comment on the proposal. I am pleased to say that following their visit the ORR confirmed they could see no problems with the route as proposed.
In addition to the work going on developing the railway much has changed at Bursledon, with major initiatives under way to clear the site of all unnecessary materials and the opening up of areas to allow and encourage a much broader range of events and attractions for all the family on ‘Open Days’.
