Welsh Railways Forum

Hello Matt,

I think it may be time for a Welsh Railways forum. We seem to have most others covered, Irish, Scottish, Switzerland, Germany, Europe and USA. There are some fine welsh routes available, freeware and commercial, and most are exceptional quality. There are also more in production. I think we deserve our our forum page.

What do others think?

John

Clearly Wales is part of Britain!

Can we have an Australian forum as well?

Can't we keep it all in one place? We're going to have a separate forum for every mile of track in the world at this rate...it'd be hard to find things in sepearate topics...and people will complain and say "well they've got a forum". Can't we just keep it under the one roof?

If there are forums for irish & scottish railways,then there should also be one for Welsh related routes and discussion.

The reasoning behind the different forums was more because irish railways are totally different, different stock and so forth. Scottish railways are a bit more blurred but they have their own operating companies such as SPT and Scotrail etc - the Welsh routes are generally just GWR, BR etc which fits in with the rest of the forums.

That said, if you can justify it and tell me what is inappropriate to be discussed in any of the other forums, I'm happy to do it, but the amount of fragmentation is starting to get a bit silly on these forums now and I'm hesitant to make more forums that won't get used.

The southerners will be after one next!

Matt.

Ah yes, it'll be the modes of transport next, we have trains, buses, planes - maybe cars will come soon, motorcycles are covered while hartside has their forums here, boats perhaps?

There is a precedent of sorts.

On the Auran site, when choosing which nationality to search, Wales is an option.

Can't think who obtained that ?

PS If you don't send me your address, Matt, I can't send a cheque. Emailed but but got a returned message.

Maybe it was a hint?

And an "English Railways" forum too.

Ok, it's created on a trial basis.

I need volunteers to moderate it

You've done it now Matt... you'll be inundated by requests from other species of Marine Mhammals, all demanding their own forums.
