    Your memory isn't cheating you. The story that the clue refers to featured the introduction of the Sontarans, a race of creatures with no necks. They still appear in the current series all their first appearance was way back in 1974.

    @ Robmit: Excepted, but...would commuters currently using the Gobowen car park use a heritage (steam) service operated by volunteers to get to Gobowen and back to Oswestry at the end of the working day? Remember, CHR are after money from the Lottery Heritage Fund, and the key word here is "heritage". That word doesn't include cycle/walking routes or any kind of HS2 service. It also means that steam trains will be crossing the bypass during rush hours (just think about that). Steam trains need coal and water. Where would that be stored? Do you think Network Rail will work in harmony with CHR? I'm full of silly questions and I'm not expecting answers from you. But I am expecting them from the people who bought the line in the first place (and that, I'm afraid, was all of us).

    A modern train can be driven from either direction, but a steam engine has to be put at the front of the carriages, and that means building a loop: The steam train and carriages come into the station and the passengers disembark onto the new platform (but the platform has to connected with something for the passengers to leave the station - a new footbridge, perhaps?). The engine is then disconnected from the carriages and moves further down the line, over some points and then shunted up a new line, over some more points to rejoin the original line and then recoupled to the carriages for its journey home. Clear? It will have to be some kind of heritage service in order for them to get the £10,000,000 award...so no modern locomotive I'm afraid. It is very unlikely that network Rail would allow CHR to use any of their platforms. The 3rd track is a safeguard should anything go wrong with the original engine. It would allow for a second engine to arrive in the station from Oswestry. And then, there's the little problem about parking to handle the masses of tourists coming to Gobowen to ride on the steam service. The existing car park is already at capacity.

    This has been put up around the village. I notice it doesn't mention anything about the plans by Cambrian Heritage Railways to also build three new railway tracks on the site and a platform suitable for 7 carriages and a steam train. A steam train would be...rather noisy, and may cause a little pollution.

    All local residents are invited to attend a 'drop in' consultation to discuss a proposed scheme of 22 new homes (plus a new railway platform long enough for 7 carriages and a steam train, with 3 extra railway lines) located on the site known as the Coal Yard, Station Road, Gobowen, SY11 3JS. Please feel free to come along to view the plans and ask any questions you may have anytime between 2pm and 5pm on Thursday 10th October 2013 at Gobowen Library, St. Martins Road, Gobowen. We look forward to seeing you on the day.
