Interesting site. Glad to see its getting some TLC. I always thought that the standard gauge branch line was overly optimistic.

Indeed, a number of ventures in the Kildale / Commondale area tell the story of a failed attempt to jump on the Cleveland Ironstone bandwaggon.

"Cleveland Ironstone: Memorial to John Owen" cover them all for anyone whos interested
