The current wording suggests that the ferry service started only in 2007, which is clearly not the case. -- rossb ( talk) 20:19, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Edited - is it any better now? talk
I presume the reference is to the East Hayling Light Railway. But can someone explain the point about scale wheels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross Burgess ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi I'm adding detail to railway stations on OpenStreetMap. Are any of Fairbourne Railway's request stops? -- Dave F63 ( talk) 13:25, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
The railway has mentioned and shared photographs of a 12¼ inch/15 inch dual gauge track on its official Facebook group along with an appeal for donations towards an extension in 2016. [1] However, there is no mention of this on their official website and the railway has no official You Tube channel, although it has official groups on Facebook and Instagram advertised on its website, and I have not been able to find any reports on this in any mainstream media which makes it difficult to cite reliable sources for its existence. The closest I can find is the latest Google Street View, taken in December 2022, with a stop sign for 15 inch trains short of Car Park crossing (after departing Fairbourne station). [2] After searching through You Tube videos of steam galas, which the railway advertises as having 15 inch gauge visitors, [3] I found a video of the 2016 gala posted by preservedrailway in which what appears to be a 15 gauge train with a locomotive at both ends, one of them "Katie" which is of this gauge, stops and reverses starting at 19:55 into the video. [4] The buildings in the background are recognisable from Google Street View as being between Fairbourne station and Springfield crossing suggesting the dual gauge track's termininus at the time before the extension advertised as taking place during the winter of 2016/17. Also, according to List of Fairbourne Railway rolling stock the A1-1A PH 15 inch gauge locomotive Sylvia (rebuilt and renamed Lilian Walter in 1985) is currently on the Fairbourne so it would not be able to run there without a dual gauge track unless it is just on static display. In response to potential questions about reliable sources, one may remember the publicity over Wikipedia's deprecation on the use of the Daily Mail newspaper as a reference (often incorrectly reported as a "ban") with the following exceptions: if there is not a more reliable source available and if it is for information about the Daily Mail itself.
