GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Honeybourne
Sancta Lane Station: gwrsanct3921
Internal GWR correspondence from Mr Lambert dated 28th July
1890:
Dear Sir,
I enclose a copy of a letter which I have
received from Mr Hobbs and shall be glad if you will let me have your report on
the points raised therein.
You will see that the E&WJc Co object to
bear any footing of the expense of altering the junction whilst at the same
time they do not wish to see it closed.
From the latter part of the
letter, however, it would appear that they are not prepared to accept either of
the suggested alternatives, being of opinion that so long as the traffic is
interchanged at this point, a junction with a loop line is indispensable. What
grounds have the E&WJc Co for this assumption and do you consider that if
the E&WJc Co definitely refuse to bear any portion of the expense either in
connection with the alteration or the working of the junction, we close it
altogether or bear the expense ourselves both as regards the work on our own
and the E&WJc Companys land, of course assuming that that Company
ultimately agree to the plan being carried out on these terms?
To leave
the junction open as it now exists and to relieve the E&WJc Co of the cost
of working would mean a loss to this Company of about £107 a
year.
Please let me hear from you by return.
Yours
truly
For Mr Lambert
Robert Ferris
