just a guess, but...[edit]

the "green diesel" isn't actually a diesel at all, but a petrol motor run at low rpms to simulate such? given that the moggie minor never had a diesel powerplant, but did have quite a torquey, sloggable engine for it's size and era...? 77.102.101.220 (talk) 01:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probable closure[edit]

Press Release. Issued by The Mull & west Highland Narrow Gauge Railway Company Ltd.

27th October 2010

It is with some regret that the Board of Directors of the Mull & West Highland Narrow Gauge Railway Company Ltd announce today the suspension of services on the Isle of Mull Railway.

Despite the extension of the company’s lease by two years, future operations have been frustrated by the proposed sale of the Torosay Castle Estate. The closure of the castle to the public negates the purpose of the line in carrying passengers and complicates the implementation of any meaningful timetable for 2011.

Hopes of an early sale of the castle to an enthusiastic party who wished the railway to remain have, the Board understand, not been successful.

Started in 1976 and eventually opened in 1981 closure of the railway will be felt by local traders, hotels and the ferry company that serve the island. The Directors are now pressing ahead with investigation of sale or possible alternative sites for their equipment.

A further announcement will be made shortly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.233.175 (talk) 11:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
