This would involve use of the track owned by the Mid Norfolk Railway.

"We run our trains without charge for the use of the track?"

And when the train did stop they would often wait for two days to allow another train going west use of the track.

In 1983, the track was changed to allow simultaneous use of the track and one of the runways.

Mr Lauder made use of the track for the diving business he runs, Lord Coulsfield said in a judgment issued yesterday.

Any train failure or track work results in shared use of the other track by trains going opposite directions, a situation known as single-tracking.

This was done after site selection was met with protest over the use of the track in state-owned lands.

Some runners from nearby towns have openly accused Bronxville of racism and anti-Semitism in limiting use of the track.

The train only runs three times a week and the stallholders make full use of the track.

"The use of the track for motor sports on a limited basis is something that I still think is within the realm of possibility," he said.
