bristol harbour railway questions

Does anyone know what the running lines will be once the industrial museum opens again? are they being forced to contract ever further?

where is portbury, henbury and the fox walker pieces?
how many volunteers do they have?

Providing the rediculous busway proposal withers into BDC oblivion in a puff of spiralling smoking badly thought out costs etc, will the line operate alternative workings to ashton swing bridge halt and the great britain? what happened to the proposal extending the great britain running line all the way into the dockyard?

is the civil enginners depot and lifted meadows siding going to be built over by the usual scumbag developers and anti heritage/anti rail bristol city planners, blocking the route to ashton junction?

I thought I saw a 60 foot panel along the new cut stacked ontop the running line the other day? can anyone confirm any of this???

According to the Bristol Museums Portal www.bristol.gov.uk/museums the locos are still at the Museum of Bristol (the new name for the Industrial Museum) and there is a contact number for prospective volunteers to help run the railway or get involved in any way.
