Mind you, the Seaton tramway, a lovely little line, is the gauge it is
because they lifted it and moved it there from Eastbourne.

I got quite a few replies most informing me that there were absolutely
no cost advantages for the narrower guages and that my suggestions were
a complete waste of time.

Quite a number of tourist railways which have been built on disused
trackbeds of standard gauge railways have gone for a narrow gauge - see,
for
example, at opposite ends of England the South Tyneside Railway and the
Seaton Tramway.
