How about the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway? They do serve a real
public transport purpose as well as touristy stuff (I assume the school
trains still run).

True, but t'aint really what you'd call a network. It's not as if there's
through running from the RH&D to other lines, for example.

A question I was strugging with a while ago, which uk.railway might
know the answer to: does Dublin have a tram *network*? They have two

but would the two lines have to be joined to constitute a network? The
mathematical types I know weren't sure.
