Like the idea or not, this is coming down the line, is it perhaps time to open a sub forum for all things GBR as the megalith emerges?

This forum is nothing if not quick in following up on member suggestions  ...  and we have discussed overnight behind the counter.   There is a temptation, for sure, to add a board or a sub-board - but such temptations can lead to a fragmentation of areas with only a handful of posts and confusion as to where to post.   Can do better to meet the objectives of looking forward for GBR?

* Our "Looking forward, 5, 10 and 15 year" board title / subtitle to be updated to very clearly mark it as the place for emerging GBR posts, where they will naturally sit alongside emerging electrification, regional mayoral stuff, and so forth.

* Immediate posts of what is going on NOW (and threads may move there from "Looking forward" when things eventually happen in "Across the West" or "Wider Picture".

* Our forum does already respond to https://www.greatbritishrailways.info/ which was registered on 26th January 2024  ... but ideally, publicity and sharing should be done through a single domain name so that our search engine presence is concentrated on one name - doing one place well rather than lots of places badly, and also helping to keep spidering down to a level our server can manage.
