I dunno, whatever goes on behind the scenes of a construction and design process. Not a particularly strong area of mine, I must admit.

Oh right. Just with you saying that you believe it is still going through bureaucracy, I thought you had some concrete information to share with the forum.

Planning was approved back in November 2017, but I can't recall seeing an update on construction beyond that. Maybe someone locally will be able to confirm whether or not groundwork has started?

I'll go up to Delves tomorrow armed with my very own picture taking utility to provide evidence for the puzzle that remains...

I can now locally confirm with my detectorist abilities, that all that has been constructed is a field of Daisies and ankle-heighted varieties of grass in a previously excavated rectangular plot. I don't think photographic evidence is in need for this particular revelation, but if they are, I will be happy to supply.

All a developer needs to do is to 'break ground' to be considered to have started work.

This also wasn't present on the latest Google Maps streetview, although I cannot confirm the date since I'm viewing on mobile. There's no signs or fences, just a huge bank of dirt from the flattening stages and since has become overgrown again.

A nice picture of the notice regarding the lack of printed timetables too. Tweet alongside it didn't seem all too supportive!

Great to see him very active with the public too, don't know much about what he did at Reading but the way people's comments have gone, he changed the company.

Hopefully we'll see a return of them then. An utterly bonkers decision to discontinue them in the first place.
