THE owner of Poole Park’s miniature railway, Chris Bullen, says he is “devastated” that the attraction will be closed while Poole council invites new operators to take over the business.
In less than two months’ time, the railway track will be dismantled in preparation for a tendering process for the contract to begin.
The current owner aims to be among those bidding for the railway, which will have to be rebuilt to current health and safety requirements when it re-opens.
