Are you sure it wasn't the fact that the former Merioneth constituency was marginal, and Labour held it? On the flip side, Minehead, part of the Taunton constituency, was safe Tory?

ROG contact reports the condition of the units isn't known enough to be able to get Network Rail to sign off on the clearance. So someone has to go and get them properly looked at, check the state of doors, windows, and everything else to be able to then get them moved.

Oh absolutely, or putting it back in from Hampton. Both would be excellent.

In a previous thread, I said they should tinker with XC. - Plymouth to Edinburgh, hourly, 8 car. - Cardiff to York via Doncaster, hourly, 4/5 car. - Then have the 'slower' service the Bristol to Nottingham, as an XC Intercity route with a 22x. If you assume that would slot in behind the Cardiff...

To be able to go south out of Northampton, round, and then face north at Wellingborough would be excellent for domestic freight. At the moment, stuff from Daventry has to go round Birmingham to get to Toton. To go to Northampton and straight up must surely be a massive potential time saving...

It's hard to say. But, if you're a small operator, and then do something quite silly, it becomes more difficult for you to come back as you then need to spend quite a lot of money to get yourself compliant again. Then you're under constant scrutiny, and if you're running the operation in this...

You were previously asked for clear evidence of Merseyrail, and 777s, working these services. You have pivoted to general chuntering. Where is your clear evidence? 1752772885 Known, cheaper technology. Obvious, ongoing power source. That easy.
