    Clearing up Waste material after Maintenance and Renewals

    I have my doubts that it would be self-funding. Same thing happens on our road system (where retrieval is much more straightforward) with signs left in place long after work is completed. Contact them and you're told "sending a man and a van would cost more than the sign is worth".

    Missing Cambrian services on 23/10

    I was making a more general point about TfW and the lengthy transition to 197 operation, which is referred to in the post you refer to.

    Missing Cambrian services on 23/10

    The inability of the modern railway structure to transition from one fleet of rolling stock to a new fleet without months/years of disruption (some would term it chaos) is a disgrace.

    Can We Overturn This Loss of a Line from 1964?

    Can you explain what you mean by the highlighted section? 1791738400 The site would still be available for rental, or sale for redevelopment. Potentially more lucrative than the 10 coal merchants. Some of the excursion passengers may have simply switched to using Rishton or Accrington, so not a...

    Express coach proposed for north to south Wales link

    Cariadon. (Lovers. The two principal Welsh-speaking Universities are going to have "social" links.)

    Antisocial behaviour on buses: Have we given up?

    But is this really any different to the old ladies I remember from decades ago discussing the medical issues of themselves and/or their families, neighbours etc. I'd rather listen to "look at me" small-talk than the details of Doris's hysterectomy!

    Got off train without being asked for ticket now received fraud email

    There appears to be a ticket machine at Gunton, so wouldn't an offence have taken place already? * * I am assuming the ticket required isn't unavailable at a machine.

    Which is unfortunate, but these things happen.

    Could another Greatest Gathering event be on the way?

    Given the performance of Rainhill 150 that may be a comfort! :D 1791551013 Would be interesting to know the practicalty of the what and where of a Crewe event.

    Guards vans on fully-fitted freights

    I hope you'll understand that I'd rather not say.

    LNWR G2 lack of BR smokebox number plate?

    Did other ex-LNWR locos gain smokebox numberplates? Few, of course, lasted as long as the Super Ds.

    What are the options for buying tickets for this service?

    Euro 2028: Manchester - Liverpool Corridor

    Naughty, but I was going to post something similar! City in the Conference could use the small stadium, and the main stadium could go back to athletics for the 2036 North of England Olympics. :D

    Could another Greatest Gathering event be on the way?

    Yes, I think it's just an admin "tidy-up". They closed their merchandise site last week so I think it's pretty much shut up shop.

    Notepad people

    Exactly. But it's cheaper than going to (most) football matches to cheer on 11 people you'll probably meet, and who will be off at the end of the season/their contract if they're offered more money elsewhere - at which point thousands of new people who will never meet them will cheer them on...
