Isn't the old Woodhead Tunnel used for high voltage cables? Aldwych branch and the Green Park to Charing Cross section of the Underground are both used as film sets as required

Various things: preservation projects rebuilt as railways (e.g. Borders Railway) rebuilt as tramways (e.g. parts of the Croydon Tram) Built over for housing / industry / commerce Sold (back) to farmers Converted to cycle paths or footpaths Left abandoned to rust and / or be visited by metal...

This series seems to have followed the same 'plot' every week: Someone doing prolonged fare dodging on the Elizabeth line - generally on the eastern end. Is this because the teams who consented to be filmed work that end or is it more of a problem than in west London? Following a team on the...

341 uses the same U turn facility as 139 at Waterloo.

During my time at King Edward's in Bath (1985 -1992) Badgerline were contracted to provide a bus for the weekly games lessons at Bathampton. Usually a VR or an RE. Remember a VR stalling at the bottom of North Road on one return journey and all of us having to walk the remaining short distance...

Southall - plenty of mainline action plus the heritage stock at the depot.
