I don’t have a lot of details about this one but I felt that this forum was the best place to raise this query. A friend of mine is doing a Brussels-Berlin and Berlin-Prague rail journey with a family member later this month. The rail tickets has been booked by the family member through a...

No it won’t but it might mitigate the issue if an incident occurs. I don’t use Bath Spa railway station but my impression is that the front of train currently stops past the end of the platform. This extension according to the documents will enable the 9/10 car stop boards to merge and the...

GWR apparently agreed to compensation in May (because the customer experience was poor) and requested her bank details. They still haven’t paid her. They have not responded to her since June. It’s October. Three full months have passed since June.

My impression is that Phoebe crawled off the train whilst at Bath Spa and did not travel to Bristol. I have a feeling that the impression that they would have to pay for the journey back from Bristol to Bath influenced that decision making.

Network Rail received planning consent for extending this platform in late August. See BathNES planning portal, application reference 26/01549/LBA I’m not sure that it will rectify the issue completely. However, it looks like they will create a combined stop board following implementation so...

Yes, the shift should be towards battery technology. Shifting away from Diesel should be the priority. Any scheme is going to be a multi-year design and delivery programme. It will need to account for current usage, expected changes to infrastructure, etc. Some routes will be easier to...

Has the Combined Authority taken control of its transport responsibilities or are they still delegated to the two councils? My concern is they need to learn to walk before they run because my worry is a lot of effort is spent to get to a point where someone goes ‘you haven’t run the existing...

The tunnel is over 30 miles long and there will be the time/distance spent getting to/from the entrance at either end. What are the toilet facilities like in the middle of the Channel tunnel?

Some buses will run to the station according to a Station Message on the Northern railway website https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/stations/marsden-yorks

That’s interesting. The comments about Starbeck station on page 22/23 interest me as well. I am guessing that the plan is to extend the York bound platform towards Harrogate and move the current signal towards Harrogate to create an overlap that doesn’t require the barriers on the very busy...

Sorry, posted this before spotting your last sentence reference to the Fehmarnbelt tunnel project.

There has been a campaign with Dr Adrian Morgan involved for a good 30-35 years. He has really pushed this campaign in his various capacities and offices held in the local community. I understand he has a user account on here. Efforts have been made. About four weeks ago, Gareth Dennis covered...

I don’t know the area or the operator. This train is routed via Kings Heath. I assume that making Droitwich set down only means that they can keep moving if they clear through that route quickly (or take the direct route) and not wait time blocking a platform. Is this train used to maintain...

RE: Kirkstall Forge-Apperley Bridge; Are these numbers passengers or full fares? Apperley Bridge is next to Woodhouse Grove school, which I understand generates quite a bit of traffic. You aren’t taking your kids in your car that far out through Leeds traffic if you don’t have to.

Just looking at the Signal Box controlled crossing at Harrogate. Is it the walking route from the signal box?
