    Bus stops on country roads that have no visible markings that they exist

    I came across an interesting example of this whilst spending a week in the East Neuk. The local bus between Leven and St Andrews serves all the towns and villages such as Kilconquhar. The express service to and from Edinburgh sticks to the main road and bypasses Kilconquhar. Or so I thought...

    First Greater Glasgow

    Rusted Cylindrical Shells Beside GSWL

    I live next to Busby Junction and I have been following the electrification works with interest. Last night, I had taken a walk up to a bridge, near my house, that overlooks the line when I noticed five rusted cylindrical shells beside the lines. They were not there when I walked up to the...

    Glasgow Central Platform Lengths

    I’ve seen a few folk quote figures for the platform lengths at several stations across the UK and I recently I’ve been wondering how long the platforms at Central are. So, does anyone know the figures? I’d be most grateful.
