Woking Grammar School for Boys, Surrey 1969-76. The school was just on the south side of Woking Station (buildings more recently used as the police station), the sports field in Kingfield. It was walkable through Woking Park but we were left to our own devices to get there and back and many...

Got to Euston eventually, just under 2 hrs late.

Facebook post ("Signalboxes and Signalling" group) yesterday evening showed the post, ladder and arm on the back of a lorry, arriving at Butterley. Apparently pulled out of the ground (thankfully not sawn off) with the bottom end timber looking remarkably sound.

Not for everyone (so far). Mixed performance for me about 1800 today with some stalling but some clicks going straight through.

After a couple of weeks working OK (for me) NP Forum is inaccessible again now.

After 2.5 days when I kept getting "504" errors, it was working fine just now (1530 GMT Saturday)! Get in quick before it falls over again!!

As the OP hasn't specified UK, I nominate Chemin de Fer de Baie de Somme in northern France which is V-shaped with Noyelles at the intersection of the two arms where the line meets the national rail network SNCF. However CFBS Noyelles is a terminus with all trains having to reverse, though...

The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway has run a 3-train service (8 round trips - 7 mile single journey) during the school holidays, but that finishes tomorrow.

It's more complex than that. The railway has one diesel generator set module (in a glorified box which can be moved around with fork-lift truck) which can be installed ("easily" presumably) in any one of the three Wengen Shuttle locos 41 - 43 - hence the unique classification He(m)4/4.

It does. Train order issued for one return journey by duty Controller at Ravenglass, with confirmation of authority to proceed into each section (other than leaving Ravenglass, which is semaphore signalled) given by Radio.
