It’s the track, it happens on the other trains too.

I don't think they can make a premium experience of first class only at Stratford and only standard class at St Pancras. It's more likely they'll pay to take over half of the Eurostar lounge upstairs, or some other adjacent rooms (I would love to see a floorplan of that area with detail they...

Ran last weekend. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:Y80412/2026-10-03/detailed#allox_id=0 Not due to run tomorrow or the rest of the month, it seems.

How? The people in charge understand the issue and solution on the day, and hear from the teams who don’t want the past. There were huge amounts of electronics in the 90s, a supposed golden era. I’m still expecting the FIA to work out how to rescind FormulaE’s exclusive right to fully electric...

Your proposal goes in a direction the underground doesn’t. That’s good for connectivity, for making new paths, but it’s not as good for the existing ways people leave Victoria. There could be a majority of people heading from the CR3 platforms to the existing lines. True, but that near doubles...

There’s two questions. Does the signal need to be elevated, and does an elevated signal need a platform multiple people can stand on? That’s a two year old gantry. Did that Victoria lines project install non-overhead signals (including the left turn) that could have been used here?

That’s where I thought this thread was going by the title. But I don’t see unethical carbon emitting fuel from a mildly ethical country as clearly more palatable than ethically low carbon batteries featuring a tiny amount of minerals from unethical countries. It's far more than that?

The past few hundred years show the picture is bigger than you are looking at. How many office jobs today are on a computer? How many tons of crops can one farmer collect? There isn’t a formal mechanism for making new jobs, it just happens.

Geopolitics happen at a fast speed that limits the pleasing reactions we can expect from governments. Look at Germany, aiming to turn away from Russian gas by nuclear/coal/solar and still has about 5% of its gas supply from Russia via other countries. Diesel is the bedrock of some slow changing...

https://traksy.uk/live/L+MYB+@2020-09-11T22:00+LMS/M+26+SACTON If this diagram is accurate, there are only three/four signals south/northbound between Old Oak Common Lane and Gunnersbury. Would more help with this? The level crossings are left of South Acton Jn and right of Acton Central

Direct from Brent Cross West to Acton? No, they will wait for the stations to open.

That’s a major part of it. How many level and pedestrian crossings is this assessment proposing to close? That is key information to narrow down the very wide estimate in cost to something you’d still call a wide estimate.

One reason not to stop the Met at Neasden is that it would spread the Wembley Stadium load. When there will be some post Wembley event demand for the WLO, separating that from the central London journeys on the Met would help everyone at Wembley Park.

What happens when the mains are closed and everything goes through the relief? I’m interested in the idea that there can be a reasonably small gap to an Elizabeth line train and a large enough gap to a freight train. What will the step up be like, similar to the Piccadilly? What help will...

Maybe they are trying to build something free of a personality, as it's bigger than any one person. He must be near retirement. The guide is Treasury. If that was requested now, or before Covid, what would happen? They'd see if the EMR pilot is signing on at one end and has a rest room at the...
