I would be saying the same thing if there was proven progress on these projects but so far, there has been zero progress and land needed for the bordseley chord has been sold by the government.

Is Snow Hill depot anywhere near Snow Hill station? If so, I would suggest that using tram would be better seeing it is faster and can be cheaper (or even free). And, the point was...? My point was that it's convenient for majority of travellers who are looking to connect at Birmingham city...

I suggested this purely for leisure travellers which would be most prominent on weekends. I would suspect that most leisure travellers would be happy to interchange at New St. as it provides more connections, and most commuters on weekdays would be happy to go to any of three stations in...

I was reading about Snow Hill Line and its history. Few decades ago, Snow Hill and Moor St. rail stations weren't popular, so trains were diverted to New St. Obviously this has stopped now. I was wondering if there was specific reasons as to why it stopped diverting? I'd imagine it would...

The answer for 2) 3), since wikipedia link doesn't seem to answer it, is nobody knows. Most people would say the ticketing arrangement would be similar to HS1. I.e. requiring a specical ticket, routed "via HS2" and is dearer than using classic line. But then I wouldn't expect it to be too...

Will XC still call at Solihull next week?

If it takes longer than 2 weeks to investigate and fix the problem, then it'll clash with WCML closure on 14 and 15th feb, effectively leaving West Midlands with no direct link to London.

Chiltern's FAQ section says restrictions still apply although bit relaxed. Anytime return via High Wycombe is £99, so not exactly cheap.

Is there a way for Chiltern to shift some of their trains to West Midlands?

Interesting. Could it because their services are so busy that they're unable to handle any more passengers?

I would honestly say it was easier back then. Looking at science exam papers today, I would certainly say I would have gotten one or two grades below the original grade if I had attempted it back then. I am of opinion that the grade inflation "problem" is mainly attributed to students becoming...

Good suggestion. Although any route that I would be unlikely to cover sometime in future would take priority. I see, it costs me an extra fiver if I buy an XC advance ticket to Birmingham from Oxford instead of Banbury. From route improvements on Virgin Trains website linked here. Could this...

Does that mean I have to use this ticket? If so, the restrictions doesn't really give me a suitable time for arriving into London or leaving from it.

I plan to go out and return during Easter term holiday, between 28th March and 12th April, staying in London for 3-7 days. The cheapest I can find is £29 super off peak return via High Wycombe for use on FGW and XC trains on the return. It'd mean I would have to use the usual route to London...

I plan to leave from Birmingham Centro area for London then back during Easter term holiday. I've decided that on return leg, I'll take 10:30 from Paddington to Banbury, and from there I'll be taking XC train to Birmingham on Sunday. I considered taking one from Worcester, but decided...
