This 100%, we would likely have a lot more railway, with marginally more income and a lot more cost. If the network had limped past the 60s, would it make it beyond the 70s? the 80s? the 90s? Cars and trucks became a lot better in that time period as did roads. That was the way of the world...

What a foul post, suggesting it is gesture politics to improve accessibility to people who through a disability may not be able to understand written English. If i go to a foreign country, i dont expect to be reading things in English, so i dont see why the Polish bit is relevant. Also BSL is...

Would that count for 2 entries and exits on the hypothetical train journey? There is a thread which asks to define no brainer. This line would define a No Hoper...same as Waverley and the Port Road.

I understand the initial ignorance about BSL. I was suprised to learn that a lot of deaf people, especially those who are born deaf will know BSL as a first language and will not always know or will struggle to understand written English. Having modern displays is great and this is an added...

That southern access point really isnt suitable for coach access, its truly horrible. It also requires a long walk along the tracks to get to and assuming someone has the key to the access then you need to arrange travel to a suitable onward point. This of course isnt specific to this location...

No brainer is often used by people who are only seeing the narrowest of viewpoints of their chose scheme and take no consideration into wider aspects/problems. For example people suggesting Skip-Colne tend to ignore the lack of paths into Leeds, where the services would originate to and from...

Surely you would have all trains going to Harrogate if it were to exist and i cant imagine there being any capacity to support any extra services via Knaresbrough to York. If we can't build the third line north of York station, then any other improvements on the way out to Knaresbrough are...

Ripon, although a lovely place with tourist attractions nearby has a tiny population of approx 17,000 and a surrounding area that is hardly overrun with people. The economics of such a service are pitiful. The majority of the tourist attractions in the Ripon area would require a car to get to...

Oui. That is correct!

The amount of works required to the earthworks alone makes this a non-starter. The amount of money this would require to do would be far far better spent on the operational railway

I still remember the one at Bramley mourning the passing of HRH Queen Gelnabeth...

Thanks, here is my offering

Mirao?

somewhere Iberian?

my guess would be starting with a search for the magic money tree

This is correct. A lava flow from Mount Nyirangongo cut the runway in 2 leaving it too short for the DC8. Your floor is made of lava

Nope

Thanks. What prevented a DC8 from leaving Goma in 2002?

Is that Croatia?

Its very pretty?
