This is a really small port and pier, had the railway company really investigated the potential traffic? I doubt very much if the catch from all those fishing boats at Findhorn could fill a railway van.

I think the tracks for slideways and mobile cranes can hardly be called "railway", a harbour railway must at least had freight (at most) traffic from other places.

When I was reading about Newquay, a very small harbour that can only accommodate brigs and boats, but which once had a standard gauge harbour railway, I wondered if it was the smallest harbour in the UK to had a harbour railway? At least in standard gauge system.

Are there any legal restrictions on new building such full wooden structures for public, how to pass fire code inspection?

Is it possible to save one of these machines on a heritage railway?

These active people and groups generally have a high level of knowledge and means to avoid anything from appearing as evidence, such as in public videos, where any parts that can show physical features are covered. After each operation, they will dispose of all clothes and shoes to ensure that...

Judging from the current situation, the deterrent effect of law enforcement is relatively limited. An example of an activist is 10foot, who was arrested and jailed, but continued to be active in London after his release and was interviewed by the Financial Times 2 years ago. It mentioned...

Although not universal but a significant number of graffiti "artists" (apparently the pundits here don't appreciate the term being called them) are obviously relatively wealthy, can use a full box of expensive spray paint in their operations, and are equipped with their 4k cameras and drones for...

And in some videos showed that the signalman often pauses in the middle when pulling the electrical lever then pull it in place, as if waiting for the motor to react?

They won't carry a bucket of acid, they would fill it to spray cans or markers and of course, these homemade paints pose a huge risk to themselves and other people.

If a few years ago I certainly wouldn't have posted the photo, but there are so many graffiti-covered trains in the London area today that it's hard to pretend it doesn't happen. And I think a lot of people here don't realize how destructive this corrosive graffiti is - this is graffiti that has...

I travelled on the District line on Sunday and noticed corrosive graffities on the bodywork of at least two Metropolitan trains. There are now many posts on Reddit and other dedicated graffiti forums asking for sources and recipes for corrosive inks, with ingredients ranging from brake fluid to...

If these people smear similar substances on the inside of the stock, it may pose a serious problem to passengers. For example, if someone curiously touches the graffiti with their fingers, the closed environment inside the stock also makes it difficult for the chemicals to evaporate completely.

Until someone draws a Nazi symbol or genitals, things aren't that interesting anymore. These groups are too uncontrollable, and some use spray has caustic or highly harmful ingredients - some famous graffiti artists have died young as a result of this - and can also pose a health hazard to...

For industrial electricity, the most practical and cheap source is hydroelectric power stations but there appear to be very few in the UK.

For make steels that require special materials, such as manganese steel for turnouts, they may need to be imported entirely in the future.

The basic design of buses, whatever double-decker or others, has remained largely unchanged since the last century, which doesn't explain what happened in Optare.

Floating bridges for railroads do exist in history, usually as temporary replacements until a permanent bridge could be built, such as Nebraska City’s pontoon bridge spanning the Missouri River. For obvious reasons, such structures can only be used in calm waters and almost impossible on sea.

Maybe it was just a lack of common sense on the part of the reporter, who saw a photo of the pier and thought the structure is completely floating on the sea.
