Harlech station to Harlech Castle is 1 in 3 too. Not the best drive in the world!!

Linespeed enhancements are due to be implemented for Monday 29 October.

The Alderley Edge by pass was constructed rather quickly I suppose but it was first mooted in the 1930's!! The sale catalogue for the Stanley Estate shows a route for a new road which follows broadly the route of the current by pass. I think the Stanley Estate was sold in 1938.

ERTMS is not the barrier. The quote from The Cambrian Times shows that it is a fiscal issue (as determined by the WG). However the political will to push ahead with an hourly service does not seem to be forthcoming.

You are quite correct. Operationally ERTMS is no more or less reliable than TCB or RETB.

I know Gareth. ERTMS has been plagued by many false starts.

Despite The Cambrian being a GSM-R area signallers at Machynlleth cannot make PA announcements on the 158's on The Cambrian. However there is always at least one guard on all service trains. Guards are not required for some ECS moves though.

Cambrian Times reports today that the WG have stated that an hourly Aberystwyth - Shrewsbury will not be introduced until 2015 at the earliest.

Surveyors have been out in the Ystrad Fawr (138), Rallt (136), Tyddyn y Pwll (135) and Pikins (134) area. By all accounts one bridge is to be built to replace all these. The overbridge looks like it will be built in the short to medium term at the latest. This will not lead to any significant...

Further to my previous post. Line speed enhancements at Bow Street and Pant-y-Peron UWC (No.219) between Borth and Aberystwyth. Furthermore enhancements at Tywyn, Barmouth Bridge, Pont Briwet, Penrhyndeudraeth and Pwllheli. Many apologies but I do not have the exact speed increases to...

Linespeed increases from last Monday in October will see linespeed between Welshpool and Sutton Bridge junction increase to 145kph (90mph). Increase in speeds over the points into and out of Newtown and Welshpool from 25kph to 40, 45 or 50 kph depending specific location. Other linespeed...

Arriva Trains Wales Southbound Gerald service does breakfast and the Norhbound does evening meals.

Barmouth and Porthmadog are TMO's. They are the only crossings that traincrew must operate for the passage of every train. Harlech must be operated by traincrew in the up direction only. It is automatic in the down direction. You are correct in as much as some of the AOCL's and ABCL's have...

Apologies Gareth but I really don't know what the intention is.

Latest WON22 now shows permissive working as permitted within the limits of Aberystwyth station platform line.

Barmouth and Porthmadog level crossings on The Cambrian coast are both trainman operated despite the introduction of ERTMS.

My mother, who has lived near Alderley Edge all her life, remembers London trains calling at Alderley Edge. She does not know the exact details but she says that a train from London called in the evening, certainly during the 1950's. It was for businessmen for The Queens Hotel that was...

On The Cambrian Morfa Mawddach is a request stop for all services apart from one up and one down service on a sunday that are booked to call.

On The Cambrian? Because of very short platforms, low platforms, disabled access etc, I think there will always be guards on The Cambrian.

I know what you mean but with the greatest respect it is best if I do not comment. I am sure you appreciate the reasons why.
