It would be great to see some more pictures of work done or underway if any down in South Wales has the ability/capacity to do this.

Hi Ian1944 I'm the person who started this thread and my parents in law lived in the second house on the left up Claremont Avenue from the gates of Timperley Lodge. They rented some land by the railway from the then owners of Timperley Lodge to grow vegetables. It's a small world after all. I...

Thanks for your prompt replies. I lived in Timperley for the first 18 years of my life and I don't think I knew there is a Skelton Road, still less a Skelton Garage on the corner. I think I used to know the story about John Skeleton at Pickering Lodge but I have forgotten far more things than I...

Please can anyone tell me why Skelton Junction in Timperley, near Altrincham, is called Skelton Junction? I think the Skelton Junction near York is near a place called Skelton but, coming from Timperley, I can't think why 'our' junction has this name. Thanks for any ideas. PS When we were...

Excellent info thank you. That's not big in the large scheme of things maybe but significant progress for a line that has been in need of investment for a long time.

Thanks. Do you know which stations and how many carriages are expected to be accommodated, please?

According to Rail Advent, between Christmas and New Year 'platform extensions to allow longer trains to run between Wolverhampton and Telford' were installed. Does anyone have any idea exactly what work has been done?

Has anyone local got an update on the infrastructure progress anywhere on the CVL, please? Any photos?

Hi D6975 Sorry for the delay in replying. It was my son who saw it north of Nottingham at 11.50 am on Monday heading northbound on the M1 so not coming from Longtown as suggested above.

37609 going north by road yesterday. Anyone know where from and where to?

Thank you.

That's a great video thank you. Does anyone know which company is running the operation at the Telford rail depot end of things?

Thank you for the reply and sorry about the missing 'f'! I could even get two 'f's into Caerphilly if I go to the Welsh spelling. :) I wonder if anyone can tell us who is being paid to do the work, if effect who is managing the site I suppose.

Yesterday I went over the branch from Wellington to the terminal. It had looked very overgrown in recent times but it looks like there has been a very comprehensive cut back and weedkill. I was driving so no photograph. Can anyone tell me exactly what is happening at the terminal? Who is doing...

Hi Wolfie I live in Broseley. Queen Street.

Thanks, Philipe. Do you know anything about the loco and consist and/or the destination, please?

Please can anyone tell me if the railway up to Machen Quarry in South Wales has had any traffic on it over the the last few weeks?

Please excuse me asking again but does anyone know if the class 37 is running this evening? Thanks.

Afternoon all. I'm travelling down from Shropshire specifically to travel on this train tomorrow. Please, if anyone knows what the problem is and the chances of it being a class 37 I would be very grateful. Thank you. Frustrated? Will be if it doesn't run.
