Am I right in thinking that ,on continental railways, the person acting in the role of as the dispatcher wore a red hat? That is my memory of travel on Swiss trains in the 80s.

Even better still, extend it towards the Disley tunnel west portal and create a chord to link it to the lines towards Hazel Grove station.(giving Marple a direct link to Stockport.)

Sorry, but I'm still confused by this explanation from Minilad. I live in Manchester and very rarely travel through New Street. Is the A end towards Coventry or towards Wolverhampton? Are you saying that the train (Drivers Cab) had stopped initially beyond the signal which protects the points...

I assume there has been an investigation into this incident. Has there been a published report that is in the the public domain?

On the show tonight (19th march) there was an incident where a XC train had passed a Red signal and caused damage to a set of points. It was later stated the driver had been given an incorrect instruction by a dispatcher to pass the signal. Is it correct that a dispatcher can give an...

The poster Glen-Ped is likely to be the poster who has been banned many times on SkyScraperCity known as John Burns. I would suggest that everyone puts this poster on ignore as this poster thrives on provoking others to respond to the "ideas" that are put forward.

Sky Scrapper City, The HS2 threads there get contaminated quite regularly by a poster who has the same posting style and gets banned only to re appear later with a new user name. the poster is known on the SSC as Mad John or John Burns (from Milton Keynes)

Would it not be better to avoid Man_Pic( platform 13) to Stockport altogether. I would have thought it would be better to go via Man-Vic, Philips Park, Ashbury's, Romily, New Mils to pick up the Hope Valley. but as mentioned else where, is there enough capacity on the Hope Valley?

I want to travel from London to Amsterdam on 20th Feb. and return from Brussels Midi to London on 4th Mar. Is it possible to book this on the UK Eurostar site as a return journey or do I have to book 2 singles. It doesn't seem possible to book Midi to St Pancras on the UK site, am I missing...

I understand the Dutch rail group ticket. ( NS Group Ticket) is only available online and costs €30 for 4 people. I intend travelling on the Dutch rail system in February with my partner. Is it permitted for a couple to buy a group ticket? The journeys I intend to make are Amsterdam to...

No, have you heard something that you can give a reference for.

If you can find an out of print book:-"The Great British Railway Station EUSTON", Irwell Press ISBN 1-871608-28-7 you can find some information there.

What crew changes take place at P13/14. I was under the impression that Network Rail did not allow crew changes other than at Oxford Road.

Irony is wasted here. the 43 already runs to the airport, as anyone observing southbound buses on Oxford road would know.

Such as Manchester Airport?

You are correct. I have a book Called "Britain's New Railway" by O.S. Nock published in 1966 by Ian Allen Ltd. which covers this in detail...
