If they are 'drawing up' something can they at least make sure the windows and seats line up (which I note still doesn't happen with the new HS2 trains.) and barely happened at all with Pacers. How difficult can that really be?

Sending 20.45 ex Leeds to KX...
I do agree about gov of the day...when do you guess the 20.45 from Leeds will reach KX? I know a very unfair question...you don't need to answer. Actually he's opting for going back to Leeds. makes sense!!!
It's interesting that Perth had no photos published in the middle of the North-bound platforms (7n+s) even though they were busy with loco changes and stock splitting and additions...even by WJV.
The overall roof (same designer as Carlisle) was wide at North and South end but narrower in the...

42 copies of various dates available on abebooks.co.uk from 61p +post etc. Of course, don't overlook the superb work of the 'disused stations' guys.
Plainly the likes of Railway Magazine (all available for public view at the NRM, though they appreciate a warning that you'd like to...
I have a completely wrecked copy of Tomlinson's, The North Eastern railway...Its Rise and development. Published 1914 but with loads of early prints, maps and documents...from early 19thC. Nowhere is there a mention of 'railroads'. So I can only guess you are viewing some sort of American...
