it would be a big job as it would also have to dive under the a55 Bangor bypass that leads onto the Britannia Br.also under the Felinheli bypass near the former site of Port Siding signalbox, not to mention a new bridge over the old main road in Felinheli,regional railways looked into this in...

to redouble the track across the Brit Br is possible however it would mean relocating the various pipes that utilities have placed on the former up line trackbed,in the 1978 timetable at about lunchtime there were 7 trains booked across the bridge in one hour so redoubling isnt required at the...

the plan is to build a big car park in the field on the down side at llanfairpwll,the proposed train times are xx 30 past the hour from LLangefni to LLandudno Junction and xx 30 returning from the Junction, 2 class 150s required.now there is a 200 million pound hole in the education budget I...

the idea behind the LLangefni reopening was that it would relieve congestion on the Britannia Bridge which is the only single carriageway part of the A55 , the idea was that there would be an extended car park at LLanfairpwll and this combined with a station at LLangefni would reduce the demand...

until the 7th century Shrewsbury had a Welsh name not an English one and was called Pengwern, as for the hypothetical Brummie signaller who moved to Machynlleth perhaps he would gain some kudos and a little self respect by integrating himself into the community by at least trying to learn some...

the vast majority of the population in the Penrhyndeudraeth area are Welsh speaking and they think in Welsh,not English,(anyone who doubts this should catch a train from Blaenau FFestiniog on a Saturday morning all the kids communicating in Welsh),it isnt a big ask for Network Rail to allow...

tbtc-what a simplistic world it is to just quote population figures for particular towns,once again you fail to mention the other factors,Bangor for example is the fourth (well equal fourth with Carwyntown) largest revenue generating station in Wales for many reasons- catchment area,large...

there is a perm speed restriction of 60 mph over Chat Moss,the rest of the route is 75 mph, i,m told that the speed was reduced to 60 years ago when concrete sleepers and continuous welded rail were installed as this caused some subsidance!

a pendo would knock at least 4 mins off Euston to Crewe. It will be interesting to see if the line speed will be upped from 90 between Chester and Crewe,if it is then a journey time of 16 mins ought to be possible between the two(it takes at least 45 mins by road) I wonder if anyone has noticed...

one of the reasons Crewe to Chester is being electrified is that demand for first class travel from Chester is at an all time high(vt are more than pleased with the present revenue they are taking) a change to pendos would mean a step change in the first class product(meals are far better for...

I have been travelling to Cardiff by car recently as Bangor station is undergoing refurb and parking is a nightmare,otherwise there would be a report here on wag 2 loadings.as far as first class travel is concerned I have only ever seen my a.m. Alun FFred Jones using standard and that goes for...

with all due respect to Wrexham, Bangor is the seventh biggest revenue generator in atw, it is fourth if you strip out the English stations,when it comes to revenue Wrexham isnt even in the top 12 of either list.(and even lower if you strip out the Bidston route), Inverness has a quality service...

well merlodlliw, i watched your mate Isherwood ask your question in the senedd the other day(the wording about two trains to Cardiff leaving Holyhead within 15 minutes of each other(blindly ignoring the fact that by Rhyl the time difference is 50 minutes) and he received a put down from Carwyn...

the 175s seem to be dirtier since refurbishment as some of the bins seem to have vanished and the nets for magazines on the seat backs have gone so people just dump rubbish on the floor.

as i have said before cardiff is the ninth most popular destination from bangor,also dont forget that some people also buy advances for the other hours service from bangor to bhm with a change at shrewsbury into the man-cdf,plenty of people travel from the coast to wrexham as a shopping service...

sadly mrs castle was involved in a lot of closures in the late 60s,unprofitable lines were given a 1 2 or 3 year grant to keep them going and allegedly these were inflated because br was using some of the money to cross subsidise other operations so when spending cuts came in the late 60s out...

the 0510 cdf to hhd is the quietest train of the day for through passengers ,it is the exception rather than the rule. if we turn the clock back 11 years we find at wrexham....central trains from birmingham to chester running only every 2 hours and half the time turning round at wrexham because...

opinion polls for htv(sorry i mean itv 1 wales) show that labour may well have a working majority in the assembly after may, andrew davies may well have his old job back... chester will always have stops from and to the coast as more than 25 per cent of all journeys to and from the n wales coast...

perhaps if some of you had been on the 1500 bangor to cardiff yesterday and seen how many people were making the through journey( about 30 from bangor alone.and no they werent football fans going to todays match,then you would stop carping about north south services,even with wag 2 it constitues...

i cant remember the name of the box but its the one between stranraer and girvan in the middle of nowhere!
