Thank you. It appears she can now go on holiday and unless Parliament changes the law, UK would be out on that date?

Help me understand. Parliament voted to reject the EU deal, then voted not to leave without a deal. But that is non binding? Does that mean May can pull the plug on March 29? Or if she does nothing the UK is out without a deal that Parliament now opposes?

Just commenting as an impartial observer, I am reminded of the line from the song Hotel California, "You can check out, but you can never leave". Best of luck.

We really wanted to take the train, but I think you have a point. Just too bad for us, but they do have to do maintenance sometime.

Thanks all for the advice. We will plan on LNER this time.

Thanks for that. I was searching Central so the Edinburgh service did not show. Last time I was on East Coast they only had a trolley service in Saturday. Is that still the case?

My wife and I will travel May 11 weekend. Lucky me, engineering works north of Carlisle that weekend with bus substituted. The fare is eye watering, no specials. Looks like we will have to travel via Edinburgh LNER. Is there any way to buy a through ticket via Edinburgh these days? With two...

I can not find a source where Trump said that, but he says so many things ,I may have overlooked. Newsom has certainly accused him of that. In the end, it really doesn't matter what Trump said. The money already spent is gone. Ron Batory, Federal Railroad Administration, has said California...

We will not know the final bill until or if they even construct the mini line. The consultants and lawyers sure made a pile though. The old saying "the longer it takes, the more we make" applies. "Shovel ready" in 2009. Now the federal government wants its money back. Guess that will depend on...

Unfortunately most station stops do not have passing tracks, although there is some multi track, not nearly enough. Caltrain also has plans to add even more trains. Too much show for the tent. There are so many crossings that you would have to elevate the railroad for long distances. Local...

Yes, the Central Valley portion will be finished under this proposal. North of Merced, trains will still have to travel over BNSF which is not and will not be electrified. Probably zero thought given to this yet, but that probably means use of existing conventional equipment. South of...

About time. A bunch of highway guys led by political bureaucrats trying to build a railroad. To be fair, anyone trying to build anything in the US has monumental environmental and legal obstacles to overcome, particularly in California.

What profits?

The only passenger train which traverses Cajon. Between Victorville and San Bernardino it averages about 30mph.

The closest Metrolink station to Victorville is San Bernardino, 40 miles distant.

Los Angeles is 84 miles from Victorville. You are already beyond Cajon at that point and less than 3 hours from Las Vegas drive time. Hard to imagine many people pulling off the highway by the time they pass Victorville.

Correct. A bagel must be boiled then baked. Simply baking a bagel is known as "circle bread". And despite complaints, the NY Subway is still the way to go. About 90% of the transit trips in America take place in the New York metro.

You hit the jackpot with ess a bagel. Best in New York and that's saying something. From Grand Central you can either take the Metro North line to Poughkeepsie along the Hudson River or the New Haven line to Stamford. While at Grand Central you may want to visit the Oyster Bar, one of New...

I have just read your report. As a native New Yorker let my apologize for your experience at Willets Point Station. There is access at that station during Mets games, although a bit convoluted. Access is provided on the south side of Roosevelt Avenue across the street from the stadium. Indeed a...

I agree, a perfect fit for trains going south of Washington that now have to change power. It would be theoretically possible to work around the freight issue on the NEC, although not easy. Once south of Washington on CSX or NS, no way. Same issues west of Albany and Harrisburg. You never know...
