Agent c you may not be pulling hundreds around in a car but you can in a plane.

"GB" if roads and railways can't be compared what about railways and aircraft?

In a car I can slow down or pull over, not so on a train Why not slow down a train? I'll grant you pulling one over is somewhat more difficult - you can't just pull over on a blind bend and put your hazard flashers on - you have to find a loop but then arguably the man on the blind bend...

It does not give you safe access points, places of limited clearance, places subject to adhesion problems, etc. But a combination of GPS, balises (for where GPS reception leaves something to be desired) and specialist maps does.

I take it none of you ever fly. And what do you do when you have to drive your car sometimes you've never been before? Yes, I know, neither is the same as driving a train but let's concentrate on flying for a moment. How do they find their way around an airport? A map and the mark one...

Slough-Windsor I suppose it depends on your definition but Georgemas Junction-Thurso and/or Wick. Barnham-Bognor Regis

Going back to the Japanese system it is basically a parcel delivery system (I think there are two companies). I found that many Japanese people travelling in Japan would buy something and the shop would package it beautifully (almost everything is beautifully packaged, even a small item) and...

Hong Kong has a plethora(!) of interesting transport. Heavy metro Heavy rail including through trains to China some of which are double deck. It's a pity they removed the old station in Kowloon that used to be next to Star Ferry. Buses of every size and shape including six wheel double...

Why don't you e-mail and ask how much for the downloadable only?

What, even the all Europe version?

You have to pay but......https://europeanrailwayatlas.com/

I would contact the C&T to see if they can suggest any transportation options. It might also be worth contacting a couple of the accommodation options. If either can offer transportation it will cost but I would prefer the C&T and pay a fair amount for that transportation. It might be...

Bristol can get a bit complex. It's probably worth looking at RTT (other websites are available) for Parkway and Filton Abbey Wood as well as Temple Meads. You can get trains coming from Wales, Swindon, Bath and Weston/Taunton and heading off on any one of those routes. Also considewr Yate...

Which is why I said "not totally relevant". However, it fits in with my comments about Sunday diversions. Not all trains from a given station always follow the same route.

You might find Castle Cary offers an interesting project. On a more technical note I think as you progress you might find the need to be able to show routes that only operate on specific days, particularly weekends. I'm also interested in the idea of trying to automate some of the process...

I've only seen one reference so far to what happens to the public and that simply says "don't tresspass". I would have thought this would be an opportunity to work with lineside landowners, collect a small fee and donate it to charities. Otherwise I suspect a mass tresspass and not just on...

At about 1100 today (Wednesday) there was a "breakdown train" on site. The crane had its' jib up but the stabilisers had not been deployed. There was a large group of the "Orange Army" apparently being briefed. There are 3 Mk1(?) based yellow carriages which I guess are mess and tool...

As a child (and young man) I lived near the river in Chiswick. 7 minutes walk to Chiswick station on the Hounslow loop. 55 (now E3) bus to Turnham Green for Chiswick Park (or a bit further on the bus Turnham Green station) and about 20 minutes walk to Gunnersbury on the NLL. Gunnersbury...
