Just seen a Car parked on the guided busway south of Cambridge station. Nice Mercedes too.. Police turned up for an interview.. :-D

I was born and raised in Bishops Stortford. I am too totally mythed by this idea. I do believe a link to Harlow taking in Stansted Airport as a terminus and it would work. Proper trams though... This is the site http://www.bsulr.org.uk/Welcome.html

I've been told that in Rail magazine it's mentioned about improvements for XC on the route!? Is there a link or is this found only in Rail?

http://www.huntspost.co.uk/news/latest-news/guided_bus_could_provide_a_faster_link_between_peterborough_and_cambridge_1_1116787 Timetables show the bus averages 40 mins St Ives to Cambridge. On XC we average 50mins Cambridge to Peterborough so how the hell do they think it will be faster...

There is a sinking signal gantry on the Down before Daw Mill. Pretty sure the line speed will stay at 70.. The re-signalling is for capacity. First section in action Abbey jct to Coleshill end of this month? Cambridge now has some signal changes. Can't understand why they have to have a T for...

90!? That,ll be the day.....

Some of it yes.. The Lynn road has 90mph plus we have a small section on the Down near Dimmocks Cote at 90.. Why not 80-85mph then? I understand it's not time savings but if current timetable kept it would be useful when delayed... Providing Cambs power box don't ruin it... :roll::lol:

Its a real pity that XC havent milked this upgrade by getting line speed increases in the obvious places. Managed to secure a whopping increase from 30 to 35mph at Whitticare :lol: But there is scope for 100mph Nuneaton - Croft and 90mph Uffington to Peterborough...I think ill be retired before...

Gald im rest day. A few years back we had two units on the trot slide through Stamford.Both had started braking at Ketton....

Lol Old Timer. So true! They were great for cab heat...

The Southern slammers made perfect sense. I understand gangways on Suburbans. I just wasn't a fan. Speaking of fans. I had a gangway open at 70mph... Plus the endless rain water sweeping through let alone the ear piecing whistles above 60mph on a 317...

That's going to be an interesting Roller Coaster at Nuneaton. The curve upto the Arley route from WCML is already climbing..

It's being discussed in mess room talk that the route is starting to get rough in a fair few places. I'm sure a few Speed Restrictions will be in place soon... Oh great more talk of O.H.L... Only means more chaos.. No thanks.. Left all that.

Just realised i meant Peterborough Nuneaton already upgraded.... Although it would be nice to have four tracks from Syston to South Wigston...

Cambridgeshire County Council are asking local opinions in Ely and surrounding areas about options for a Bypass.. Too little too late. 23mill or 28mill for proposed bridges. The holding Lorry park seems to be best option. Ely already suffers and in these economic times i can't see how a bypass...

The route already has been upgraded. GBRF have a fair few diagrams that way. FL are doing road learning trips Peterborough Leicester last week.

Railjet often couple two sets of Pushpull.. It can work the same way as MU. I'm not on about adding single coaches in the peak..

Once again im being mis understood. It's a bit of a joke if people want a Thread deleted because it's a Drivers view of how traction has become. As its my mobile office i can't see why i can't view on a forum like this.. There are major design flaws in how units are designed. Not necessarily all...

Are any of you Drivers? These are my views doing my job.

At least GC kept on a great design that keeps it going for many years to come..
