Is the absence of WOP HL in table 126 in the Dec 2019 timetable meaningful? LL is fine - table 57. The "Additional Notes" pdf just mentions T57 as well.

Keeping this, roughly, on a railway theme: may I propose Elgar House, a monstrous 1960s building plonked right in front of the rather lovely Worcester Shrub Hill station?

Given that software like Hadoop allows you to search for and find the proverbial needle in a haystack and is essential for deep-mining of data, then I would expect that it is. Or at least should be.

Just for the moment keeping to the T&W order, and assuming that the A5 will be made dual, a couple of questions: what is the maximum gradient that is reasonably permissible at a bridge? Whether for a standard heavy rail vehicle or a PPM ... If the A5 were to be dualed, could the bridge...

Gobowen to Oswestry is entirely feasible and, I guess, at a relatively low cost. I would suggest that a PPM would be the unit of choice, integrating with the services at Gobowen. A couple of other points: as the railway was never actually closed, just mothballed, would it would have...

Any idea for the best tickets for a single from Formby to March on the 16th July ? Ideally not via London though ...... ( and no railcard....) ( Or the 15th if my wife can get to March before the Men's final ! )

Gobowen .... WAG special.

Yup .. I discussed this very issue with my local county councillor and he came back later and confirmed that the design allows a second platform to be built if redoubling occurs.

Had this from a local councilor: "When I first saw the early stages of the new bridge being built, slightly to the West of the Railway Bridge on Crookbarrow Way, I assumed it was the new Bridleway Bridge. As time went by and the construction grew, the dimensions of the bridge suggested that it...

Might as well be done with it and construct a boat lift from the canal past Wickes to Shrub Hill & then run a shuttle boat service from Lowesmoor wharf ( I doubt that Viking boats would mind) ...... about as sensible as the original idea !

Bit of a detour that ... The West Mid Tavern is on the route :-) Must admit my personal preference is the Plough which ran, until recently, the Paul Pry ...

How about just try walking? Unless you are disabled then that is the easiest suggestion..... You could always stop off at the West Midland Tavern for sustenance ...

"Important" is such a vague term so I am going to define it as "the station which if it went TU would cause the maximum inconvenience, either directly or indirectly through knock-on effects, to the greatest number of people" then it has to be New Street.

I have spoken to my friend and they have sent an email to GWR detailing what happened. I will let the forum know what is the result.

They didn't even get to Oxford. That is the point. The carers were paid for the time that they were asked to do so, even though the reason for them being employed didn't actually happen.

They still needed to be paid for their time. Nasty things called contracts. Let's put it this way: their services were only required for the train journey and the visit to the hospice in Oxford. So my friend was out of pocket.

There is a huge difference between, what I would call, "normal" alternative transport and that required for someone in a 200kg (yes) electric wheelchair. His disability means that he has virtually no movement at all and requires assistance at all times ( normally from his family but this time...

No they wouldn't have been. They were specially brought in for this trip. Let me explain. My friend has a fixed package which allows them to bring in outside carers as and when needed. They are not full-time employees of my friend, so by having the extra carers brought in for this has...

A friend of mine has a severely disabled son who is confined to an electric wheelchair. This morning they had booked a disabled space on the 12:10 from Worcester Shrub Hill to Oxford so that they could attend an event at Helen and Douglas House which is a specialist hospice & palliative care...
