The capital-intensive nature of tram projects require large numbers of passengers, which can only be achieved by connecting major sources of business (I'll call them traffic points) so that each service turns over its passengers several times, collecting several fares.The original route was...

I think hedge clearing would have to have been completed by Saturday because March 1st is the official start of nesting season.

Depends where you're going. The most popular journey is to Edinburgh and 3 trains every 2 hours seems reasonable, 1 lner, 1 XC, and 1 TPE.

Chicken and egg. The South Sub is the only non-electrified section between the ECML and the Central Scotland freight depots so freight from Teesside or any other Eastern port has to use diesel. Unless a 99 could cope. The new feeder at Currie was partly to provide enough power to let freight...

the Northumberland coal fields stretched almost to Alnmouth

I'm fairly certain that modern brake pads don't contain asbestos and anyway EVs largely use regenerative braking.

I know. We're sitting north of York waiting for a platform Fortunately our connecting train is behind us.

Having completed Church Fenton are they working towards Leeds or have the squad moved to another work area?

OT but I believe SNCF gets their ballast from Glensanda super quarry on the West Coast of Scotland!

Originally there was to be a new depot S of Stirling but there was local opposition and stabling in the station saved money but presumably means that only cleaning can take place. I assume that they have to visit either Eastfield or Millerhill for toilet discharge and water.

Now being replaced because they are unsuitable for persons with reduced mobility

Judging by the photo there was no need to replace for the wires - the clearance seems more than adequate. But it clearly needs replace on safety grounds - it wouldn't support the necessary raised parapets

That would be the reconstruction cost Won't include lost revenue cost of diversions etc etc

They would probably use batteries.

They were in Oban on Sunday looking to recruit

Are these being jointly funded with Northumberland?

In my experience the frequency from Edinburgh to London has always been twice that from Glasgow. It has been sustained by the large amount of traffic to and from the intermediate stations. I recall back in 66/7 getting the 08.00 from KX which would be almost empty at the start but well-loaded...

It's likely that the HML will be closed by flooding at Dalguise - the Tay is near the safety level.

Remember that Scotrail are in the same process for very similar trains
