    5km (or 3 miles in real money) - hardly worth it... stick to buses

    Which is the best stretch of railway we have lost ?

    Woodhead. And the associated CLC route from Godley to Glazebrook - forming a big chunk of a complete end-to-end route from Liverpool AND Manchester to Sheffield

    The Transport Game (UK)

    tripping on the step at the entry to Epsom General banging our head we end up in A&E and are not discharged until 9.45AM Monday morning, at which time we then board the 10:00 Quality Line E5 service and get off at Watersedge, Hogsmill Way at 10:20

    HS2 Bill - Royal Assent?

    and when that Royal Assent is finally granted is it spades in the ground time? (fingers crossed)

    I live in Romiley and saw the Rail Replacement Buses last weekend

    Midland Railway and Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway - less than cordial relationship?

    would love to see that line reopened - sadly even less likely than Woodhead

    Stockport Tram-Train Strategy Report

    All change now it would seem - this may be possibly because the A555 road scheme has finally cleared its last approval hurdle - this road WAS a higher priority for Stockport previously

    Exact scale model of the UK rail network

    these kind of efforts should be reserved for Computer Simulations IMHO - the 40 odd miles of the my 2003 MSTS Woodhead Route were more than enough for me to put together - and of course a physical model would need to include the correct inclines... tricky

    Re-Opening Curves to Create New Travel Opportunities

    Couple near me. 1. Romiley curve (and extension into Stockport towards Tiviot Dale) as part of Metrolink extension 2. A southern curve near Reddish linking the Piccadilly-Marple Line to the GuideBridge-Stockport line (currently hosts the once a week Ghost train) Both of these reinstate a rail...

    Expanding Merseyrail/Metrolink/T&W Metro

    As a loop line to link SW and E/NE side of Metrolink I think it has value for journeys that don't start/end in City Centre - it is ONLY built over either side of Wilmslow Road and there is currently still, just, a way round - on SSC I posted a link to a current planning app which I think will...

    Stalybridge Station - 2 extra platforms

    Clicky... http://maps.google.com/maps?q=dinting&hl=en&ll=53.44858,-1.971536&spn=0.001057,0.003693&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=45.822921,87.539063&vpsrc=6&hq=dinting&radius=15000&t=h&z=19 I think here's the answer - the northern end of viaduct is double-tracked only until it gets on to the...

    Stalybridge Station - 2 extra platforms

    But sadly for you Ashtonites, its in a restrictive location connectivity wise as compared to Stalybridge.

    Glossop - Deansgate.

    but who remembers the 506's prior to 84?

    Stockport-Denton line closed

    I'd like to see a chord put in linking Belle-Vue to Brinnington with this line to allow services from Marple & Romiley into Stockport (replacing the old CLC line into Stockport Tiviot Dale)

    Man City need 2 more wins

    typical rag knuckle dragger even attempting to misspell City's name you can't even get it phonetically correct - the sheer arrogance of you lot amazes me - and lets not forget who was recently polled as the most hated brand in the uk? Oh yes, Yoo-nigh-tedd!
