No,but believe me,the main focus for regional railways will not be whats being proposed,it will be hanging on to what we've already got!.

Now you see them?....Now you don't!!,SHAZZAM!!:)

Its not going to happen,it will be curtailed in the spending review.....

Remember its the 'Wayfarer', formerly known as the 'Peak Wayfarer',you want,not the Derbyshire Wayfarer .

You have to remember Ajax this was a time when there was hundreds and hundreds of carriages and engines on the network so the idea was to use all the spare stock for these Merrymakers at weekend.If you looked in the paper there would be a huge list of them and you would get a little pink...

You are safe in that assumption Rob:wink:.Jon,most regional and provincial services exist on subsidy in any case,except that this is supplemented by the fare box by commuters Monday to Friday and to some extent on Saturday.This type of income does not appear on Sunday so if people want a Sunday...

How does £10 for the lot sound?...A Wayfarer ticket covers the whole area by bus and if you are on the Buxton line,it covers that by train.

It has nothing to do with people working,you will nearly always get people to work the extra day,the problem is that funding has to be obtained,and generally this is from the local authority.The Preston Omskirk line has been mentioned and this is a case in point,NWR and Northern would run...

Right I'm positive you can't have Colne or Matlock,the former went to Keighley and the latter went to Buxton then to Manchester and the other two I'm pretty sure were shortened during the Beeching axe,what about Glossop?....Glossop is a defo!.

I think a pretty good comparison between old and new has to be Manchester Victoria and the 'new' fails miserably in my opinion.Concrete and glass may be functional,and you could argue thats what a railway station should be,but these are gateways to our cities and towns and as such should look...

Thanks for that OT,as usual you are a diamond!.Its no big deal just a difference of opinion on the connect forum,can you tell me what module or standard its in,he is bound to ask, cheers again, Dave.

OT,quick question mate..where does it say a COSS must have a red flag or lamp in the four foot when taking a T2 apart from a T2A, many thanks Dave.

Why does he do it?,because if he didn't ,then people would complain,they'd misread his reports and blame him when they'd got it wrong because they'd probably skim read it in the first place.In these days of litigation and compensation for the slightest thing,and every word open to interpretation...

Ahhh Stalybridge Buffet,spent the new millenium in there,well I actually spent it throwing up at home,but I'd spent a brilliant afternoon in there and various other establishments in Stalyvegas....just overdid it a bit:oops:.The Prince of WAles opposite Foxfield station is an absolute must if...

I have to agree,the site of Kenyon Junction is still there and is really the only practicable path for Leigh to reopen.However this route would mean omitting Tyldesley and the ever growing suburb of Ellenbrook. The problem is,the 'horseshoe is now blocked at Monton, which of course would have...

This is a great line with a bit of everything.It hugs the coast for long parts of the journey so has great views of the sea.It also has some lovely countryside looking in land.From a railway point of view,it still has many signalboxes,stations and a few sidings.Obviously its all down to personal...

Your not the first to get the two mixed up OT:wink:.Oddly,if my memory serves me correctly,according to Tim Spicer's book,Sandline,which I think Simon Mann was involved with at one point was indeed involved in Papua New Guinea,albeit under different but just as chaotic circumstances....

Papua New Guinea does indeed have oil,but I'll think you will find that Simon Mann was actually released from Equatorial Guinea which is in Africa.

The 'Harrington hump' has been developed to sort out the low platform problem.Basically its a purpose built two way ramp that has a small platform in the middle at train door height.Its far cheaper than raising the whole platform conventionally.Its called the Harrington Hump because that is the...

You were wrong about the loadings though:wink:
