How about Bedford - Northampton? Most of the trackbed is still intact, although bridges would need replacing, you will need a slight realignment at Olney and a few new level crossings in Northampton itself. You should be able to get 70mph quite easily, plus you could make quite a profit if...

Midland Main Line from London. Incredibly rare territory for 40s, might have to get creative with a start point though. Liverpool Street, South Tottenham curve and Upper Holloway to West Hampstead perhaps?

I fully expect several if not all of them to be pics of A4's. Therefore my vote will go the best one that isn't!

I think it would be a minimum of 4 coaches going by Grand Central's usage. They usually run with 5 coaches with power car at either end but I'm sure that they've run with 4 in times of difficulty. For preserved lines though, it might be different with the lower line speeds. However I know...

I didn't think there was one? Nothing on the branch to Dunstable, the main line had two single track bores either side of the main one when it was widened. I've never heard of it before.

I've tried searching for this but have sort of come up short. The best I could find is that trains aren't allowed to be split/coupled on anything more than 1 in 500 and new stations should be on the level, although reopened stations do get some leeway. Off the top of my head, the North end of...

I've been on two trains that have done this. One just clean forgot to stop at Cricklewood, there were no efforts it seemed to stop there. We were travelling North and the passengers only had a couple of minutes to wait for a train back at Hendon. Just before Christmas, I travelled on the...

Thank you very much!

Ladies and Gentleman, am I ok to do the following? Tomorrow I'll be heading into London on an off-peak travelcard Z1-6 using my Network Railcard. But, I need to get to Carpenders Park for 17:00 to collect something and come straight back. I know there are restrictions on leaving the capital...

Is Boston Docks still rail served?

I keep getting this: Destination directory albums/userpics/18238/ is not writable by the script!

A favourite of mine as well! Here's a few of my favourites including a video that I took: Tangmere speeding through Andover: http://youtu.be/5o26WD1vGcY Tangmere and Oliver Cromwell storm through Yatton: http://youtu.be/V8I0EYtuL9A Tornado on a test run: http://youtu.be/D3Sv-eAHV0U...

I think Blandford Forum would be closer.

About 10 years ago, after either a broken rail or a derailment at Hinckley, we were put on a bus from Nuneaton to Leicester. The bus was fine, the driver wasn't. The first query was asked as soon as we left the station. Leicester sign-posted left, we went right. Driver said that he always...

You also need to make sure the model is compatible with 2009.

Youthful power, steam loco, Tornado? Could be fun on a run down HS1...

Farringdon/Barbican - Smiths of Smithfield John Torode from Masterchef's place. Great tasting food at a great price. If you go on a weekday, the pies are legendary.

Ebbw Vale has definitely been done, as I was on it. 03.01.98 Hertfordshire Railtours - The Severn Vales. 43124+137. The only other thing I remember about the tour was noticing people walking the length of the train when we reached Ebbw Vale. I ignorantly questioned the sanity of these people, my...

I got a text saying that it had failed before departure. I don't know any more than that at the mo.
