Most High Street banks now open on 'Bank' holidays. Admittedly the smaller branches won't and there is sometimes a reduced service and or shortened hours. But I've been working bank/public holidays for at least the last three years.
I'm having a bit of a chuckle reading through this and listening to "Go With The Flow" by Queens of the Stone Age!
I always find these useful when camping...

I'm sure someone will give a more complete answer but here goes. I believe the signal in question was for the connection on to the mainline, you used to be able to see it on passing trains with the signal lit for years.
That section of track was the first bit removed so that the car park...
The last one from St. Pancras towards Bedford on a Saturday is usually good for a fight and some vomit. And if you're really lucky, some idiot will set off a fire extinguisher too.
Why not? Most folk would still use Euston for a direct trip to Manchester. But Sheffield to London via the ECML would be as quick as the Midland Mainline with a reversal at Doncaster. And then you have the flexibility of routes from the East towards Manchester.
They could have ignored the Midland Main Line, used the line through Victoria, round the corner to Rotherham and on to Doncaster for the very soon to be electrified East Coast.

It was bought for...

Now that I drive a faster car, I generally drive slower to conserve petrol. If I stick to 60-65, I can average 45-50mpg on a good motorway/A road run. It drops to 30-35mpg if I'm doing 80-85mph. i used to drive the M1 during 2am-6am, if lorries are restricted to 60, then most of them must be...
I work in a bank and see this a lot. Fortunately, since Chip&Pin was introduced, it has decreased a lot but I have heard of skimming devices on ticket issuing machines. As soon as the banks/card issuers install a new security device, the fraudsters turn to another scheme. Now we have to put up...
