Totally agree, which is why I was using Newark but 'officially' you can't expect a train to be held for you in either direction there. Having said that I did often change at Donnie southbound; one time I even travelled as far as Grantham and changed at Sleaford and Lincoln as it was a...

Nothing has changed in the last twenty years, it seems. I remember travelling between Edinburgh and MR in the mid 1990s making the connection at Newark NG. On one occasion the northbound GNER train left with people obviously running over the footbridge off the Lincoln train to try to catch it. I...

I was lucky enough to see one of the test runs from trackside and took a photo: https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/55/822/ I have said the location was Etruria but it could have been Longport.

The Yorkshire Dales National Park Centre at Hawes has a static display of preserved stock plus loco within the Dales Countryside Museum. http://www.yorkshiredales.co.uk/hawes-national-park-centre/ http://www.dalescountrysidemuseum.org.uk/

I found this one today: Lea Bailey Light Railway A former mine in the Forest of Dean. They use compressed air to power their locos and rail-based mechanical digger http://www.lblr.fod.uk/

There are a few webcams showing trains in Sweden. Here are the two based at SJ's Hagalund depot which is the largest maintenance depot in northern Europe. There are around 50 tracks in the depot and with 100 or so trains coming in for maintenance daily there is always something to see. However...

Here are some more from Scotland: Kerr's Miniature Railway, Arbroath Invergarry Station Saughtree Station Scottish Industrial Railway Museum/Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group National Mining Museum Scotland, Newtongrange Prestongrange Industrial Heritage Museum Craigiemains Garden Centre...

Yes, it looks more like a spring has started up probably due to local over-saturation in the underlying soil and the subsequent flow has swept away loose rock and soils. Otherwise one might expect to see the stream start higher on the hillside? Agree that some kind of drainage channel should...

How does a "bog burst" happen? Is it due to sudden deluge of rainwater over a very small surface area causing erosion as it cascades downhill or is it a spring? Looking at the NR drone photo it looks like a new stream has appeared on the slope quite close to another stream which flows from...

£72.86 per day-I suppose there must be a lot of restrictions? Why are few sold?

How much is an All Line Rover now? Last time I bought one was 30 years ago- I think it cost about £100...

The formation may not be that good along there as it is underlain by alluvium, silt or clay. I did take part in a survey to provide additional track drainage in 1998 near Bridge of Earn former station. Whether improved drainage alone is enough to raise the linespeed I don't know. Reinforcement...

Merry Xmas everyone! I would suggest that there are locations on the Borders Railway which have a potential for snow blockage. There are a lot of locations where there are gabion basket (stone-filled wire cage) walls supporting the sides of cuttings sometimes on both sides of the track-those...

Yes, that's the one-a secret stay behind outfit of specially trained local men often gamekeepers or others who knew the lie of the land. They were actually called Auxilliary Units but you are close enough. Your turn.

Could have been them but that is not what I was thinking of.

Nope, not that.
