I don't think it's even an unofficial station cat there, but my girlfriend and I had a lovely time patting a cat that showed up on the northbound platform at Kew Gardens when we visited a year ago!

I see. Is there a webpage/document somewhere outlining what all the bus changes for the Marathon will be?

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but what's up with this apparent one-off listing on bustimes.org? https://bustimes.org/services/226-prestonpans-circular-seton-sands Run by Lothian Buses in ECB territory, only on Sunday 28 May 2023. "Free shuttle bus service".

I imagine it would be very easy for someone from the other end of the country who isn't a railway nerd to get the Hayes-es mixed up. Visiting family in West London who live in an area called Hayes and say they'll meet you at the nearby train station, if you look on a ticket machine and there are...

Oh, I meant more in the context of the speculative proposals in this thread to isolate the southeast Manchester suburban network. I was thinking about how many of those suburban trains would terminate at Chinley and how many at New Mills, with none extending further along the Hope Valley.

I gather that would be a single line and single platform. Would you be able to get 2tph down there or would you continue turning 1tph (and any future extra tph) at New Mills as currently? I suppose there's an argument the link would only justify 1tph anyway.

As this is the Speculative forum I should stress I don't believe in the following proposal at all, but out of sheer curiosity: what's the terrain like where the lines via Marple and Hazel Grove meet to the southeast of New Mills? I'm envisioning a New Mills Junction station... That way the...

I'm planning a trip from the Central Belt to the Far North Line. The first train northbound to Inverness is scheduled in at 1029 and the Wick train departs at 1041. However, the 1029 arrival is often delayed on the Highland Mainline. Scotrail told me on Twitter they "probably" wouldn't hold the...

I presume one of Beckton/Thamesmead will get the Stratford trains and the other the City trains. If this DLR extension continued to Abbey Wood I'd suggest Abbey Wood-Stratford as it'd probably be quicker to the city from Thamesmead by changing at Abbey Wood. However it looks like the extension...

Nice map! A minor correction: you have the 747 going from the M90 junction on the east of Queensferry to the A9000 Forth Road Crossing along B924 Bo'ness Road—this road has no connection to the bridge! Instead the 747 takes A904 Builyeon Road to Echline Junction and serves the Slip Road bus...

Also, people from North London find having a tube connection to Camden Town quite useful!

Long-term, surely this will need to be addressed for accessibility purposes. I would suggest a solution inspired by the Harrington Humps: raise one section of the platform to Overground train height and lower another to Bakerloo line train height. Presumably it would be possible to identify two...

So what do you do about Chesham?

Hi all, is there a site/document somewhere that lists the PVR for Lothian bus routes, similar to this website https://londonbuses.co.uk/menus/rl001-100.html ? If not, are there any tricks for calculating those numbers myself?

How reliable is that report of Feb 2nd opening date? As in, is it worth booking tickets?

Absolute pie-in-the-sky, but if money were no object would it improve the rail network to connect EWR in the Cambourne direction to the ECML in the Peterborough direction? This might enable a faster time between Cambridge and Peterborough on the long-distance XC, a new...

Superficially, without any local knowledge of either, the Stockport–Stalybridge line reminds me of the Bondy–Aulnay-sous-Bois line in Paris, connecting two mainlines out in the suburbs. That line has been converted to tram Line 4 using tram-trains, running either the length of the old alignment...

Unless those reversed at Sutton I think they'd have to head all the way back into London (Victoria or London Bridge)??

And only in the Kyle –> Mallaig direction?

Is this true? Is it only valid on certain ticket types? Or if ferry/bus times allowed could I just buy an Edinburgh–Mallaig return and travel Edinburgh–Glasgow–Mallaig–Armadale–Kyle–Inverness–Edinburgh (obviously paying separately for Mallaig–Armadale and Armadale–Kyle)?
