    Langley - Newbury Park

    Thanks for the prices and details. I'll make sure I walk out and back in somewhere on the Loop as I think that maximum time is too tight.

    Langley - Newbury Park

    I guess I'd have to tap at Stratford changing from train to Tube. Was going to just go round the loop and not leave the platforms. I'd go earlier in the day but time constraints.

    Ayr-Stranraer: Glenwhilly

    I'd like to know where locals would most like Stranraer to be situated in an ideal world.

    Langley - Newbury Park

    What is the correct contactless fare for a journey beginning after 6pm on a weekday from Langley - Stratford (London) then Central Line around the Hainault Loop and back to Langley?

    Gathurst has an expensive toilet

    'World leading' and 'X Architects' gives me red flags. It doesn't look like it is anything more than a small one room building. I can't see any flair or touch that would make me think 'world-leading' like Norman Foster, Le Corbusier etc... I will have a look when it's open and see if there's...

    Network Rail 'lobbying'

    NR shouldn't need to lobby ministers for any reason. In the lead up to a change of government, the layman would expect all election parties to have at least one meeting with NR to discuss future plans but not to entice them to come to a meeting with a slap-up meal etc... It's not being naive...

    Network Rail 'lobbying'

    I don't understand why you need to lobby someone you must surely speak to on a regular basis. I presume NR and DfT speak almost every day... if not, what on earth is going on at the top level??

    Ticket barriers at Wigan North Western

    A lot of people also use the Northern services that call at Wigan North Western that can disgorge many people. Lots of mention of Avanti at Wigan NW but hopefully rebalanced now with a Northern mention. Northern call at both Wigan stations. Personally, I think Wallgate should build over the...

    Have the owners of Dunrobin Castle ever been as awkward as the owners of Altnabreac cottage?

    moderator note-spit from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/no-trains-to-call-at-altnabreac-for-the-foreseeable-future.257526/ Whilst the owners of Dunrobin Castle were proponents of this railway line, who owns the platform (and adjacent path/land to allow passenger access) at Dunrobin...

    What counts as a destination (Northern 500+ Destinations Advert)

    There is a recent ad I see online and on TV from Northern Railway promoting 500+ destinations. Advert: (Advert for Northern Railways showing people going to the city, seaside, commuting or days out with clear reference to 500+ destinations) Yes. Northern do call at 500+ stations but I would...

    IIRC Machynlleth waiting room has an old style CRT screen.

    Cambridge South new station opening

    If some of the station was built with private investment, then I am okay with the roof as an addition to the design of the station. We live in cash-strapped times so was surprised to see such a big project when watching Geoff's video.

    Cambridge South new station opening

    I was hoping Cambridge South would have been built to have a bit more of a modular, cheaper and simpler feel like other successful new stations like Horden, Headbolt Lane, Warrington West and Low Moor.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    This is very-outside chance of possibility but perhaps the West is using disinformation too to wrong foot Putin. The verbal assault on Zelenskyy was planned but what if the West planned it. It would require several hundreds of people and the Trump to outwardly behave as normal but behind...

    Stuck in euston

    Whilst it would only get you to Birmingham, when I sniff problems at Euston, I dash to Marylebone. That time of evening, I'd still be tempted to get to Moor St then pray to the God's as you walk to New St.
