Well both, depends where they want to go. It basically serves a big housing development. That would reduce connectivity at Shenfield with other services so is not the best idea.

As alive as Monty Pythons parrot. Unless you can run 100 mph freightliners, but that's too wild even for the speculative section. 1717929350 That's West Anglia, the not the GEML.

It also removes Chelmsford - Stratford passengers from the Norwich services. In the up direction in particular, especially Saturdays with families, many would try to get on a busy train and find themselves standing, with a comparatively empty train from Braintree just behind. While it means...

It would indeed differ between TOCs. The former Great Eastern section of Greater Anglia and Crossrail work the 8/2 pattern, (Crossrail copied it from GA as Gidea Park depot already worked it) but I'm not aware of anywhere else.

That's about it. Could try buying the night before if you are already in Ljubljana. There's an international travel window in the booking hall, but you don’t want to be stuck behind someone with a complicated enquiry. Some journey planners show this train as 08.30 from Ljubljana, but it left at...

Cockle Shed on track at Leigh-on-Sea during the 1987 storm remains a favourite.

Have a play on here which shows all sorts of train formations: https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/?&lang=en Should give you plenty of ideas.

The best advice I've seen when using the digital pass is once you've created your barcode by activating your first trip of the day, then use it in aircraft mode. Seems to work a bit better then. Strange you should lose all data, though. I did have to delete and reinstall the app once, but after...

Because the data for Avanti West Coast and LNER appears in various systems as reservation compulsory, that flags up on the Interrail planning app as a reservation fee. Ignore that, and just get a free reservation by whatever method suits you best, and enjoy full first class with breakfast.

And some quite complex locomotive diagrams on gala days, which adds to the fun.

Or just how read it, so apologies too. Yes you're right. Certain groups seem to have been taken for granted and sod it would be a natural reaction. Planners, Roster Clerks, and Control are fortunately made of sterner stuff!

It is NR engineering access hours. What they have they hold as they have no incentive to change. GA have been successful in challenging these in the past, this would seem a good case to pursue. 1712055445 More so Government, who were the idealists behind three timetables a year. That didn't...

There are some still around who know how to timetable properly, but this requires above all, time to do a methodical and accurate job. A combination of late decision making, whether it be DfT, NR, TOC directors or whoever, and diversion of staff onto strike timetables, is not giving those...

The signalling on the main lines through Stratford was designed for non stop running, long before the Olympics and everything that subsequently bought to the area. Today you would probably design it with more signals and a lower linespeed, like the electric line is. You could write the...

If it was it wouldn’t be the first time that building had caused trouble for the railway. Here’s an article from the Ilford Recorder about the great fire in 1959...

Cambridge United at home (15.00 KO) may not help options 2 and 3. Given those choices bus Witham - Billericay is perhaps the least worst.

Fitting tables should please the GA hares:

It was the December 2010 re-write that produced today's basic pattern, with some minor timing alterations along the way since. It wasn't arrived at by chance, a great deal of detailed discussion took place, and the cooperation of the freight companies was a major contribution. The GEML...

If it continues to run at the current levels of punctuality and reliability I won't be disappointed. Clean, on time, get a seat is repeatedly stated as what passengers want, they don't all carry stopwatches. Engineering allowances for Temporary Speed Restrictions are mandatory in the planning...

To be fair the work done by Cambridge box is excellent, it's a complex area to signal. There are many operational reasons why platforms get swapped that won't be obvious to Joe Public.
