    Route taken by trains during engineering work, Sheffield - Leeds 6/7th August.

    Why didn`t VTEC also take the route from Leeds to Hare Park Junction via Crofton? Do their drivers not have route knowledge or was it line capacity?

    Tilbury Riverside question

    i hope this is in the right section;please move if its not. Please settle an argument between myself & a friend. I say the above station was formally closed to rail traffic in the early 1990s (1991 sticks in my mind) but my friend argues that whilst passenger trains no longer run there the bus...

    I also saw Def Leppard & Whitesnake recently,in my case in Manchester which is,of course,very handy for Victoria train & tram station. Whilst Def Leppard were my main reason for going I thoroughly enjoyed Whitesnake as well. I was quite surprised t how much of their (his) stuff I knew. Nothing...
