I've found what appears to be a relatively recent photo that shows that Platform 7 still had signs: Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/uktrains/comments/1hyvpx9/does_this_platform_7_at_preston_ever_get_used_if/

Is that a recent change? When I used Preston regularly about ten years ago or so it still had Platform 7 signage.

I wish I could be surprised that he's pushing the link between vaccines and autism, but... it's all just so sad. And as for the "we didn't have such a high rate of autism" we really shouldn't expect more from the man who said of Covid that if they didn't test as much then there wouldn't be so...

If anything, the fact that it's a through station makes it more difficult to redevelop/rebuild than at a terminus like St Pancras. FWIW, Preston Station is (only) Grade II listed so it wouldn't be impossible to gain listed building consent if there was a sufficiently good case. I doubt they'd...

While listed status is a significant impediment to redevelopment, it doesn't make it impossible.

I think the pun was that Scotrail "made the call" to have trains "not call" at Altnabreac.

I believe it is Network Rail.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that a result of getting an act of Parliament to build a railway was that the company gained the power to compulsorily purchase land that they needed. I can't see why they wouldn't have done so and leased(?) the land instead.

Oh, a delay. What a surprising and unexpected ocurrence.

I was thinking the same thing. That said, I don't think that the boat club would object to an injection of cash in exchange for a small bit of their boat storage area, or a couple of car park spaces. Street View of the car park: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YN8KatEu1U4PH36D9

I think it's doable with judicious use of twin-track cantilevers as there's more clearance on the southern side of the line.

In an environment where money is a limited resource, it is hard to argue that it should be done otherwise than to spend the money where it will benefit the greatest number of people possible. From a hard-nosed perspective, it would be cheaper and provide greater overall benefit to simply...

Without having to find the appropriate sectional appendix, does anyone know the line speed through the area as that would likely have a big impact on any risk assessment for an at-grade crossing?

It's not entirely clear which of those claims was made pre vs post-employment.

I'm not abroad, but I do happen to know a Swiss person who is staying here for a bit. I shall ask her.

I don't think the comment was meant as a serious suggestion of something positive for the GOP.

If it's done in good faith it makes sense. The point of a grand jury isn't to determine guilt or innocence, but rather for the prosecution to present the evidence that they have so the grand jury can say "Yes, there's enough here to bother with a trial". How it has gone wrong in this case is...

Doesn't seem as long ago as ten years. Fairly sure that it was around the time that the new PA system went in since that does improved "The next train at platform..." announcements. I also may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure it rang for all four platforms, not just platform 4.

Indeed. Loyalty schemes (eg. Tesco Clubcard) give similar benefit to the customer (basically money back later) but give the company way more information about your spending habits. Hence I get money off coupons for things that I buy regularly, but not for things I buy every week since they...

Interestingly, Argos is about to change hands again: Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpw9yrl4p2qo It will be interesting to see if the number of locations outside of Sainsbury's shops increases.
