Yeah, can't see any issue with that. Makes life a bit brighter!

Good man!! :)

About costs; how much did the reinstatement of the 2nd platform at Gowerton cost? The passenger figures since they started to provide a decent service have patently demonstrated that there was massive suppressed demand (which wasn't really a surprise to us locals - reopening Cockett would...

Doesn't something similar get mooted every few years... and then quietly disappears? The Swansea District Line would be very handy for alot of things but as @ChiefPlanner pointed out, has suffered from years of under-investment. I can't see this happening as it would cost... alot. As to...

I'd like to see my local port (King's Lynn) reconnected to the network... but doubt it will be anytime soon. It doesn't have the capacity to make it worthwhile and also, the Fen Line being optimised for passenger services means pretty much the regular sand train from Middleton Towers... and...

It's SUCH a shame that you can't do that with Hunstanston/King's Lynn (where I live). Would go a long way to solving the summer gridlock on the road down there! Anyway, that's not even any form of line at the moment, let alone a preserved one... until someone decides it might be worth doing...

Whenever I read these things, I always add 'of those surveyed' in my own head, which you can take as 'the figures have been massaged a little'. Not saying that anything underhand is going on - it's just that surveys such as this will never present a complete picture (for which Starmill makes...

True. Can't go wrong with that. Also, makes it relevant to the journey in hand.

Sounds like an expensive version of Puppies At Xmas (tm) - we've got a rescue who was one of them. Interestingly, when Harry Potter was a thing (well, a bigger thing than it is now), certain parents of a certain wage bracket did the same thing with owls... cue tons of abandoned owls when said...

Jokes aside, I think the question should be what actually constitutes a good name. The inter-industry ones are pretty dull (though no doubt serve a purpose); racehorses/famous trains from yesteryear are either irrelevant or contrived sounding. Not sure what that leaves -...

You're right. No, no there was not. Back to the racehorses then.

Yeah, I get that... just hardly seems worth mentioning, does it? Industry DECADE on the other hand, well, now we're talking...

If there was a prize for boring, that would probably win.

My, they look neat :smile: (as in 'tidy', that is). Nice bit of modelling too. While the spotter in me likes to see these things from time to time... when will some of them become life expired? Surely they can't run forever? I'm talking mechanicals, rather than economics, here. Also, why did...

So with the possible reemergence of parcels/mail traffic on 769s... reckon they could stuff in a couple of sleeper compartments? I reckon a few tip up bunks (say 12-14) per unit would be doable. Wipe clean, of course.

Yeah, mine only went to 10. Sad times.

Not going to pretend that I understand exactly how the wavelength of certain colours affects others... but I can see your point.

A case of Best Laid Plans, I think...
