    Shortest section of single track

    Thank you very much, It does help. It was, as you say, the issuing of a second token which complicated matters.

    Shortest section of single track

    Indeed Northbound at Crianlarich I agree that the single line between the points is part of the longer section past the second set of points. I also pointed out that southbound trains approach at the same time, so are the tokens issued to the drivers both to Crianlarich or is there another stop...

    Shortest section of single track

    Thank you anyway. Now, what about Dingwall :-)

    Shortest section of single track

    That is referring to admitting the second train into the platform. I was wondering about two trains, both with a token to Crianlarich approaching a converging set of points at the same time. Does the token section extend into the station or is there a stop point before the points. If so, does...

    Shortest section of single track

    What about Criananlarich? See photo, one set of points for the split to either side of the platform and one for a main junction between the Oban and Fort William lines. Northbound trains split and then depart for separate destinations, no problem you can visually see when the points have been...

    West Midlands Trains London - Rugeley TV service to be split

    What is happening is that the Wolverhampton - Walsall train leaving New Street at xx27 will now take the path of the xx20 to Rugeley (calling at Tame Bridge Parkway only) and the xx20 to Rugeley (the split off the Crewe train) will be the all stations to Walsall at xx27 At the moment if the xx20...

    I see from the LNR website (and the WMR one) that they have just received an award for the information campaign for the new (May) timetable!!

    GWR has published a national railway network map !

    If I was nit picking I would point out that not all anagrams are accurate. e.g. Odd Nudist should be Odd Nudest (Duddeston) but it's funnier if I don't.

    Most/least successful recent large infrastructure project?

    New Street is far from as dark as it used to be. Unfortunately I can't find a photo showing the unwelcoming "waiting rooms" that used to occupy the centre of all platforms, blocking views and light. The old Post Office ramps at the Wolverhampton end have also gone to give more room at that end...

    The Terror of Class 153 Rail Travel

    Looks like the rear four coaches are empty (locked out of use?)

    GWR Dec 19 timetable

    Apologies if this has already been covered, I had a quick look through and couldn't see it. From December the Barnstaple line is due to be self-contained using 3 coach 158s. RTT shows this as running between Barnstaple and St. James' Park. I think St. James' Park up platform is only two coaches...

    Trivia: Which stations have numbered platforms which are unserved?

    Thank you for that. It has been a few months since I have been and I always seemed to be on 3 or 4 (I think once on 5)

    Trivia: Which stations have numbered platforms which are unserved?

    Platforms 2 & 7 at Skegness. (5 & 6 are not used much either!)

    LNR new WCML timetable, May 2019 (in open data feeds)

    To me, the Chase line is between Walsall and Rugeley. Currently these trains are 350s (to fit into this marvellous timetable (!)), only the Walsall-Wolverhampton are 323s. (Possibly a few exceptions). Beat me to it VT390:-)

    LNR new WCML timetable, May 2019 (in open data feeds)

    In effect then, swapping the xx.20 to xx.27 and vice versa. Wonder if that means the odd 323 on the Chase line?
