p Did they ever consider reinstating the chord from the Bicester line that used to cross over Water Eaton Road on an overbridge? It may have been into a bay previously. I'm sure somebody knowledgeable will know.

There was a Rugby to Crewe service that stopped there last Saturday, albeit at 0816, rather than the usual 0721.

Not with a maximum of 106m for platforms and no end gangways.

Hi! Just seen another one trundle past Kingsbury, heading for the same destination. 5Z71, 65 mins early.

Today. 1M46 BMH-MAN. XC Voyager from Reading to Leamington Spa.

According to the HS2 info for Lancashire, both Preston & Lancaster will have HS2 trains stopping and will go directly to London via the high speed southern section. As it will be faster on the new stock, maybe the existing services will be curtailed at Manchester and with extra stops included...

It is a car park token. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=114162 it's the third post down.

Read post #4 from Sprinterguy. They would replace some of the EMT HSTs.

Advance warning of what's coming next?

I have yet to have a Solihull to London zone 1-6 family travelcard accepted at London Waterloo NR barriers. Either printed at the TVM or by the ticket office. It's definitely the barriers!

1M07 1544 Worcester Shrub Hill to Birmingham New Street uses the Camp hill line. My nearest "not-yet-been-a-passenger-on" line is the Kingsbury Junction to Whitacre junction stretch, less than a mile away. There are several passenger services booked that way, but not at a time that I normally...

If it is a day trip, how about a West Midlands Day Ranger? £27.30 or £18 with a railcard. You can choose whatever route you want!

I know that this is a bit of a delayed reply but a Birmingham PlusBus add-on ticket also includes travel on the Midland Metro.

Interesting to hear at 8:00 in the video that, unrestricted, the battery-powered train could reach 100mph! That could be quite a lively ride!

Everything seemed to be rammed yesterday. The Stansted's and Leicester trains from Coleshill Parkway into New st and the 10.50 (VT) from there to Euston was pretty full after Coventry. I normally use Chiltern from Solihull so it's nice to know that I chose correctly this weekend. I have...

My late wife and I had 2 tickets at €0 each to go from Birmingham to Dublin in Nov. 2002. It still cost us €46, after all of the taxes were added!

Bus-wise, the 465 route from Kingston on Thames to Dorking, is quite scenic at the Southern end. You can also join/leave it at Surbiton station or close to Chessington South station, if time is a constraint. I use it to get to Leatherhead for football matches.

I believe that similar incidents of fans being crushed were narrowly averted in previous semi finals at that venue. Spurs v Wolves was one incidence, I think. This should comprehensively remove any culpability of fans in the tragedy. The stand was simply not fit for purpose, for such high...
