    Department for Transport launches CrossCountry franchise consultation

    Coleshill Parkway can just about accommodate a 5-car consist. I witnessed that during the Sutton Park diverts. The 6th car of a double, 3-car 170, was off the platform.

    GB Railfreight in 'locomotive acquisition' talks

    It's what power it puts down on the rail that matters and 60's have a little more in this respect. Class 66 locos are as powerful as a class 58 but substantially more than both at the rail.

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Tax avoidance is legal. However, if you mean tax evasion, then I am in full agreement.

    The Weymouth & Channel Islands Steam Packet Co Ltd operated from 1856 to 1908.

    Leeds Tram Article

    https://laqm.defra.gov.uk/public-health/pm25.html This article seems to consider PM2.5 particulates as the more concerning, health-wise, in urban environments.

    Quite close. Only 3.4 million difference ;)

    Birmingham New Street refurbishment

    Use the 'b' end of the platforms to avoid doing that. That's what I was told on the gateline when I enquired.

    Train did not stop at intended station

    http://www.opentraintimes.com/schedule/P46330/2017-12-05 Is this the service? I do not think that the Cheddington stop was a booked one.

    Crossrail and High Speed 1

    I believe that the OP was suggesting an interchange, rather than sharing tracks. The cost of such an interchange would have blown the budget somewhat! The DLR will suitably accomplish the task for those averse to walking or unable to.

    East-West Rail (EWR): Consultation updates [not speculation]

    Having two Piccadilly line stations nearby, with footfall of ~ 2 million each p.a. may have a lot to do with it.

    Class 373 Eurostar withdrawals

    My son said that it looked as like the tables and seats were missing. I took a video from the overgrown trackside but the low light levels, combined with tinted windows, makes it difficult to say. My son took some photos so I will have a look at those. Edit: I have looked at a short video he...

    Class 373 Eurostar withdrawals

    I took my son to watch. The light wasn't that great as it was before sunrise. Coupled with using an iphone 5, the quality isn't very good. There were at least 6 or 7 other attendees so the internet should be awash with video and stills by now!

    Chiltern Train on WCML

    If you spotted it around 10.30am, it was likely 5A65 0923 Wolverton Centre Sidings to Wembley Lmd.

    Is Blake Street a staffed station on a Saturday?

    That is correct. I always travel from there when using a Daytripper ticket. It's a lot easier to find a parking space there (than other local stations) at weekends.

    Over running engineering works in trent valley

    Indeed. That was my intention. Road lowering would be undesirable as the location is prone to flooding. Raising the trackbed would be cost-prohibitive.

    Over running engineering works in trent valley

    To be fair, there has been a lot of preparatory work, on the site, for a number of weeks. The possession will have been solely for the replacement of the 2 bridge spans. I hope the new bridge has a little more clearance as the old one was just 4.4 metres.

    Will Kingsbury (North Warwickshire) station ever reopen

    It would be back to it's original location, before the Kingsbury short-cut was constructed. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It is the Phase 2 line that passes by Kingsbury. It runs to the east of the M42, crossing the Derby line north of the Kingsbury branch junction.

    Will Kingsbury (North Warwickshire) station ever reopen

    I would say it is 99.999999% No. Land, by the Trinity Road bridge, has been set aside and protected in the Local Authority Plan but an endless catalogue of events is required to facilitate a new station site. Paul, the census figure is for the whole parish. The village population is...
