    Altnabreac station and the various legal disputes around it

    I'm not acquainted with the owner of the de-bunking channel, but I strongly suspect that "allowing independent comment" was his primary motive. I am not up-to-speed with the workings of YouTube, but I'm given to understand that if he had gone about this particular mission in a slightly...

    Altnabreac station and the various legal disputes around it

    As of two minutes ago, it is. But all the comments The Couple perceive as negative have been deleted. The post count has gone from over 400 to (currently) 238.

    Altnabreac station and the various legal disputes around it

    Are there any members of any judiciary in the UK who they DO rate? As far as I can tell, The Couple don't have a good word to say about any of them. .....And, judging by past performances, it won't be long until they dispense with the services of the brief either.

    Altnabreac station and the various legal disputes around it

    I have read, elsewhere, that there was a case involving The Couple and the previous owners of the cottage. The case went against The Couple, and as far as can be ascertained no attempt has yet been made to make any payment. I don't know the validity of these claims, which is why I said...

    ......Which, judging by reports of their on-going lack of payment(s) of court-awarded costs, I believe they are unlikely to pay.

    Altnabreac station and the various legal disputes around it

    I sometimes get confused with all the goings-on in that particular neck of the woods, but I seem to recall reading a few weeks ago that the "neighbour" is due in Wick Sheriff Court sometime around now.

    Tyne & Wear Metro Fleet Replacement: Awarded to Stadler

    I haven't travelled the whole Metro system, but could that be because some of the platforms aren't long enough for 6-car units?

    Metrocar updates and withdrawals - Tyne & Wear Metro

    I appreciate that the Metrocars are ancient technology, and passenger seats right at the front are probably not compliant with current safety legislation, but I miss not being able to sit alongside the drivers cab and see where we're going. But apart from that, the 555s are definitely a...

    Leamside line exploring?

    I have recently completed the walk south from Victoria Viaduct to Tursdale. Starting with a scramble up the embankment from the footpath along the River Wear, the walk was straightforward as far as the bridge at Broomside Lane/Pittington Lane on the outskirts of Durham. Beneath the bridge...

    Leamside line exploring?

    I have walked the Washington section today, although I went the opposite way to that which I mentioned ^^^ above. I first got on to the trackbed about 400mtrs north of Victoria Viaduct, near the junction of the former Stanhope & Tyne Railway (now the Consett & Sunderland Railway Path). At the...

    Leamside line exploring?

    Good evening. I have just signed-up to the forum. I have a plan to start exploring my local disused lines now that I am retired. One of the first of my local lines I plan to explore is the Leamside line. Does anyone have any further updates on the current state of access to the line? I'm...
