Charlie Roes was part of Park Royal. Post WW2 there was an attempt of an AEC /Park Royal Roe joint venture. Quite a few Leeds buses were Park Royal, despite the original order being with Roe. Lets not forget the Tilling Bristol/Eastern Coach Works (Lowestoft) where most of the Tilling buses...

The one at leeds had a bloke come and wind it on a bit every so often it had an electric motor but a hole for a handle too. There were slots on the right so he could hang a number for platform alterations Leeds also had an early PIS. There were tv screens labelled 'Inter city departures', fed...

What are the platform lengths. 4 x 23m i assume. Or are some longer? I suppose I am asking if 5 x 23m would be possible?

London Transport and its predecessors had coal delivered to Lots Road Power Station by barge. Would they have been LT vessels?

On my facebook feed i get movies from India of trains. People and cattle walking over the railway, train doors open with people hanging out, people dicing with death on level crossings. If anyone has an accident on the railway by not looking out for themselves they are not classed as railway...

Maybe the place to look to balance the books is to look at costs. I have no idea where heritage railways spend money but there must be waste.

There is also the problem of errors in official documents made at the time. Some of the clerks would have been semi literate, lazy or impatient. I have found errors in official documents from the 19th century in my geniology research.

You can also do some less strenuous stuff which helps a bit. This is stuff I did when I was in the office. Park a little further from where you are going. In the works car park, at the supermarket etc. Use the stairs, not the lift. Do unnecessary short walks around the workplace. You have to be...

The midland railway in Yorkshire has some oddities A train from Carlisle woukd be an up train as far as Leeds. The up main was then the whitehall curve to Woodlesford and Wakefield The route from Bradford FS is I think, up towards shipley and stays up through the east curve. But the west curve...

What about acceleration? Maybe the slower train gets to 110 before the faster one, so some of the 125 capability is used up catching the slower train. And getting from 110 to 125 can take a while.

Struggling to think of any good ones in Yorkshire. There is Leeds - Transdev Harrogate (36, 7, X98,X99) Keighley 60, Idle A1 and Malton 743 & 740. Think they park up 1 or 2 buses in Tadcaster each night. Does that count as another depot?
