Think its undergoing some sort of upgrade. As far as I can tell it needs brakes fitting to the cars that will come on if the cable breaks. I assume something like the Otis kit in vertical lifts.

These 2 bus shelters are Ambleside 'Bus Interchange' Ambleside used to have a bus station and a garage.

Colne 3 bus shelters ( so a little larger than New Mills) but only 1 is busy, with Trawden/Barnoldwick/Keighley/Skipton - Colne - Burnley services so 7 an hour weekdays daytime. But buses going East go from Market Street. https://goo.gl/maps/utgaxD2cCYvgQFAR8

did you ever get the north curve at Hatton? I failed that one when i lived nearby. I am not sure I got all the 4 curves Soho - Perry Bar. Never did Lifford Curve. Never did Small Heath - New Street tho I did do Saltley - Kings Norton when they rebuilt a bridge on the New St - Stetchford line...

It used to be a useful link for Journies like Leeds - Crewe. Ran hourly to connect with Trans Pennine trains. I went for an interview at the college in Stafford in 1974 and changed Stalybridge and Stockport. Also did that line using the Leeds - Crewe TPO to get to N Wales about the same time...

I suppose that area was close to me on 95 when i was B&Bing it in Glossop for work for a few months. I never did the lines through Marple incl the Hope Valley. Never did Hadfield -Broadbottom direct either. But a decade earlier i did do the Glossop line when the DC units were still going. Think...

Yes Frizinghall Crossfalts opened 1982. One of the first new stations opened by Metro.

Nearest is Hellifield- Clitheroe. Never done Shipley - Guiseley. Or the line through Brighouse. Dont spose i will ever get the direct Shipley - Woodlesford line avoiding Leeds Stn. Never been west of Kents Bank on the furness line. So really the whole Cumbrian coast to do. Not done Morecambe...

Just remembered the Coire Cas funicular built to serve the Cairngorm ski resort. Been out of use since 2019 due to engineering problems. And the concession went bust. Expected to open next year. Electric.

Curtains do run on rails....

I have done;: Folkestone (there were 2 side by side back then. I used both. Only the western most one now exists.) Water driven. I think the water was pumped back up for re-use. Bridgnorth. Electric I think. Lynton/Lynmouth. Electric Centre for Alternative Technology, mid Wales. Water...

Pull yourselves together.

It was pretty infrequent. Mostly hourly. Some trains from leeds definitely terminated at Keighley. There was a reversing siding where Asda is now. There were no Leeds - Bradford FS services. Cononley, Steeton and Silsden, Crossflats, Saltaire, Fitzwilliam, Baildon, Kirkstall Forge and Apperley...

My dad used to work in the blue building where you got the mega bus in Leeds (in the pic) I am a tad confused. I thought Megabus used the Leeds bus station now. Anyone know the true picture???

Have you tried the canal towpath up Hatton locks? Start at Warwick Parkway and at the top there is a nice caff. Plenty of Chiltern trains to look at. Start back in Warwick if you don't want to pay for parking. Or get a train to Warwick P'way. Atherstone is a good place to look at the WCML...

On a related matter, when did the cl 26 and 27 go and replaces by cl 37 and cl 47. To me, Ccotland around 1980 was type 2's (Maybe working in multiple). Anything bigger was rare.

Bentham, Dent Only used LP when there was a derailment at Settle Junction 2nd May 1979. They plain lined the S&C, and put back the connection towards Giggleswick later. Replacement bus between LP and Giggleswick.

Also if you are flying late in the day, and its late, you could miss last trains home. I could use trains from Clitheroe to Manchester airport but the first train is too late and the last train is a worry for the return. So I drive. Dont fancy a unscheduled night on the airport, or worse...

All politicians are interested in is 'will this make me look good? Will i get to cut a ribbon in front of a shiny train? How many column inches in the daily Mail? Electrification has a lead time longer than a parliament. So there is the quite large risk the other lot will get the credit for...

I wonder if Black prince will run their preserved buses in Leeds on Christmas day like they have before, seeing First, Transdev and Arriva won't be.
