Sandy?

WAs going to say Kielder, however my guess is that its something massive in Scotland. Whats the name of the one you can see from the train at Dalwhinnie? Loch Ericht?

Can you explain in simple terms why you would want a duplicate route with lower frequency and would take over twice as long as the existing route?

So a bit of fun. With so many tracks come and gone from F1 over the years, what would be your fantasy 20 race season? Some rules: A minimum of 3 races in the Americas A minimum of 3 races in Australia and the Far East A minimum of 1 race in the middle East No more than 2 races in 1 country...

I do look forward to the Far North Line Shinkansen being opened between Inverness and Thurso rapidly improving journey times.

You say cynical, we just say realistic. Just because we are enjoyers of the railway as such, it doesnt mean we are separate from reality.

I cant see a programme of railway closures coming through. But... If you have these lightly used lines get affected by major failures, akin to Eden Brows on the Settle and Carlisle. I could see long term truncations being done. Difficult to repair assets with, difficult access and basically...

That was quick! The canopy next to the really long bench! Your station choice

Ok, here is a station for you to have a crack at

Scotrail in an area of red sandstone was my other thought, but am not familiar with the area. Prestwick Town?

I want to say a northern station, most likely in the Cheshire area, based on the red sandstone wall, but thats my best guess

My guess is that it is to do with the sonic boom effect in the tunnel and the cylindrical shape preventing that at high speeds (300kph). The later shapes also have the duck bill nose to prevent the boom effect, which i guess reduces the need for the cylindrical shape in the 500 series, which i...

Do marital names count? With Tychá being the feminine form of Tychý? Especially seen as Tychas maiden name is Peltan and they are no longer married.
