    Enquiry about the Beeching report

    Be aware that Beeching is simultaneously both Satan himself and worthy of sainthood. Its an emotive topic certainly. As this is academic in nature, be very wary about going in with preconceived notions one way or the other and let your research do the bulk of the work and representation.

    Paper Timetables - do we still need them?

    Are you kidding? It just took me 3 seconds on something i carry with me at all times. A paper timetable is only worthwhile if you have it with you and doesnt tell you the current status of any trains.

    Paper Timetables - do we still need them?

    They are still needed, for stations with infrequent services, or a limited number of destinations. Otherwise they become a mass of barely readable data and can be very confusing.

    I was wondering about a foul on the black and only considered that the opposition player would get the points, not that the player fouling would not have scored the points either! Happy to concede the baize.

    Formula 1

    The changing tyres and pit stops to introduce changes are plastering over the fact that the cars are simultaneously too easy to drive at 95% of what is capable and also unable to follow the cars in front closely due to the strong reliance on clean aerodynamic grip, to the point you need to be...

    Should the HS2-HS1 tunnel under London be uncancelled?

    to be honest i think we missed a trick not running HS2 services through the Elizabeth line and out the east side of London somewhere back on to HS1 somewhere. I am sure a 400m HS2 train can fit through no problem with no extta work, i reckon it could be done for about 100 million. Come to think...

    Should the HS2-HS1 tunnel under London be uncancelled?

    You are delusional i am afraid and i fear you are living in an echo chamber and cannot face the fact you are wrong. I really cannot believe @Bald Rick has gone to such the time and effort with the reply which to be honest this idea scarcely deserves. In fact the reply is probably best pinned...

    Should the HS2-HS1 tunnel under London be uncancelled?

    I Think the best way to.make this work is to terminate HS2 trains at Euston.
