    LNER Leeds to Edinburgh?

    You could, however it really is just joining up two end to end journeys to make one. You also really dont want to throw any more services through the East end of Leeds. It really doesnt take a lot for the whole thing to come crashing down with a single delayed train giving you 15 mins of delay...

    Skipton-Colne again... sorry!

    Was just having a look at a 1959 timetable and the service was approximately 1TPH Colne to Skipton, taking approx 23 minutes. i think only 1 of these actually carried on to Leeds, though i could be reading the timetable wrong. Everything else appears to go to or from the west and finish at...

    He did. The film was called OK Connery. But had multiple different names. The reason he was sacked from his previous role (as a plasterer) was he lost his tools

    Skipton-Colne again... sorry!

    Who in Colne, Nelson, Brierfield, Barnoldswick (not on the route) and Earby are currently commuting into Leeds or have the desire to? Those in Colne, Nelson, Brierfield who do commute are far more likely to head westwards. Suddenly having a direct train to Leeds from Colne would do absolutely...

    Two additional tracks to be built into Leeds station from the West?

    There is no point 4 tracking the immediate throat east of Leeds without going much further. The main capacity eaters are the trains which stop at Cross Gates, Garforth, East Garforth and Micklefield (I am looking at you Hull stopper). I would say over 50% of journeys i am on on that section are...

    New rail lines in Scotland

    The economic case for all of these are so weak, they are essentially homeopathic. Maybe so, but these routes are not visionary, they are window dressing. Throwing billions at lines through the highlands will not improve anything. For the cost of these new lines, you could probably electrify the...

    In what world does it do this? It didnt do it when the Waverley Line was open and it wouldnt do it now. And even if it did, how would you fit the services in amongst local services there. Its an insane suggestion. 1)Parkway stations generally need to serve some population, barely anyone lives...

    New rail lines in Scotland

    Citation Needed. Garve to Ullapool needs 1 or 2 buses a day to meet with ferries. Inverness to Fort William. The two places exist as very separate places. You wouldnt speed up travel to Inverness if you went via Fort William and vice versa and the travel demand is so seasonal that you would...

    Those ideas on that proposal arent even worth the energy it takes to transmit the image.
