    Werrington grade separation updates

    I was thinking that it would beneficial to line speed to reduce the curvature of the 'kink' as much as possible? If anyone is wondering what I am referring to, this is how it currently looks...

    Werrington grade separation updates

    I have been wondering that myself - I presume that it will eventually be slewed over to where the (temporary) Up Stamford was, which couldn't be done in the most recent possession as it involves moving OLE masts. MARK

    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    6L48 is mainly empty car carriers, often a full train of flat wagons these days. Here is how it looked on Monday 8th, the day before you saw it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31190-d5613/51235358912/ Assuming that it was a similar formation on the 9th, but with no cars conveyed, it might have...

    Should restrictions be eased fully if Indian Variant case rates do not decline before June 21st?

    I'm not sure how "useful" their comments are given that he/she has made them with the benefit of 15 months' worth of hindsight! In addition, nowhere in the diatribe was an attempt made to give their esteemed opinion on what the government should have done, rather than moaning about what they...

    Possible Class 43 drag?

    Further to the above replies, you need to look specifically for STP moves to Ely, such as the class 317 movement that you saw earlier today. To do this, use the [STP] filter on RTT: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:ELYYPAW/2021-06-09/0000-2359?stp=S MARK

    Scotland - Framework out of the pandemic - 23rd February 2021

    I've just posted a similar reply of the 'cruise ships and vaccinations' thread. Everybody on that ship (crew included) are fully vaccinated and have tested negative prior to boarding, while the thousands of English/Welsh tourists who are travelling to Scotland by car/coach/train each week are...

    Cruise ships and vaccination requirements

    I think that both RCI and Carnival Group would like it to be policy worldwide (as they desperately want to avoid a repeat of the Diamond Princess saga at all costs), but Florida and Texas have explicitly forbidden cruise lines from requiring guests to be vaccinated. Scotland on the other hand...

    Vaccine Progress, Approval, and Deployment

    On it's own, this constant cycle of 'crying wolf' to scare non vulnerable adults into needlessly wearing masks, getting vaccinated, etc, is bad enough, but my worry is that at some point in the next few months a variant might come along that is genuinely 100% more transmissible and/or deadly...
