She should be prepared for SNCB/DB to reckon the delay as under 120min, as the engineering works timetable applies, not the times given at the time of booking :(

And one or other UFN, presumably (the second train midweek is a unit of course).

Thanks. I did wonder if that was what you meant.

Spaghetti bol with chips isn't that odd - up north (possibly down south too) other pasta dishes such as lasagne are often offered with chips (salad as an alternative if you are lucky).

Depends what you mean: "delivered" to me implies some improvement. I would be happier to say "maintained" a safe railway, as the nationalised system could hardly be described as unsafe.

IME prices move upwards but only fairly last minute (that might depend on the route though.

Yes, the signage isn't brilliant but there is a step-free route of 100m or so to the TO and various machines? Isnt there a machine by the ramp to P3/5? Not obvious from 2 though :) (From memory, just check when I have time...

I hope you are neither admitting to nor encouraging fare evasion :)

National Rail has the information for 1 Nov and the revised times are evidently not uploaded yet. The answer to your question will be available in a couple of weeks :)

I agree that's optimistic. Fortunately you then don't have to make Paris for 0745. 0910 would be fitting for those who remember the last cross-channel sleeper, and 12hr means 20.00 from Waverley :) Still highly unlikely!

The first two Paris arrivals appear to be 0747 (M-Th) and 0809. So the hypothetical sleeper could arrive at 0743, which is a bit early given the clock change but not bad. A 10-hour journey (non-tilt, please, and 200km/h!) would therefore leave Edinburgh around 2100 which is reasonable. (in...

In this case, having a taxi/minibus on standby at the station (which is presumably unstaffed, so the potential passenger has to be able to identify the location unaided.....

Did they? Or did they simply re-roster staff away from the quiet midweek days to the weekends? Where? All the operators I know about operate a significantly reduced service on Sundays.

Spiekeroog has some sort of horse-tram on part of the old system IIRC.

Yes, but having sidings there means ECS over the Nunnery to Midland section which is already congested, hence wanting to locate them to the south. Sorry, I'd overlooked your idea of a third track.

The PF resolves the immediate issue. You don't have to tap in/out with a season. If you are contacted about anything else, ignore it (probably).

Used it both as a foot passenger (first time it was cancelled and our group ended up on the old Normannia in rough weather :( ) and with family in a car (it was cheaper that year!).

The Borkum line is double track throughout, and requires 3 trains in service at certain times of day (and some of those load very heavily!). Wangerooge is DB and tidal, Langeoog is the third survivor with ferry connection.

I suggest swapping the roles of 1 and 2 on this scenario. You would need to provide a route from the sidings to 2 as part of this, leaving enough of 1 clear for a 240m train, but that seems is doable. Agree! Think you could manage without if you do the previous items. Ideally, yes, South of...

The Watercress (Alton- Alresford) and the Swanage both have a couple of boxes - as indeed has the Kent and E Sussex.
