    Northumberland Line reopening: progress updates

    Yes, there are 3 stations to open, but they're all well beyond the point of no return. What is it you’re assuming won’t get ‘properly completed’, given that Bebside is about 95% complete?

    Signalling Trivia - Warnham to Horsham.

    Then with LEDs could it be two ‘light units’#, with one yellow only and the other green or yellow? # (I’m not sure if there’s an agreed terminology now, when a single light unit can display up to 3 colours, I think some people use searchlight but to me that’s a completely different technology.)

    Oxford Corridor Phase 2 & Platform 5 updates

    They do for the initial 2 tph service, as far as is shown in RTT if you make the cancelled services visible.

    Max Fine cost for fraudulently commiting refunds?

    If your character is a regular on the same route and using a normal season ticket, they’ll probably start with a reasonable assumption that he would travel at similar times each day. So if for the days claimed the times were widely different to normal commuting patterns their software might be...

    Ordnance Survey maps -- "conflict of interests"

    The Disused Stations site also has a fair amount of detail, I just realised...

    Ordnance Survey maps -- "conflict of interests"

    Not quite ‘intermediate-station-less’, there was also Durley Halt 1909-1933. I think there were still some overgrown platform remains, but it must be over twenty years since I saw them.

    Map or diagram clearly showing all entrances/exits to London Waterloo station?

    I think the main reason the footbridge was removed is that the borough council wanted to return all pedestrian crossings in the area to ground level as a general planning policy. Also removing certain subways for the same reason. IIRC the building on the station side that the footbridge route...

    Newport SIMS scrap drags

    There was a 455 move to Newport yesterday. It’s discussed in the SWR withdrawals thread. I think a master thread just about Newport (no longer Sims by the way) wouldn’t really work - people will usually want to discuss withdrawals in a dedicated thread for a specific class, because the moves...

    Coastway west to coastway east?

    What theoretical freight would ever need to be taken from Southampton Docks to Dollands Moor? Unless you‘re assuming imports into Southampton could be re-exported to mainland Europe? o_O

    Just how separate are King's Cross and St Pancras?

    The service was split in half for a couple of years while the new St Pancras low level station box was dug out and built. Bedford line trains ran into the interim St Pancras high level station (now SE platforms). Nothing ran through the tunnels while the box was being built. But the through...

    Northumberland Line reopening: progress updates

    I think no earlier than the end of September, based on Saturday‘s discussions about problems with local roads. (Post #1455 onwards.). The project website still does not give a date.

    A scam phone calls and emails discussion.

    The scammers must make it difficult for real bank and business fraud response teams etc. I had a call that I answered a while ago, and the chap started out by saying he was ringing from HMRC about my income tax. He was clearly used to people putting the phone down on him, so quickly added that...

    Appeal - Didn't realise I had to print a ticket

    Wouldn‘t you be able to refund the original ticket if you never picked it up? Or have you subsequently printed it?

    It’s only a few days ago that the diagrams, (which include Newcastle), were posted in the dedicated thread about the short sets here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/lner-225-shortening-overnight-testing.286015/page-6#post-7434235

    Oxford Corridor Phase 2 & Platform 5 updates

    I expect it’s the proposed congestion charge: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/proposed-congestion-charge-to-access-oxford-station.287732/

    Northumberland Line reopening: progress updates

    On the Northumberland Line website they've just announced the 2-week delay to nearby road works, that should have been happening next week, because they've just found "access challenges resulting from complex issues with utilities in this area". So I expect that’s possibly the same work area as...

    A scam phone calls and emails discussion.

    I think the £300 winter fuel payment scams are usually aimed at pensioners. I’ve noticed a few emails about it, they started very soon after the government U-turn to reinstate them. You don’t need to claim if entitled, but if you‘re not entitled (as it’s now means tested), you can log into DWP...

    Greek Street bridge replacement Stockport

    I think there’s at least enough detail in those videos to say the remaining parts of the central pier are not supporting anything.

    Edinburgh Park > Newcastle : Would it be OK to start journey at EDB

    I read it as the OP was asking about his wife starting at Waverley on a ticket from Edinburgh Park to Newcastle?

    Here’s a link to the National Library of Scotland (NLS) side by side maps if the OP isn’t familiar with that website: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16.7&lat=55.89709&lon=-2.32742&layers=258&right=ESRIWorld
