Kildwick on the keighley - Skipton line can leave you waiting a while. Useful when you are going to the hospital. I got held up while my wife was driving me to A+E with a burst appendix. She turned round and we went via steeton.

I seem to remember the reason they went for bimodes on the east coast was because of the 9 minutes for a loco change at edinburgh for trains going further north. Sure that was documented in a Roger Ford article in modern railways. So that decision meant we now have trains dragging round...

Axle counters dont:- Detect broken rails Detect metal obstructions, notably wreckage from a train smash which occured on the other track. Dont detect track curcuit clips. Dont need lines and lines of computer code and shedloads of configuration all input by humans so liable to wrong side failure...

Upper ribblesdale. Just had a wet snow shower at 200'. No wind yet. Snow laying but you can still see the green of the grass.

Not so bad here up north (upper ribblesdale) Max wind gusts forecast for early afternoon but under 60mph. Dunno how much stuff will end up running here.

One factor which may affect what damage occurs is wind direction. We had a storm earlier this year and the wind came from the north east, not the usual south west. Loads of trees went. Previoys SW gales had weeded out trees that were vulnerable to wind from that direction. But there had not been...

very odd stuff on the roof too!

Looks like they should be careful south of a line from the Humber to the Mersey. Looks like further north we are getting our lot today.

wind speeds getting up here in Ribblesdale. But note these readings are from a station high up above Settle This graph from wunderground.com which shows data from personal weather stations. Its data from today (16th Feb 2022 16:20)

Weren't 769's supposed to do a Staylebridge-Southport service?

Sorry. Without guard. Been a long day...

most is the old tote road from when they built the tunnel. There are the spoil heaps which are covered in wild strawberries if you go at the right time. bit of a struggle from cowgill up to the station tho.

dwell times could be reduced if the driver opens the doors. He knows how long his train is and has stopped at the correct stop mark. So he can start the door opening sequence as the train drops the last few MPH. If its safe on the Berlin S-Bahn, it would be safe here. And if DOO trains can...

Stratford upon Avon - Wooton Warwen. nice walk along the cut.

There was a nasty accident on the M42 when a truck went into a bridge support at the A444 junction. The motorway was closed for a while for that. They started encasing the bottom of bridge supports in concrete after that.

Whats wrong with book on t'internet and use a automatic machine to print at the station. Then i have a card ticket. Which is what i want.

Arnside to silverdale Morecambe - Bare lane along the prom. Leeds skipton line follows the leeds and liverpool canal so pick the bit you want to walk. Gargrave too. Keighley - ilkley over Rombalds Moor. Loads of Ribblehead - Horton walks. Staveley (Cumbria) - Penrith via high Street. But you...

I would have thought the keighley & Worth Valley was tailor made for this.

Are heights not measured from mean high water springs (MHWS) Remember. Actual high water can be higher that MHWS. A lot higher if there is an easterly blowing.
