Absolutely. Having been caught out myself on a number of occasions with sidings/loops/crossovers which have long since been 'plain lined', whenever I create/update one of my maps now, I always try and find a recent "drivers eye view" on YouTube - the Hastings DEMU ones are particularly good...

Whoops! :oops: Although not as extreme as that, this is the main issue I have experienced with 'manual' TRUST reports; you can look at a train on (for example) RTT after it has run and see numerous reports for manual signalboxes which show the train in question arriving/departing/passing...

First world post Covid problems ;)

That's all well and good in theory, but in reality that means... ...rather than: Really??? o_O Most other European countries have been locked down since Christmas and many are still seeing daily deaths in the hundreds, so it's fanciful to think that we could have magically avoided doing the...

First train is due to run next Wednesday in a similar path to the Doncaster Railport schedule: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R00157/2021-05-05/detailed No, but I understand that FL will also be running trains to/from Tinsley in a few weeks time! MARK

Is that any surprise when millions have been effectively bribed to stay at home and watch Netflix under the furlough scheme?? MARK

US presidents seem particularly fond of doing U-turns on election promises - remember Bush senior's "watch my lips - no new taxes"?! o_O MARK

As nobody else has mentioned it on the thread so far, my website (Freightmaster Online) features over 120 Realtime Maps, which use the same graphics and feed processing 'back end' as Railcam, but my maps are all drawn from scratch to provide coverage based on multiple routes converging on...

Patently untrue - you have obviously already made your mind up that lockdowns are 100% effective and should presumably be used every winter to avoid pressure on the NHS from Covid and/or flu, irrespective of the horrific damage that approach would have on businesses and the mental health of both...

The new up signal (SN48) will be immediately north of Cornton LC, 987 yards south of the existing DB15 that you refer to, which becomes three aspect. In addition, there is another new three aspect up signal (SN47) immediately south of Cornton footpath crossing, with the existing SN47 at...

Predictably, it turns out that only "benefit" of all the Covid safety theatre in supermarkets over the past 12 months has been a massive drop in profits despite bumper sales: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56912064 Hopefully the 'big four' will now realise that continuing to mollycoddle...

The work also involves commissioning a new pair of controlled signals to protect the crossing, which will also have the effect of reducing the headway between Stirling and Bridge of Allen. MARK

...although there is a shuttle service running today between Potters Bar Welwyn Garden City, interestingly! MARK

I've not been in Boots since I was screamed at (not exaggerating) for daring to take the most direct/efficient/logical route through one of their branches last May, and I doubt I will ever return to be honest. <( Out of curiosity, why did/do shops have one way systems in the first place? They...

0Y22 and 0L01 respectively. MARK

This, definitely! :smile: The only (very vague) pattern is that it tends to run more often at the start of the week, including most Tuesdays, with Friday runs being the most uncommon day for it to operate. MARK

Not only that, but the world's population has increased by more than 100 million since the pandemic began!! o_O MARK

For comparison, here is a link to the equivalent map that Nicholas posted a couple of months ago: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/new-lockdown-in-england-including-school-closures-announced-by-johnson-4-1-21.212853/page-98#post-5002905 At first glance it gives the impression that there...

While it's completely understandable for people to be "cautious" as you put it, the irrational behaviour that the other posters are referring to goes way beyond basic caution to rabid paranoia and debilitating phobia. Absolutely. In fact the BBC has published a sobering article on this very...
