http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1106716_train_stations_4m_makeover I've always quite liked Bolton & its lengthy platforms certainly hark back to the era of lengthy steam expresses on the old L&Y. Mind you I'm wondering with such a high volume of passenger traffic whether it...

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1108225_victorias_9m_makeover I assume this is taking the place of the proposed £300 million office/retail revamp promised 2 years ago & probably now curtailed by the current economic situation. Still, if it means a more "faithful" restoration of...

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1093770_fight_to_keep_pacer_trains?rss=yes These are the 5 which will be surplus when the Oldham Loop line closes later this year. Love them or hate them, they could be useful in boosting capacity.

http://www.thevisitor.co.uk/morecambe-news/Shock-for-contractors-digging-upfamous.4907198.jp Fascinating. Those of you who know Morecambe will recall that The Stone Jetty was Morecambe's first railway station & the original building survives as a gift shop & cafe. Passengers originally...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filey_Holiday_Camp_railway_station I always find these stations quite interesting - am I right in thinking there were others at Minehead & Pwllheli? Judging by the above link, the one at Filey still remains (albeit trackless). Interesting also the services that...

This has got me wondering especially with High Speed 2 starting to enter many discussions and the prospect of a branch line to both Manchester & Liverpool. But just how can Liverpool accommodate any expansion of services at any level? And at the woefully cramped Lime St Station? Can you...

This is Northerns new hourly service which starts on 14th December. It will certainly be a new experience as services last ran this way in May 1989. Once again Victoria will be directly accessible to Chorley, Preston & Blackpool and certainly represents something of a turn-around in Victoria's...

http://the-railway-image.fotopic.net/p16690775.html This might bring back memories for some people! Situated just outside Manchester Victoria - never visited the site myself and its now defunct of course (closed 1989) but it looked a lively & fascinating place, rather like a rolling stock...

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article1794301.ece All I can say is: Yuck. And what planet is FGW living on? What kind of message does this send out? Using your money to vandalise their own stations. Absolute madness.
