What would be the quickest non stop timing between these 2 centres? 45 mins, possibly. Given that much of this section is permitted for 90mph. Today's service is 54 min with 3 calling points. It was 72 mins in 1985. Can't remember the 1970s.

Does anyone have any affection for this operation that I believe ran from 1974/5 up until the sad closure of Consett works in 1980. The 37s were still backwards and forwards until 1983 with scrap metal. The actual railway, nearer the Consett end still lay there until 1987 before final track...

I find it very annoying that I want to travel from Cambridge to Elgin and cannot travel until after 9.30 if I want to pay anything close to a reasonably priced fare. Why can't they allow passengers who are travelling such huge distances some leeway. After all, this is set to be a 9/10 hour...

I used to travel between Whittlesford and Cambridge on these DMUs quite often. Service was infrequent, not like today. Services to London were much slower if you travelled from intermediate stations like Whittlesford.
