    Noticed on the Southeastern whatsapp channel today that the Sheerness branch was suspended from around 1630 to 2030, due to passengers causing such a disturbance and damage to the train set that it had to be taken out of service, and a replacement set be sent over. Is the Sheerness branch...

    Will there ever be a new crossing onto Canvey Island?

    Canvey Island currently has two crossings onto the island, the A130 Canvey Way (connecting to the A13/A130 at Sadler's Farm) and the B1014 (going into Benfleet). The trouble is, both of these roads meet on Canvey at the same roundabout (Waterside Farm), therefore, all traffic off and on the...

    Post-war station architecture

    After spending some time at Elmstead Woods station in London and admiring the garden there, it got me thinking, are there many other stations which have gardens inside them? The only other one I could think of was at Chesham tube station which has a small garden on the disused side of the...

    Crossrail up the WCML?

    What happened to the proposals of running Crossrail services up the WCML to Tring? Did plans just dissolve or was there a reason as to why they aren't running up to Tring? I would've thought the idea of freeing space at Euston and providing more choice to those in Tring, Hemel, and Watford by...
