My mistake. Never been on one go from 10 or 11

Correct. Though 10 platforms (0-9) should be ample for the long-distance service aspiration 1tph Hull/Bradford/Sunderland OA or Lincoln 3tph Leeds/Yorkshire (4tph peak) 3tph Newcastle/Scotland Even if the 2tph Ely/Kings Lynn go over to IEP and can't use 10/11 at all* then it's 10tph for...

Flat double junction is far less of an issue at the KX end. According to the network rail route specification there will be a reduction in suburban services using KX in the peaks: 2tph to Ely/Kings Lynn 2tph peak only to Peterborough 2tph to Welwyn Garden City Currently it's: 4tph to...

As far as hitchin grade separation www.hitchingradeseparation.blogspot.com is a fantastic blog detailing the progress. As far as I know there's a closure planned over Christmas to finish the connection of the loop to the Down Cambridge near Letchworth. I'm assuming that the Christmas...

Afraid you're wrong on this one! Sectional appendix lists: Meldreth: Up 138yds, Down 138yds Shepreth: Up 105yds, Down 98yds Foxton: Up 113yds, Down 91yds

A slightly stupid (but relevant) question...what loading gauge is the tunnel? Is it full European loading gague. If so, would there be the possibility of seeing duplex sets when the 373's are life expired. Obviously this is still a while off, but I was just wondering...

So up ECML trains will stop on the through line but down ECML trains will have to come off to either 4 or 5 then. Will there be some form of grad separation so that down FCC services can use 2 and 3 without conflicting with the fast services?

Just looked at a copy of the full timetable from Summer 2010 (it's too big to upload). Only 2 12 car trains in the evening peak: 1740 Kings Cross - Hitchin - St. Neots - Huntingdon - Peterborough arr 1850 1810 Kings Cross - Hitchin - St. Neots - Huntingdon - Peterborough arr 1914...

Indeed. Just the slowest one each hour (the semi-fast doesn't get overtaken). In the opposite direction the stoppers are on the boards as services to Finsbury Park.

Hi all, Had a quick search of the forum but couldn't find anything so wonder if you could help. I'm traveeling Stoke->Cambridge tomorrow on return portion of an off peak return (route not London). Is it possible to excess the return portion to Route: Any Permitted before I travel tomorrow...

On paper four tracking Welwyn seems a great idea, and I'm aware there's been discussion of the practicalities (or not) of doing it on here before. The trouble is, if it only frees up 2 IC paths each hour, that'll never be enough to account for growth on the route by itself. It would simply be a...

Lol. Kind of answered my own question didn't I! Thanks for clarifying :)

Surely that must cause issues with ticket booking though, given tickets can be booked up to 12 weeks in advance?

One assumes he meant class 159 dmu's.

Jumper at Grantham apparently :(

I guess there's a problem with space and cost - digging tunnel in the middle of London ain't cheap. Also, afaik, the tunnels have been dug for the link between St Pancras Low level to the Great Northern already, with the junction being grade separated. If this is the case then I would imagine...

How likely is this to affect the day-to-day running of the service? I'm planning on travelling to the south west with crosscountry several times during August (including once on a Sunday) and could live without disruption.

I found this interesting little document whilst browsing this morning. http://www.publictenders.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=80997&newlang=eng&topic=197&catid=0 It seems to indicate that LM intend to receive "between 40 and 120" EMU vehicles, delivery commencing...

A, I think. It's a pretty lengthy formation, considering there has to be room for a LE at Euston too, for/from the ECS.

ATW Cardiff - North Wales services go via Gobowen, Chirk, Ruabon and Wrexham, and so reverse out of Chester.
