Double Arrow with "GBR" below it looks gash. If that's true Double Arrow alone would look much better.

I guess you need extra trains and an additional “line” that runs from North of Newcastle city centre (Monkseaton or Regent Centre maybe)? That extra line probably needs to terminate somewhere though (Sunderland or Park Lane maybe). I think turfing people off at Pelaw while simpler would not be...

Does a class 18 move fast enough to run amongst service trains?

If you don’t know the system by heart, you might not know which side the platform will be on at the next station.

Sounds like a fair amount might be down then. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the overhead was untensioned in the tunnels, I assume because when built they wouldn’t have been able to fit weights and the temperature won’t vary too wildly down there. I wonder if whenever they get round...

I believe there's also the transforming cities bid going in/gone in to dual it.

Content for news already is driven by the website content. The first four paragraphs of any news story on the website form the red button version of a story.

No. The issue there is management. Management always think vast and complex software systems are easy and expect too much to be delivered too quickly. Usually time or cost pressures add into this. Software Engineers are only to blame if they didn't speak up and bring down expectations.

Does the new metro spec include TPWS/AWS?

Here's their FOI policy - https://www.lner.co.uk/globalassets/downloads1/foi/lner-publication-scheme---final.pdf And here's their policy on complaints about their response to an FOI request - https://www.lner.co.uk/globalassets/downloads1/foi/lner-foi-review-process---final.pdf

Haven't they said that unlike HS1, freight won't be going anywhere near HS2 as it's a wholly passenger railway?

Changing a font is never really simple though. All typefaces have different widths, so if they changed font, they could end up with some bits of text which they expected to take up one line in a browser, suddenly taking up two. This would be a problem if there are any bits of the website where...

Is that not just a reflection in the glass where the model stops?

There's one at Heaton Depot in Newcastle

Reading the report, I feel like Northern Powerhouse Rail has turned into something beyond just HS3

If you take a look at hitachi's drawings for HS2 stock, judging by the way it curves in at the bottom of the doors, you might just be right about designing around the UK gauge...

Are those which arrived into Hull additional to the five which arrived into the Port of Tyne? http://www.portoftyne.co.uk/news/port-of-tyne/port-of-tyne-gives-hitachi-rail-europe-a-lift/

I'm not a destructive test engineer or anything - but trains don't just move around at 36kph and only crash into relatively light (compared to what they could face - a Lorry at a level crossing or God forbid another train). By the way, they teach you about crashes as part of forces and...

I wouldn't say the test they did was acceptable - if you look at the pictures, the tank of water moved away from the train, while at the same time the train must have stopped almost immediately. If they'd used a solid object which wouldn't take the momentum of the train (I've a great big...
