Bristol St philips...any maps?

Temple Meads, there's a splendid place just outside the back entrance called lush Yurt. It is actually a yurt. don't be put off by the hippy look, it's actually brill

Very useful diary of Werrington activity...many thanks

Dewsbury station bar and good beer

Thanks

I thought that a house developer was obliged, as a planning condition, to contribute to railway works...a station and line rebuild. I've not read all the thread, can Someone point me in the direction of comment number, or has it been quietly kicked into the long grass?

Apologies if these have been published, unfortunately the 125 group thread is only up to May, so looking for the Summer TT update...cheers

Something reported in the paper local accompanied by a snap of the great and the good, probably penned bu Phillipa Page or Phil Space...quiet Monday? https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-temple-meads-junction-trains-3031350

What's the latest on Boness and Kinneil. There's an article in the Scotsman. but They won't accept my sign in. All too difficult these pay-walls

Bizarrely the NSE architects' office was in Hudson House in York...a small group that worked on Southend line stations and other works on the ECML to Peterborough etc. Alongside larger teams of Intercity and Regional railways architects and support. All ended at privatisation of course, sadly.

Thanks for you thoughts both

I have just moved into the area....what is the latest on new lines or re-openings to Washington for example?

Barrier crossing, because it's on T + W metro it is down a lot, but the line is also used by 6+ freights and GC traffic from Sunderland servicing at Heaton and Pelaw...interesting ops. Funnily I mention it in the pub thread

East Boldon, on the Tyne and Wear metro to Sunderland (from Pelaw where they 'service' GC stock, there's the 'Badgers Bridge' where you can see regular T + W metros, half a dozen freights and the GC empties...not a bad pub to watch the cricket on telly + 3 hand pulls (not cheap) + food

The Mitre, behind Knaresborough station...good choice of ales at decent prices + food. Admittedly it's only 155s + 153 changing platform for return to Leeds and an intriguing signal box built onto the end of terrace, to control crossing gates. but good spot to spend a sunny afternoon in't beer...

I'd have thought Hull and surroundings would be a candidate. Despite the river Hull tidal barrier, there's high water table in much of the city and wasn't it reclaimed land originally?
