I wasn't wearing any.

Not while still on the running lines! TBF, there were in the past plenty of places to stow damaged vehicles temporarily before removing them for repair or scrapping.

How was it managed in the past?

I've answered this already...

Ufton Nervet is relatively recent. Hither Green 1967 – accident Sunday evening, slow lines back in action Tuesday morning, fast lines Wednesday.

Thanks but as I said above, I've since seen that.

That's what I'm asking. It was often done so much more quickly in the past.

Yes, I've since seen that but the vehicles are still being taken away by road.

"Passenger services commenced on the Great Central on 15 March 1899 with Arkwright Street as the line's temporary northern terminus pending the completion of Nottingham Victoria." Tsk. How did I miss that?! Except it wasn't a terminus as trains were running to Manchester.

"This Saturday (24th May) is the 125th anniversary of the opening of Nottingham Victoria," announced BBC East Midlands TV this week. "You're a year late," I thought to myself, "the GCR London Extension opened in 1899," but it's correct – the official opening took place, apparently without...

Kielder, also skew arches and with decorated spandrels and castellated parapets. And fancy having one of these in your garden – Charlton viaduct (S&DJR) from the grounds of Kilver Court.

There was a mix of rail and bus services when I used the line in October and November. These were advertised on the NR website journey planner a week or more in advance. This weekend (29/30 Jan), the line is closed for engineering works with all services replaced by buses. Does anyone know...

The Rhondda tunnel and the proposal to reopen it as a cycle path were mentioned in this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/long-tunnels-with-no-ventilation-shafts-vice-versa.216447/ The plans have been approved. This was in the Daily Telegraph yesterday...

There are confirmed engineering works on the Midland route on Dec 18/19. Nottingham-St. Pancras trains run via Corby with a reversal at Leicester, journey time 2h 25m. NR timetable offers plenty of alternatives via Grantham to KX with shorter times.

Goodness. Who'd have thought there'd be so many lovers of boring old concrete in the country. And so many readers of the minds of the dead as well. As for Glenfinnan viaduct...there's just something about it that distinguishes it from that stark little bridge near Bicester. I wonder what that...

Thank you, Alf, for support (of a sort). I have finished digging the bullets out of the living room wall...
