If the Todmorton Curve and Copy Pit Line get their act together direct trains will again run from Burney Manchester Road to Todmorton


Go on...I give up...:roll:

Where are the stated settlements of Burney and Todmorten actually situated ?

Burnage is another shack on the Great Western Mainline.

I am sure that both Mauldeth Road and East Didsbury, the two adjacent stations to Burnage on the Styal Line, will be utterly delighted to know that a connection from the Styal Line to the Great Western Main Line has overnight been introduced by Network Rail with very little publicity...:roll:

Cholsey is another station with five platform faces.

This remains the posting from which the next posting should be based upon.

Harwich Town is also at the end of a branch line which has a triangle junction with the line it diverges from.

Frinton-on-Sea is another penultimate station (heading out along the branch) on a Great Eastern branch line which runs from two track to single track along its course.
