In this case however, the wiki author was quoting the 2016 future XC service consultation, referenced [40] on that page. It may nowadays be out of date, but it was a valid addition to the page at the time.

Yes that’s an obvious difference. I guess the central island wouldn’t have enough room to do anything similar there. It also seems likely that there’ll be no public access past the central lift shafts, your May 8 photos suggest to me they probably haven’t enough clearance with respect to the...

Here‘s a layout drawing taken from the NR planning document posted somewhere earlier in this thread:

Still suffering from blocked arterios. Should see a doctor.

Some quite significant bridges such as the Newcastle High Level Bridge were built as 3 track, which I think was quickly found inadequate, but it looks to me as if widening would have been very complex. Solved after 50 odd years by building another 4 track bridge.

Quite right, sorry I assumed the link in post #20 was about Colwyn Bay, but didn’t check any further.

Mentioned as a proposal by the ROSCO in late 2021 but I don’t think there’s been any sign of physical activity since. Might never happen.

I just checked a couple of dozen death register entries (mostly scanned pdfs) I have from about 1900-1920 without finding any codes. I’d be wondering about the handwriting, and whether it’s a later addition. The 1911 codes sheet uses 511-519 for various railway roles, but 512/1 would suggest a...

When the knock on changes to SWR were discussed back in February in the dedicated West Coastway thread I think it was only ever up Waterloo trains that were mentioned. I don’t remember noticing any significant down changes.

I think with landscape mode in a phone camera, it’s because the user can change to the landscape view by turning either way. One way is considered normal, depending on where the shutter button ends up, facing up or facing the ground. The orientation flag must be ignored when the thumbnail is...

Are you really asking about the length of a Voyager coach as the title suggests, because that is 23 metres, same as many other classes. Or are you asking about the low the number of coaches in a train, because that’s a completely different question?

I think this is the right place on the National Library of Scotland side by side view? https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16.0&lat=51.51565&lon=-2.51979&layers=206&right=ESRIWorld

That‘s exactly the problem. I’m sure we’ve a pretty long thread about it.

Presumably that will go down like a lead balloon, as can currently be seen with EWR Bedford to Cambridge, which seems to be very like what you‘re proposing?

Welcome. From what you’ve said here I think your son was probably issued with a penalty fare onboard - (assuming the fare required was £12)? I don’t believe you would have then received an ”initial letter” as well. The penalty fare paperwork issued by the revenue staff is all you normally...
