Lovely views of 37 --- I don't think it's a secret that 38 is to be restored, but that process isn't as quite advanced as I would like !

A couple of points to consider here. One is the this is hearsay based on an apparently unauthorised leak of an internal Network Rail Control Log. The other point is that the Control Log is based on assessment at the time and these assessments do...

Can only echo the above. At Warrington I had several long chats with staff (including the guard), who were pulling their hair out with the lack of information, but somehow seemingly kept their good humour and most of all professionalism. I hope...

A classic example in this photograph of the perils of not clearing lineside vegetation. The metal cabinet didn't catch fire, it was obviously surrounded by vegetation that did and the contents of the cabinet were effectively "cooked". I am old...

Having been in that situation a few times, both as passenger and steward, the lack of information coming through at times is incredibly frustrating, but there's nothing anyone can really do about it as there's so many links in the chain it takes...

So, with the benefit of a few hours of sleep - my impressions of yesterday. Picking up at Nuneaton, we left about 50 down after a points failure at Coleshill had delayed things - but a barnstorming run up the WCML, and skipping all of the...

Interesting responses to my post about diesel not being the same turn off that it was. It seems to have sparked some debate. My observation though was rooted in watching the daily ticket sales of a railway and access to 20 years of detailed...

I think the last part of @cksteam comment was well made though. You have a situation like Bridge 42 that has a massive impact on your operation and removes your key attraction. OK - what can you do? The answer surely has to be "how can we make...
