Single line from Hamworthy junction to Wool and a dedicated line from Wareham to Worgret Junction for Swanage Railway? Sounds like a plan.
According to Network Rail after 1400 there was also a speed restriction on this section. Didn't say anything about pilot-man working but that may...
Isn't Worgret Junction paired with a trap point to divert/derail any out of control rolling stock away from the main line?
My thought is that the capital outlay for the batteries would have been prohibitive however the enterprising Aussies have already run with this...
Yes truly amazing but has sufficient work been done for Cambrian Heritage Railways to benefit from the grant which I believe is/was time limited?
I believe one of the class 66s remained connected to the 701 at all times. The lights were on but after repeated attempts the Bombardier engineers...
Are these test runs for Class 701 Aventra EMU? 2316 Eastleigh Works Gbrf to Wareham...
Did the 6X70 2036 Eastleigh Works Gbrf to Wareham service last night remain on NR metals or did it have to approach Norden gates to exchange the...
Swanage Railway was in the process of obtaining a TOC licence to allow them to run trains on the mainline. Now that it is looking unlikely that...
Why extend to Bournemouth? Wareham is ideal for double ended trains such as DMUs. A bay platform would be great though unlikely. Pathing problems...
Evidently Dorset isn't plagued by graffiti artists to the same extent as other parts of the country. 125
Would three movements by road work out cheaper than a rail move via Yeovil Junction?
Is the problem the route or the DMU? If the former, could the DMU be returned to Swanage via Yeovil Junction?
The signaller really messed up. The local service Woking to Haslemere had to arrive at P1 (instead of P2) where it should have changed ends to...

I said immune as (I understand it) the primary effect of gapping is to block the line. Some EMUs have jumper cables with clamps to mitigate this...
Being electro-diesel locomotives, class 73s should be immune to the effects of gapping as the diesel engine can be run up within a few seconds...
The 73/1 sub-class relies on 3rd rail to supply ETH and as London Victoria to Gatwick is third rail all the way I see no reason for the 1 to 2...
Does the class 73 hauled LU 4TC's electro-magnetic central locking system remain operational on the Swanage branch or does it fail when the 3rd...
