I believe coal + rain leads to an acidic residue which gets into places it shouldn't and causes (or accelerates) corrosion. One of the reasons...
I wasn’t suggesting that the railway would be *blamed* for the weather, simply pointing out that “go from A to B for a nice day at the beach” and...
Another question about these 'tidal' timetables, to the seaside especially, is what happens when the weather is awful and the demand is from...
15' gauge? We're in dockside crane territory here, surely...
I can’t offhand remember the distances but I’m sure we have a couple of 3/4 mile pulls on the GCR. But in my experience the thing which makes them...
Can’t add any insight but I hope this does get restored one day. In my mind it’s significant as BR’s last “proper” steam engine (since the one...
Yes, but on the Circle they use Inner Rail and Outer Rail. The other interesting ones are the Piccadilly and Jubilee Lines which switch from...
As a point of order, ‘ordinary mortals’ have always had things like timetables and signposts and destination boards to tell them where they are...
You haven't read that properly. That T&WAO covers from the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre to the junction at 50 steps bridge, and south from...
I described your comment as daft, because it is daft. You are not describing a merger, you are saying the south should cherry-pick the...
I’m not sure why you quoted my post in yours, as I was replying to someone else’s daft suggestion. I fully concur that a merger is necessary to...
Certainly not! The GCR London extension goes (and despite some opinion to the contrary, always did go) Up to London, while the zero milepost is at...
Why on earth would the north agree to hand over its commercial traffic, main line connection and half of its railway to another organisation? That...
What you are missing, Phil, or perhaps choosing to ignore, are the various comments from certain senior PLC people which cast doubt on the very...
Phil, I don’t think anyone would deny that a main line link has its advantages. But they will never, ever show a return on the £millions being...
I don’t think trees are your primary concern there. Most of your proposed route would be in tunnel. PS: You mean Ruddington not Rushcliffe...
Only one of which has any hope of ever running on the main line, and it duplicates several similar locos elsewhere so it’s debatable how much work...
There are several more £millions to spend and several years of construction before anything gets recouped; 2020 will be a distant memory by then....
What I note is the tender full of coal. Are you sure it was withdrawn when this was taken? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Even if you have the original linen you have to be careful. Fortunately most of the drawings I've had to work with have been electrical and so not...
