    Severn Tunnel Closure (02/05 Evening)

    As a driver not sure I'd fancy going into a long underwater tunnel at extreme caution only! One day I suspect there be an economic case for redoing the tunnel with a brand new bore. There may already be one...

    German Rail in decline ?

    Same happened to us on the exact same sleeper in November, except we were lucky and it was only 9 minutes earlier. We showed the ticket to check it was the same one and they just rolled their eyes and said, nobody told you? Us and about 10 other people as the service number had changed too...

    Leeds Station Improvement

    I have no idea about units, not my area of expertise. 1713703784 I'll try find out, my impression is it is a big benefit to TRU so widening a viaduct may not be out of the question!

    Leeds Station Improvement

    I believe, although I may have got the wrong end of the stick, that this lengthening includes it's own line to connect into the hallam lines, avoiding having to wait for TPE services to access the station or leave.
