Does anybody know if all three sides of the delta junction are under construction or are two sides paused / cancelled ?. Is any construction work underway north of delta junction ?

Blackfriars in London. A ticket is available to wall the length of the station which crosses the river Thames.

Are there Headspans in the area where the incident happened ?

I don't know much about ticketing, but would it have worked better as two separate transactions. Manchester to Sheffield as one transaction, Sheffield to London as another ? Letting the TOC know that you are split ticketing may not be good policy.

If the L and B had the money available today, would they be able to extend to Parracombe. Is the TWAO in place ? and if not when is it expected ?. For the moment they are unable to reach Blackmoor Gate, because the Devon County Council have plans to build a roundabout just to the north over the...

Does anybody have any news on the Lynton and Barnstaple , Transport and Works application ? Are they only applying to get to Parracombe, or the whole line through Blackmoor Gate ?

I travel a lot between Salisbury and Exeter, and would like to know what the short branch is to the north of the four track section, west of Salisbury station. It heads off Eastbound, over a tall victorian brick arch bridge, and then disappears . There is an electrical sub station to the north...

If Scotrail are going to tighten up the timetable to incorporate the faster running speeds, then something has been gained. If they continue to use the existing timetable, then what has been gained ? Operating costs have increased to run the technology, so the likelihood of station closures is...

This equipment doesn't solve any problems. Down here in Devon we have the same type of railway. Barnstaple to Exeter St. Davids Lots of unstaffed small stations which are request stops. Arm out to stop the train, tell the ticket checker if you want the train to stop. If the driver knows in...
