The late afternoon service has a 12 minute layover at Llandrindod on Mon-Sat (providing it's on time) There's a public toilet on the street just outside the station I believe.
Harwich International, formerly known as Parkeston Quay. There are twice daily sailings to the Hook of Holland (and in the past there were passenger routes to Denmark, Sweden and Germany).
There needs to be a continuous dual carriageway from the M67 at Mottram to the M1 at Tankersley.
Legislate to remove the strip of land concerned from the Peak National Park. Bits of the topography are challenging but we could hire some good consultants to advise on this. Under-road heating to...
Yes, 150s should be top of the retirement list: they're excessively noisy with uncomfortable seating and a poor ambience.
156s are better - though most suited to medium length journeys with not too many stops.
That might be the easiest but that isn't going to happen. You can't expect that a deal which was available just before hostilities began will still be available after the expenditure of much blood and treasure. Russia in fact has a positive incentive not to make a deal because Ukraine is likely...

This Ukraine conflict actually started back in 2014 - though you'd never guess that from listening...
The phrase 'this is the Northern service to' is irritating. Use of the definite article suggests that it is the only one, or the only one that day; 'a Northern service' would be better.
The Yorkshire chap does a robust rendition of 'Cark & Cartmel' - though I think a Scouser might do it even better.
The exaggerated f'th in Carnforth in the old recording came across as a bit of an affectation. There are times when a more RP version, in this case as in the number or the Scottish...
In England Kiveton Park on the Sheffield-Worksop line has a road junction immediately beyond the crossing on the north side - with room for only one vehicle without fouling the track. There is a signal box immediately adjacent which can keep an eye on things, however.
