Shaw Wood Road in the Todmorden area between the A646 at Eastwood and Harvelin Park has a 26ft length restriction for similar reasons and is served by Todmorden local services T6 and T8.

According to the plans the first two sections of the roof at the western end up to the end of the main station building are to be permanently removed.

Would this not introduce a performance risk when splitting and joining at Donny if one half of the train is delayed?

Anything longer than a single 185 would be too long for the platform and would require selective door opening.

Doesn’t give the right to tar everyone with the same brush though does it

That’s a very judgmental view. Are you assuming everyone is the same?

Knocked this route together on Google, but had to add via points where it didn’t take you near stations on the route. Hope this is of some help. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2DCsrjjiuDcCmGZXA?g_st=ic

Longsight is a depot, not a station.

Might be waiting a while as it’s now showing as cancelled.

Surprised they hadn’t thought of setting up a depot at Gascoigne Wood for them. Fairly remote and where static training for the 68/Mk5 sets took place I believe.

Southeastern is OLR, doesn’t exclude them having a contract with Go-Ahead for rail replacement vehicles though.

I’ve often wondered why this hasn’t been done, but would it save paths on the core ECML south of Donny and would they be of use to anyone else?
