A completely different idea, what if the Elizabeth Line takes over the Central Line between North Acton and West Ruislip? Chiltern services could all stop at one of the Ruislip stations to offer interchange. The Central Line could have a curve after East Acton to a new OOC terminus alongside...

Most advances from London to Glasgow are around the £150 mark, and that is what I would propose the off-peak fare should become. Personally I think this fare should be much lower, around £100 as you suggest, but the need for the railway to make a profit probably puts a stop to that. Any reason...

This whole bull**** concept of advance tickets (and seat reservations) needs to go entirely, trains should not be like planes, they should be like cars (i.e. you can use it whenever you want without getting ripped off), as that is the only way of getting people out of their cars. Between the...

I've always wondered if it would be better and more cost effective to have a half-hourly 3 coach shuttle between Dorking and Horsham, with good connections to the Victoria service at Dorking, particularily as it would only require two units and would save empty 10 coach units being sent along...

To put it frankly, this forum has become a miserable bunch of people who are ready to shoot down any ideas for any reason they can possibly find...speculation in this part of the forum doesn't always need to be boring and "financially viable" and can simply be "crayonista" ideas people have, but...

Well said.

Not too relevant to this thread, but an idea I had to solve the issues of SWR's excess fleet and Southern's fleet shortage was for SWR to take over the West Coastway services between Southampton and Brighton using 450s.

This isn't related to electrification to Nottingham specifically, but I didn’t think it was worth making a new thread over. Would the existing Corby services be able to have stops at Leagrave added, to relieve Thameslink services and provide some new links? I am not too sure about the pathing...

Could you feasibly run some trains through to Waterloo via the WLL? Maybe even throw in a Vauxhall stop for the Victoria Line. Of course only 350/1s and 805s would be able to do this.
