    LBSCR Horsham to Worthing

    I recently read a book detailing the history of the LBSCR (unfortunately, I now cannot find the book to give reference) and it contained a section that said about a planned direct line from Horsham to Worthing. I can't seem to find anything else that even references this supposed plan, and I...

    Ticket Splitting - Buses?

    So, with the railways we can ticket split, but I wondered if anyone knows whether the same can be done for buses? I have a Stagecoach Worthing Area ticket, and as this runs to the outskirts of Shoreham, I was wondering whether I'd be allowed to use this to it's limit, then purchase a return...

    Modern day Pacer

    So if Pacers are out by 2019 (I know its not 100%), surely we need something like them, but better, as a replacement? It would have bogies, 2/3 carriages, proper doors, DDA compliancy. (Maybe a toilet for the longer journeys it might end up on?) How about the bus design again? Along the...

    Ideas for 'Railway M25'?

    Hi all, in this months edition of The Railway Magazine, they were talking about the East-West line becoming a 'Railway M25'. How it this as the trains wont go the full way around London?
