Even so it´s probably not a great perception for those affected that there has been a lot of money spent, a lot of longer than planned disruption, for rewards that are not necessarily that obvious. I wonder if, once all is done, there would be a follow up communication demonstrating what...

At least from 2027/28 or thereabouts the accountability and responsibility for any issues with the railways will be clear: the government. As everyone blames them already then little change...

Which makes it easy to define in such a way to make sure the answer is "no"

or looked at a different way he was the person who broke the news that NR didn´t actually have the blank cheque book all you enthusiasts seem to think is a divine right. Ok, a little provocative but the truth is probably more in that direction and has been rehearsed many times on these forums...

This is one of, if not the best example of NR project communications. Of course real test is that the local residents receive and are aware of it and find it useful. From the outside it does seem that many other projects are not very good at this sort of thing

The Mayor's proposal must be also taken with the revised HS2 proposal, from one of the same Mayor's, which would link into it. I.e mostly back to the previous scheme

what route will they take in Italy, and do they have indicative journey times?

within the last year NS accept contactless from your bank card, so you can avoid the 1€ that way

Looking at 1st Jan, which I think is a Sunday timetable. I was under impression this is not so much of a one-off though

If I read it correctly the Peterborough line Sunday service terminates at KX and does not go through the core, at least in early January. Yet other services from ECML do go through the core. Anyone know why?

Better stop covering the countryside in housing then

Ah ok, so that could be a trial, but if success main use would still be as I described? Would make a lot of sense to trial on already existing infrastructure

I thought the idea was based around using them for trams and trying to avoid the costly need to have to divert every utility in the road as with the reduced weight the risk of damage to said utility was sufficiently reduced. So really to open up new tram possibilities rather than anything on the...
