Fine. You stand by your post and I'll stand by mine.

Thanks very much. I'll watch the Bootle tomorrow rather than tonight. I think your video will be the first with decent picture quality for that stretch of track. I can probably guess the route you'll be taking from Tuxford to Doncaster. I look forward to watching that.

Last week I attended a funeral held at The Surrey and Sussex Crematorium. I found it a bit off the beaten track and not ideally placed for people reliant on public transport. None of the other attendees had come by public transport. One couple living near St. Albans had considered using...

I apologise. I don't know how that happened but I meant superb, not suburb. So, no. I meant the main station. 1751964832 That's quite possible as I do know the difference between superb and suburb!

A very strange post. I didn't demand original and primary research. I didn't make a criticism. I didn't give an opinion about the value or otherwise of this YouTube video. I didn't say anything except ask a question.

I like Hertford East Station and think its architecture deserves more recognition. I also think Darlington's superb trainshed is underrated. Melton Mowbray and Oakham are small interesting stations, well worth looking at.

Jago Hazzard has now uploaded another video on this subject . . . .

I've received the folllowing email . . . . https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vacancy-for-a-branch-support-officer-based-in-derby?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=7127157a-2670-4668-bcb3-0fb112ca551c&utm_content=daily It's not for me because I'll be 79 next...

Are you providing new information or only repeating ideas and laments we've all heard before?

At present only as an experiment unavailable to the general public. The existing passenger service is with a good-quality DMU chugging back and forth.

The formations approaching Woking are 2 down 2 up.

Ben Elias has uploaded his latest in-cab video showing the route between Liverpool Lime Street and Leeds . . . There are other videos showing parts of this route but I believe this is the first to present the whole of it.

The very widespread criticism of today's police force is that they do not respond at all to many cries for help and that when they do respond, it is too little and too late. Very few shop owners are pleased with the speed of response by the police when aggressive shoplifters have been reported...

It's a minor tragedy of British railway history that possibly the best laid out railway line is also the line which should not have been built.

As a hangover from my boyhood, that is my favourite main line. (I first travelled from Waterloo to Woking when I was a few weeks old!)

Turning the A16 into a dual carriageway is likely to involve using agricultural land and he probably is aware of that. Whether he is a railway nerd steeped in rail closure history is far less likely. However closing the line between Spalding and Boston seems foolish even to people like me, and...

Thank you for that. I've been wondering how this transfer from Felixstowe to London Gateway would affect workings on the North London Line west of Gospel Oak. Mind you, the section between Seven Sisters and Cheshunt is very busy in the peak period and would probably struggle with additional...

Is there enough room both to four-track the route and build a new station?

I notice you haven't answered my questions!

What percentage of the finance for both The Elizabeth Line and the Northern Line extension to Battersea was raised in London and not from the national exchequer? How much of the finance for HS2 and the TPU was raised locally? Now the Mayors of Manchester and Liverpool are developing their plans...
