    Don Coffey cab ride video discussion

    Many thanks in advance. My favourite in-cab videos are those which show freight-only routes.

    I've just started to re-record videos using the webm format and yes, they are noticeably better, so thank you for alerting me to that option.

    Thank you for that. A little bonus!

    £48m boost for Penistone line service doubling and capacity increases

    For the benefit of those who have never used this line, why is it painfully slow? Route alignment? State of the track?

    Many thanks for the update. I look forward to all of those future videos.

    Don Coffey cab ride video discussion

    You're very welcome. I think we should all share info about new worthwhile videos, but the specific thread for that in this forum is used mainly by people promoting their own product. Another newish video by a newish poster is Stenson Junction to Stoke-on-Trent . . . . . . . . . which...

    Collision and derailment near Salisbury (Fisherton Tunnel) 31/10/21

    I haven't noticed London Underground's railway where it runs in the open being as overgrown with vegetation as the main railway network.

    Don Coffey cab ride video discussion

    Ben Elias has come to the rescue! His latest video - Derby to Preston - shows the route from Derby as far south as Wichnor Junction where he diverts along the Lichfield Single to join the WCML. It's a good video and an essential addition to our libraries.

    Ben Elias has uploaded a new and very welcome driver's eye view video from Derby to Preston . . . . . . . which plugs a few gaps in coverage of the railway network. Derby to Stenson Junction, the Lichfield Single and Newton-le-Willows to Golborne Junction are all included.

    "Portsmouth Direct" line

    I thought the connection with Winchester was closed and lost years ago.

    50P to use the toilets at Glasgow Queen Street

    I've never noticed taps hanging off the wall and I don't believe I could have overlooked them if they were. I've also never found several cubicles out of use or that the doors didn't fit. I've never had a problem drying my hands there. You must be extraordinarily unlucky if you encounter all...

    50P to use the toilets at Glasgow Queen Street

    So are Marylebone and London Bridge. Going from memory or lack of it, either Cannon Street or Blackfriars is too. A week or so ago, those at West Ruislip were closed due to "inappropriate use." An argument for a 50p charge?

    Elizabeth Line 1st year operating figures

    I'm an old man and my sense of smell is nothing like as good as it used to be. Nevertheless: I've never smelled damp at those stations and I suspect you're exaggerating. Have any young people with undiminished senses noticed anything amiss?

    Chiltern electrification alternatives being studied...

    Ah! That's interesting. I only use the route off peak. Is it heavily used during rush hour?

    I notice that Don Coffey has a new video in two weeks from now: Preston to Tunstead. I look forward to that.

    Heathrow Southern Link

    Exclusively? That line is also used by freight services.

    Youtube links and Video sites

    YouTube has a new Driver's eye view channel which has at present hardly any subscribers and very few viewers. One very interesting video . . . . . . is from Crewe to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley. There are several others.

    Don Coffey cab ride video discussion

    Very good news so thank you. I've just watched your latest three part TRU update. Very interesting, and again thank you. These changes make your earlier videos of this route valuable records of the past.

    Don Coffey cab ride video discussion

    Have you had any luck in making progress? The only videos of this route at present are decades old and have atrocious picture quality, so I'm very much looking forward to your video.

    West Ruislip & South Ruislip - Why the need for both on NR?

    I don't think South Ruislip has public lavatories either whereas West Ruislip does.
