    Bit of nice speculation thread. If you had the power to order stock what you order and why. 1713684907 To kick us off, I’d probably look to extend a lot of LNER IEP’s by an extra coach to 10 and/or then extend some of the 5 coach sets to 9/10.

    Strange Signals on Tyne Valley Line (contains large images)

    Just to the east of Haltwhistle station there is a small loop and siding. In this loop there is a series of closely spacing signals around 100m apart.
