    Introduction of VED on zero-emission cars

    Cwm Prysor Viadyct

    I walked the Cwn Prysor viaduct last September when I was on holiday in Wales. Is a beautiful structure and great to see it still standing, although I always feel sad whenever I see disused railway arcitecture. I went the wrong way at first and walked for about a couple of miles up a steep hill...

    Does anyone know which rail line used this bridge near where the Ffestinigog railway crosses the A487 near Minffordd?

    Why do trains from Lowestoft stop at the far end of platform 1 at Ipswich station rather than drive up to the buffers? Does not stopping at the far end mean anyone with mobility issues has quite a fair further distance to walk?

    North Norfolk Railway plans to extend into Holt could cost £5m

    I guess one has to admire their enthusiasum and willingness to not give up, but would any heritage railway be able to raise that sort of sum for a short extension? Would it be even worth it? https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/traffic/holt-railway-extension-plans-goal-9230984
