Three new sidings to be built at Penzance to stable 9 car IETs. Good news, but am I the only one to cringe at the way NR's media team try to explain things in a way that you might at an infants school. I would have thought the general public would have a good idea what a railway siding is without the explanation. It's not even remotely correct - a layby is somewhere where you have a pause on a journey for some reason - not somewhere where you go when you get to journey's end.
