Thank you.
I will leave it as open floor

Thank you - and a fairly easy one from me for a change:
Three* preserved railways label themselves after flowers. Which ones are they?
*If there's more than three then I'll accept the first three given.
Bluebell
Lavender
Watercress*
*it's a plant but I'm not sure it's a flower
I was thinking of the Poppy Line, but I'll give you that as you certainly had two of them, therefore a majority, and the Watercress is certainly a plant if not a flower, so that's 2½ out of 3.
Your floral display...
May I ask where the Poppy Line is? It's a new one to me.
North Norfolk Railway.
Did it stop regulating rates for long distance trucking?
observation cars on the back of a train were banned
train spacing / pathing requirements were changed, to make sure that passenger trains were kept further away from other trains
Detonators introduced?
This is closer, not quite on the money but as a hint: think what ensures separation of trains.
Signalling blocks?
Something to do with what protects signalling blocks.
Interlocking?
Presumably train protection - but it couldn't have been full blown ATP because that's what PTC is being rolled out to do today. I recall that there is a US requirement for cab signalling and a form of ATP for passenger trains exceeding a set speed (75 mph?) Does that date back so far?
OK. What (of railway interest) happens at Gallitzin?
Gauge change somewhere in eastern Europe, between Standard Gauge and Russian?
