Oh I can't get to the Map as the link sends me to Reddit, whatever that may be. I used to be able to download your superb map from a pdf here as you have done with the express night buses,which I have downloaded to my iPad.

Different line, ended up being British Oak not too far from where the M1 goes over the Calder.. Have that history, the one I refer to was exclusively loco worked and had Staiths at Horbury Bridge.

Worth hunting out the magazine as it gives a good history of the line with a track plan of where it went.

Found it, October 2021 in Backtrack ‘The Flockton Waggonway - Richard Lee delves into early industrial railway history in the West Riding of Yorkshire coalfield.’. So many thanks @ge_rik . Nothing like how I described the name, but this is the article. Put onto the index by a guy in G Scale...

Interesting what you say, some of the current thinking in the area appears to favour a Northern route into Cambridge missing Cambridge South Station, that to me appears madness as there are many who need to access the hospital there. Since the Re-introduction of the X5 after Covid it now only...

We certainly lost National Express service from St.Neots possibly a decade or so ago now. Think it went to Southport so may have been the one mentioned by Lloyd’s above, but not at all sure. Had little interest in busses at the time. As an aside I have been thinking of using a NE service to...

Well Manchester for a start, but would agree may not be many people’s 1st choice except at the moment with the awful service provided by TPE and NR.
