Liverpool not Newlyn datum in 1890 surely? Newlyn wasn't set up until the early 1910's and it can make a difference to the levels. Also, if you are in coal mining country, then the OS benchmarks may also be showing changes in level due to subsidence. One of the things I do like about my day...

I meant that they ceased to call. Now they just run through without stopping. As to why they haven't resumed calling, I would like to know that myself.

Thanks for posting this. As usual I find out more about changes to the local buses by this forum than I do by any other means. Link has been duly circulated. Losing the direct link to Perth and by extension Perth Royal Infirmary via the X7 will be an issue for some especially those who have to...

In general, as long as the L&Y were not paying for it and it benefited them, I would have thought they would be co-operative. Some scenarios spring to mind. 1) L&Y would provide minimum requirements which council then designed around 2) L&Y supplied the design (which you suggest might have...

Dunkirk Pit, Read Link above is to a summary of a talk given back in 2013. Going by the map the pit is either next to or is the one which is the focus of this thread. Might be worthwhile seeing if the speaker is still around as they might know more? There is also the coal authority web viewer...

Thought Scottish Water took over the water supply for Blair Atholl from Network Rail several years ago?

Pre covid it formed a useful Dundee-Arbroath-Montrose-Stonehaven-Aberdeen service. Now it just carries fresh air between Dundee and Aberdeen and vice versa. For the evening service, again this used to call at Stonehaven, Montrose and Arbroath as well as Dundee. Again this was pre covid but it...
