Cambridge to Huntingdon - at least, the ECML North.

You can still see the ECML from the top of the Glebe Road side at London Road, although more and more is springing up in between. Until the new stand was built at the Moy's End of the ground (named for a railway wagon works), the same seat would also provide a view of the old Great Eastern line...

To be fair, Luton Airport doesn't sound the best place to spend a weekend break, so I think your problems are just beginning.

Absolutely - it was only the heat after a long day that made the walk a pain. There was an even larger event chucking out at Finsbury Park, so the less said about the Tube journey the better.

I went to see Primal Scream at Alexandra Palace and that was closed after the gig. It was the weekend before the heatwave (so still close to 30c at 10.30pm) and nobody seemed to know it would be closed. Which meant a lot of hot/bothered/drunk/stoned people struggling. The walk to Wood Green...

I think a route North West out of Cambridge to the ECML somewhere South of Peterborough would be beneficial - especially if your Norwich corridor was getting built. Cambridge is a major centre and only reason ably accessible from London for a decent journey time. This would open up better long...

The joint line was built bypassing Sleaford and then a spur to the station added. So it wasn't quite built as a freight avoiding line, but other than ECML diversions, that's all it's ever been.

Thirsk

As long as it's not Cambridge United.

Genuine question - does that duty of care exist when the person in question isn't a passenger nor on the station for a legitimate reason?

The old Circle line?

RAF Cranwell station is now used as the guard room.

Metheringham still does (or at least did last time I was there) about two metres in front of a southbound train. The train has to wait for the passengers to clear the crossing. It's quite unnerving to cross in front of a late driver who seems to be doing some kind of engine revving to get you...

Peterborough to Whittlesea? Do that journey and you go back 40 years.

Who'd have thought that people from South of London would get trains to Waterloo, Victoria or London Bridge?

Man Utd's fans will arrive using various transport methods. The point is, they'll be well practised and each will know their own unique way to the ground. They'll also have their routines and filter off into the night at their own speeds. This was a one-off event and from a sport that is...

You say that, but you should see the state of road travel in Lincolnshire.

None of that is actually true (from the second paragraph, obviously). Anyway, Twitter doesn't have any problems - just idiots using it from time to time, but from my experience it attracts a better class of idiot than Facebook.

The Grantham to Lincoln line was right to close. Ignoring the issues of getting in and out of Grantham - the engine having to run around if you want to extend the route to, say Nottingham - the line didn't serve anywhere on the route. All of the stations, with the exception of Leadenham...
