    Poppies removed from Hale Station - because they could confuse train drivers

    Yes they are.... Interesting to see how they (being non-drivers) would react when driving an express through a station and seeing flashes of red in their peripheral vision......

    The Sharnbrook Line

    With that quite significant deviation between the lines, is any difference between the chainages on the adjacent lines, and how do they deal with that?

    Timing of Engneering Works

    And also to bear in mind. Most possessions are months (if not years) in the planning. Any change in methodology now would not change any current planned works, and would only come to fruition next year at the earliest when travel may be well on the return to pre-covid levels anyway.

    Heaton Derailment 22/03/22

    Is it just me, or does the 800 class seem to be involved in more mishaps than the HST? Or are they just widely reported than in earlier times?
