Its not a Network Rail specific term, its commonly used in project management- it is effectively the internal customer for a project and often isn't a full time job. A definition from an external blog below https://www.projectmanager.com/blog/what-is-a-project-sponsor "According to the...

Wilmcote near Stratford upon Avon has a real old Great Western Railway feel and an unusual covered footbridge

There was a problem at West Croydon that meant the train had to be diverted via Mitcham Junction or be cancelled - once it arrived at Balham it made sense to move it along early to avoid issues with following services. There was another train 8 minutes later than the scheduled time for this one...

Skylink Derby and Nottingham are running a Sunday service on Boxing Day

Which is what I said - southbound Victoria line to northbound Victoria line. This then avoids steps at Oxford Circus for the transfer to the northbound Bakerloo

Possibly not the shortest for walking at the Kings Cross end, but for no steps you can also do southbound Victoria line to Green Park, cross platform to northbound Victoria line back to Oxford Circus, then cross platform to northbound Bakerloo line to Paddington - exit via escalator and the...

There is a picture on the disused stations website (second picture down on the link below) which seems to show an MLV at least partially clear of the platform at the London end (assuming the train isn't moving when the picture was taken) and a 12 coach train without MLV only just fitting into...

That isn't how it works - if you are offered a ticket for a route then it is valid, but in this case it doesn't offer a ticket - that is just the quickest available journey at that time but there is no valid ticket for that journey, you would have to split

That phone takes me back - we got those in about 1988 to replace the old style black dial phones.

It's about a mile, although I didn't know that they despatched stuff by rail. The building is still there, now a business centre. https://maps.app.goo.gl/pEMr5qEeFR3Ggjy49

Nobody has suggested that the police will stop anyone except on this thread. The rules were different in March, when non essential travel was banned and the police were within their rights to ask people whether they were following the rules (even if you disagree with the way that Derbyshire...

Eltham Park and Eltham- the platforms at Eltham Park were still visible last year and about 500 metres from the current station. Eltham Well Hall was even closer, but nothing left of that that I could see.

Not cheaper, but Newark Airport to Newark Penn Station at $17 but 5 minutes journey time is around 3 miles.

From the Cheshire East bus updates page: 130 bus service: D&G Bus will be withdrawing their 130 service on Saturday 3 October. A replacement service to start on Monday 5 October has been tendered but due to contractual requirements, we are unable to confirm the details of this service until 25...

The Worcester Park ones that I remembered from the mid 90s were NSE branded as well - glad that my mind wasn't playing tricks and they did actually exist!

I think Worcester Park had them still at some point after 1994, the South Western were slower to roll out Solari boards than the Central or South Eastern and many suburban stations had no platform information until the electronic displays introduced by SWT in the early 2000s. Bexleyheath up...

Mikro's service 78 (Nantwich - Leighton Hospital) is running again despite not being listed on the Cheshire East website or on Traveline - unsurprisingly no one on either if the two buses I saw earlier

The buildings on platform 10 were originally planned to use as a check in facility for Manchester Airport (as Paddington and Victoria had at one point) - but various things (including online check in, printing your own boarding pass at home and increased security after 9/11) meant that never...

And to further complicate things, Trent Barton is actually still two registered companies (Trent Motor Traction Co Ltd and Barton Buses Ltd, which you still see on the sides of the buses as the registered owners). They are both owned by Wellglade Ltd which is then owned by Wellglade Group. High...

In Derby, Mercian Midland Red (Midland Red North) running minibuses to compete with Derby City Transport, which resulted in DCT buying their own minibuses and running some services in Tamworth and Lichfield. Both companies ended up as Arriva. Plus Trent and Derby City Transport having a short...
