I was wondering about this the other day. When did they stop building level crossings altogether? I am not including light railways, tramways, sidings or reopened lines. Just proper new built lines in the UK. I think the Great Central london extension did not include them for instance. Did the...

Just wondering about some of the discussions about electric cars generally and their perceived shortfalls (range and refuelling times) as it seems that both could be helped by a revival of the Motorail service. Not only could you take your car over longer distances without range worries, but it...
