    A new south coast line - would it be worth it?

    Instead of building a complete new line. I think if any project of the sort took place it would more likely just be a curve put in it at Yeovil junction leading onto the Dorchester line. It would result in direct services between Weymouth and Exeter, just not a quick as a new line between...

    So there is no services from Manchester North to Bolton for the foreseeable future? So what would be the possibility of managing to get to Chorley in about a weeks time. I assume the best way to go would be from Preston and down towards Bolton if there is any sort of service.

    1A68 cancelled 5th August

    They managed to get the unit back into york so the issue can't have been too bad. Although this was quite good as it was cancelled whist on the 2 track section to the north of york and there were 2 or 3 services getting caught behind it and catching it up
