    10 years time

    I reckon some will have to build museum style halls to display their loco's carrages etc never mind sidings just look around the stations on the NYMR most of which is stored for other heritage lines as they dont have enough space. Wonder which lines people think will be reopened as heritage in...

    UK rail looking good....

    considering the age of our rail network (i know the tracks been upgraded but the actual routes) and the fact that we had to decimate our network to keep it running its amazing that we can run so many trains on the main lines. I still feel alot of branches could have more made of them but that...

    Portillo returns to your tv screen

    True thought He'd have made his way as a side step to Locamotion at Shildon and to Hackworths works he went to Stephensons after all. like the series tho nice to see the rail network being shown in a positive and accesible way mind you on the map at the end of the episodes he makes his way from...

    Darlington - Hartlepool Extended

    Not when i have used the service mainly at rush hour i must admit. maybe splitting some services during the day when maybe Darlington is the primary destination? Also better advertising may change that alot of people i talk to think you have to change at Darlo anyway. And yet eaglescliffe...

    Darlington - Hartlepool Extended

    IMHO DTV airport will never have a decent rail requirement because give it 5 years and the airport will be closed. also split the Bish-Saltburn service and you might aswell close the Bishop line no one will split their journey to get to boro etc. Also if the weardale railway was to run the...

    Rioting students

    i for one would step out of the way or you know run and i do agree with Yorkie i wouldn't get involved with a riot a protest is fair enough but the minute i saw people hurling rocks and smashing windows etc i'd get outta there not film it on my phone and put it on face book.

    High Speed 2 - do we really need it?

    HS2 is fine if you live near the main station but what is the point when you live further away and you need to get on a victorian system to one of these fancy stations sitting in someones stinking armpit because there isn't enough rolling stock to cope with the current levels of passengers...

    Rioting students

    i wonder how much money could have been saved for the economy if we hadn't had to pay police overtime repair bills and grafitti removal might have brought the yearly fee down to 7-8000 lol. I heard one rioter claim that education is a right not a privilage since when has this been the case...
