    Extra service for special events (like Liverpool FC parade)?

    Spurs parade would start from 12:00 on Sunday if they win. Compare with Liverpool's 4 pm, it's easier for fans to back to home indeed but might cause chaos at the Whtie Hart Lane in the morning.

    Comparison of railway building projects in China and Britain

    The track of high-speed railway in China is closed and well protected, so the driver doesn't need to worry about a cow rush into the route:D. And all the things are newly built, but UK's railway assets are inherited from hundreds of years ago. There was a terrible safety incident in 2011 which...

    Is the berth offset of Wem station wrong?

    What's wrong with the level crossing? I thought it's used to stop pedestrians. And if it's not reliable what will happen?

    Is the berth offset of Wem station wrong?

    Not just the signals, but also the stations are missing on the west coast (I mean the gap between Aberystwyth and Fishguard Harbour)..is it because few people live in the west coast and NR simply don't care that area?

    Hopefully there are some rail data guys, or the Wales/West Middleland Train Driver who is familiar with Wem station here. I'm doing a data exploration of Manchester Piccadilly - Cardiff Central journey, and surprisingly found the berth offset of Wem stations is 450s/220s, say - Berth 8330 to...
