Other than Liverpool, this is roughly what will happen if the recent cancellation is uncancelled. On top of that, the plans to move, and add, some CrossCountry services to Moor St match your plan.

This would be easy to fix, if it weren’t for other trains on the line. Unlike the core, these platforms have to be compatible with GWR and freight trains. What alteration was not made?

I saw a super car near Oxford Street yesterday, possibly a Ferrari, with one Arabic letter on its plate. It was, of course, moving fast and noisy when it wasn’t stuck at the lights.

An Elizabeth line extension to Hoo junction is safeguarded. This route includes Northfleet, which just needs a direct walking route to Ebbsfleet. But it would be a long journey.

If you want more paths for passengers, cut paths for freight. It may not be a good decision in the wider context. Eurostar is faster than domestic and freight, if you don’t want to slow Eurostar then pay to speed up the others.

Richmond House (east of Cenotaph) is also used in the official plans. The conference centre might not be linked to the tunnels they need for security.

That is still similar to the national debt. It is acceptable that it’s rising now in regular times, even though during the covid period it rose faster.

Is it a remnant of older catering setups and offerings? If at-table catering is dead, then yes. Vending machines have been mentioned as a cheap catering option on this forum. Is that in operation anywhere, including abroad?

When the government debt goes up and they say “but covid”, we’re supposed to accept that. When the number of people suffering long term health complications goes up, with many diagnoses of long covid, the government don’t accept that. I don’t like this double standard. A social safety net...

These two Twitter posts have media showing two Egyptian geese. https://x.com/stesloan/status/1781235771682308350 https://x.com/sarickwoodsarah/status/1781327500162777230

I think the point implied above needs to be stressed. This is a politicians decision. Bosses of the brands do not make decisions like this.

Heathrow to relief platforms at OOC will always (except Sundays) be Elizabeth line, and to main platforms will always be HEx. I hope HEx won’t be reimbursed for Sunday passengers paying lower fares.

A new Express concession, but with cheaper prices.

Remove the express and say they can buy a new one when they open their second runway.

Apparently Jeremy Corbyn is a good local MP. Maybe people should use that as a reason to vote for him as PM. Or they aren’t related. In 1997 Labour were a vastly different government to what they replaced. In 2010 the difference seemed to be more a pair of fresh faces, but following the first...

The latter can also be interpreted as wished, as we saw in the last two national referendums. But what makes a lower level of government the right one? How would city wide things be managed? Osbourne championed more regional mayors, it has cross party support.

They were subject to local consultations, at varying points depending on how they came in. I’m not sure this applies to the LTNs that are several decades old. What’s the better local democracy, borough mayors?

In a new topic, can you define ‘fair share’?

Bimodes and Bemus are typically heavier than solely diesel or electric units. There are some costs in supporting that weight. It seems to be implied that the success of batteries reduces the need for electrification. Has that been studied? How much electrification is realistically needed, with...

Yes, as long as you cut some services because terminating takes more time/paths than stopping. What do the other TV services do, as they are all on the fast?
