    Manchester United Football halt station 'closed until further notice'

    Can anyone confirm whether they ran as scheduled, and whether it will repeat?

    Length of incline to flyover

    Thank you guys. I shall do a diagram later or tomorrow

    Manchester United Football halt station 'closed until further notice'

    It will be interesting to see whether this leads to closure. Staff loose route knowledge, track gets rusty and overgrown.... Slippery slope

    Length of incline to flyover

    Hello, Can anyone suggest what could be the minimum length of the ascending part of a flyover that takes one railway line over another? Assume that: whole area is flat, both lines electrified, and that at the bottom of the theoretical flyover trains will be doing 90mph. Also assume that...

    Kirkstall Forge & Apperley Bridge

    Re kirkstall forge, will there be foot access across the canal into Bramley Fall Park? A friends house is actually on the map extract shown on page 16, and I hadn't realised how close (as the crow flies) she was to the new station.

    How would you electrify Dawlish?

    Won't all the (theoretical) elecric trains through Dawlish be bi mode? If so, surely having a short section without catenary (for both reasons) is entirely feasible?

    Barriers at Smithy Bridge station

    Surely it is wrong to assume that the signaller was aware of the fault? I mean, yes there are sensors etc to confirm the barriers are down, but they could be faulty too?

    Trivia: Stations that should be rebuilt on a different site

    Pontefract (all three). Chesterfield (somehow nearer to the town). Thirsk (ditto)

    A bi-curious question...

    This could come into its own on stretches where there is room/funds for a third line but not four.

    Kirkstall Forge & Apperley Bridge

    It really is a shame that both stations won't have all electric trains stop there. In particular, travelling from one to the other will be silly.

    Trivia: Stations within same postcode area where you have to leave and re-enter

    I apologise. I got my junctions confused. IanD has correctly got what I was trying to say. Does Ulleskelf LS24 to Weeton LS17 via YO and HG count? Bonus points when the whole lot is in (pre 1996, when City of York became unitary) North Yorkshire?

    North London Line Query

    Not only that, but the line itself (iirc) has no juice at all, meaning a diesel loco is needed. I would have thought it much nicer had the connecting line, and all of platform 2, been given 25kv ac overhead to allow a train from the west to terminate in it/depart from it going to the west in...

    Trivia: Stations within same postcode area where you have to leave and re-enter

    I think that Ilkley (LS29) to Leeds (LS1) passes briefly through BD18 in the approx area of Thackley Junction.

    Future of the St Albans Abbey line

    If end to end was non stop, how much quicker than 16 mins would it be? Could an hourly clockface with one being all stops and the other being fast? Alternatively, what about WFJ-SAA 16 mins, 4 turn, SAA-WFJ 16 mins, 4 turn, WFJ-GSN 6 mins, 4 turn, GSN-WFJ 6 mins, 4 turn (all stops)...
