I have no idea about units, not my area of expertise. 1713703784 I'll try find out, my impression is it is a big benefit to TRU so widening a viaduct may not be out of the question!

Well and truly into speculative there, I think they hope to just improve the existing.

I believe, although I may have got the wrong end of the stick, that this lengthening includes it's own line to connect into the hallam lines, avoiding having to wait for TPE services to access the station or leave. That in itself could be a game changer for the reliability and arguably shave a...

The scale of the earthworks is also likely due to the earthworks recieving enough work that they need to be designed properly. Relevant to the other threads on landslides where we are now facing consequences of a lack of understanding of earthworks during the railway building era.

I have not noticed the landslips up north being in areas where the trees have been cut down so I'm not sure the logic stands up that there is any correlation. Whether vegetation is good or bad depends on the angles, soil type, soil moisture regime and the type of vegetation it is not a black...

If it is where I think it is that land has been under remediation for many years.

Great because I changed the trains there yesterday and it is a disgrace!

Is that insider knowledge or just a hope?

Both are in the PTE area yes. Up to Micklefield is WYPTE (or former).

Whereas Castleford protects you from snow and ice but is absolutely covered in pigeon feaces, which I'd argue is worse.

I really would have left any perceived politics out of it. Comments turned off on all channels show you exactly why, it just stokes the current pathetic culture war the west is embroiled in. Numbers much better, cannot be viewed as political and very easy to use. The German system is so easy...

Quite unimpressed by the design of the footbridge at Castleford. No matter how much they clean it, it is always covered in pigeon feaces. They have made a design with loads of roosting space for them that is open to the passenger area. The floor in places is a carpet of pigeon poo which surely...

I didn't get any arriving into York at 08:05 but colleagues arriving 08:30 to 09:30 did. So might have been too early.

There might be more line blockages and T3s but that is now the only access anyone looking after the infrastructure gets. Previously there was line blocks, T3s, and red zone walking, or even working in some cases. We are starting to see the impact of taking all boots off ballast when trains run...

Last I heard was targeting Easter.

Ah think that is waiting for more 323s, I'm sure northern will run the 769s for longer.

Beacons for class 802s to change mode on the move I believe.

Smart cards are fastest way, I don't even need to take it out of my wallet to open barriers

Likely and very likely are also very subjective phrases!

And I can think of several who fit the bill perfectly! It wasn't exclusive or a blanket statement, I know and work with many very very good project rail project managers, but there is some out there that end up out of their depth. And actually more prevalent is them being overworked with lack of...
