Perhaps the resident in question doesn't like the trains now coming to a full stop. Or perhaps there's other issues in his life causing him stress, like issue with his colon.

Cambridge has a load of places in the CB1 development immediately adjacent, as well as a "food truck" location just round the corner. Stevenage is adjacent to the town's leisure park, so a Nando's is definitely on the cards.

Salford Central seems to often get its suffix omitted (I know it only gained it when Salford Crescent opened). The name Battersby Junction was certainly in common use in the 90s when I was often round that way. Although hardly the busiest station, and now basically disused, British Steel...

Belfast only has NIR, unless you count the jointly-run Enterprise as being a different TOC.

Chandler's Ford was named after Raymond Chandler's Capri. Maryport was named after Mary Portas, Queen of Shops. Appleby was named after Kim Appleby, of Mel and Kim fame. Partick was named after local character "dyslexic Paddy". Durham was named as a homage to Henry Mancini, composer of the Pink...

The only way I can see this working is if they "do a Southend" and rebuild near the railway. But that's dependent on MME sustaining stable passenger volumes, which is far from guaranteed. The only other airport stations I can think of that have comparable outside walks from the terminal to the...

Yeah, fair enough. I've done Gilmour Street to Canal, but that's because I was up at the Cross, needed to pop into an office near Central, and Canal was handier on the way back.

Depends on how far you're able to walk throughout the day. Charing Cross to Waterloo East isn't at all rare. See also the Thameslink-linked terminals, Cannon Street, and Victoria/Waterloo via Clapham Junction (yes, really). Oh, and Vauxhall, as it's technically a terminal... (I've known...

Ooh, the Möbius Line!

Liverpool James St, given platform 2 is disused.

And that's it - the hundreds of thousands of homes, many of which are necessary, of course, are being extremely poorly planned, and forced through in particularly underhand ways...

Ah, I'm clearly out of date with my Ashwell prejudices :) I do get the impression that a number of Ashwell commuters are 'very well connected'...

My Local: Biggleswade Setting: Smack bang in the town centre. Insufficient parking for a station with a large rural and suburban catchment (and practically no local public transport) leading to further problems in the town, but great accessibility on foot and bike. Architecture: Low-key...

Ashwell & Morden is 2.6 miles from both Ashwell and the nearest of the Mordens (Steeple Morden). And still it gets a better service than Letchworth or Baldock...

Thanks. I'll warn her not to get on the very back at Cambridge!

Is there anywhere I can find some information out? I was travelling from London to Baldock the other day, at the back of a 12-car 700 and was rather surprised to discover SDO was in place, with the last few carriages locked. As it's quite a short distance from Letchworth, there was really very...

The biggest shame about the scheme is that it spoils my competitive advantage of parking at St Erth and getting a nice quiet train to St Ives instead of fighting the hordes at Lelant Saltings!

A pedant writes: first roundabout is Buckden, then Black Cat. Black Cat is planned to get grade separation as part of the A428 dualling. The bit round Sandy and Biggleswade, though...

"Clint" is another fun one. I'll let you figure out why.
