    New Adlestrop Railway Atlas

    Thanks for highlighting this and thanks again to @Doctor Fegg! (This was subject to a thread merge, for context. ;))

    Most influential railway and transport journalists?

    Funnily enough, I was going say something similar, but I tried to keep it positive instead! :lol:

    Most influential railway and transport journalists?

    And those who aren't influenced by him should be.

    New Adlestrop Railway Atlas

    An unexpected late Christmas present for everyone! Thanks again for your work.

    The Architecture The Railways Built - Series 3 on UKTV's Yesterday channel

    Her accent was enthralling as she seemed to drift between the two! :lol:

    Film about a hijacked train

    Better than 'The taking of Hastings 1H23'...

    RAIL magazine

    It is "what BR used to do" heavy in the opinion pieces, I very much enjoy the historical insight, but do sometimes wonder whether they're too heavily skewed by that (though I don't think it detracts from Ford's work at all, in particular). The thing is though, they're all too often proven to be...

    RAIL magazine

    I gave up about five years ago. Just became too clear that they were aiming to be the mouthpiece for the industry, I imagine their business model is now dependant upon industry funding, particularly when they were running the Rail business events. I think once you're in the industry you can see...

    New Adlestrop Railway Atlas

    Glad to see you're up for finishing it, thanks for your work so far! It's a great map. I dread to think what year I first downloaded it, prior to the north being added, many moons ago... :lol:

    Any good publications regarding nuclear waste trains?

    You should ask the Civil Nuclear Constabulary...

    Ciclismo: new electronic/ambient album 'Blue & Grey: an incomplete history of British Rail'

    Glad to see Mark Radcliff/BBC Radio 6Music doing sterling work as usual.

    Incredible collection, such a great resource. Thanks again for your efforts.

    Rail Atlas Great Britain & Ireland (15th Edition)

    Yeah, same here. It'd be sad to see it end, though I have to admit I haven't brought one, or rather been brought one, since I was a kid. I've long fancied getting the first edition second hand if at a good price. I wonder whether a 'remastered' version of the first edition might be a good/better...

    Rail Atlas Great Britain & Ireland (15th Edition)

    Is it known whether there'll be another edition after this one? Maybe that's played a part in the inclusion of these distant predictions.

    They're WMT now, were always Virgin until around late 2018 or early 2019.

    Quite fitting that you have to use a CRS code to find it...

    ITV Trouble on the tracks

    I agree, it made various aspects look bad, but I felt the portrayal was largely accurate. I thought they actually underplayed how consistently chaotic New Street was almost every day for MONTHS last year, as they couldn't really get into the details of how badly the timetable worked on a daily...

    ITV Trouble on the tracks

    I haven't seen the episode and have no knowledge of this specific incident, but at New Street it has been known for Dispatchers to stand beyond a Red mid platform Signal and give a hand signal, usually slow down initially, at the far end of the platform, indicating where they want the train to...
