I was thinking about doing the Heathrow branch tomorrow. I understand that it isn't very straightforward to do because of the various junctions and curves.
Any advice about what 'clearing the branch' would involve would be gratefully received.

Funniest comment I've seen ages. :D:D:D:D:D:D:DAt least it made me smile.

It's about the same for me. No new lines bashed this year but I did have great plans to clear the far north of Scotland. :'(:'(:'(:'(

October
Newark North Gate - Newark Crossing East Junction
Allington North Junction - Grantham
Grantham - Allington West Junction
Sleaford South Junction - Sleaford
Flyover East Junction - Black Carr Junction (the direct ECML link, not the Decoy dive-under for avoidance of doubt)

Don't think I'll be adding to this list for a little while unfortunately.
