Yes, quite substantial but the cost of any sort of work on the railways always seems astronomical to me.

Anyway, it's a much needed improvement which should have been done years ago (when of...

Thanks for that. Sadly, on my visits to London I've never been lucky enough to see it open.

Yes, a sad tale indeed. Although, like most of us, I do at times get cheesed off at the worst excesses of the Heath and Safety brigade, we do need to bear in mind that a lot of it is for our own...

And why are so many coaches allowed to run with wheel flats which surely must do no good either to the coach itself or the track? I travelled from Euston to Birmingham the other week on a Pendolino...

I'd say the best spot is at Vigo. From Junction 1 of the M42/A38 in Bromsgrove, take the Alcester Road (signposted Burcot and HM Prisons!). Then just passed the village of Burcot, you'll go under...

As I read it, this was a school trip to a museum in Leicester so there wouldn't actually be a fixed route as such. That means that there would ber even more responsibility on the driver to take...
