Hi Dave, welcome aboard.
As I'm only about 3/4 mile from the old Stour Valley line (Stoke) I will be interested to hear anything you have to say about East Anglian lines.

Politically the railways have always been a second class citizen in the UK. i find it curious that Transport Minister is not one of the top jobs and is filled by either people going up or coming down to/from higher things. We have been lucky in that Adonis and, after a shaky start Hammond proved to be excellent home secretaries and I am hoping HS2 will be built. Lets hope the new appointee will follow two class acts.

Welcome to the Forum Dave.
I hope that the posts on the posts on this Forum are more acurate than those on Wikipedia, well most of them! Hell is likely to freeze over before I contribute to Wikipedia, but then one should never say never! Best wishes, John H-T.

John
think of all the useful knowledge you could contribute to expand and improve Wikipedia! Its not perfect - it would be helped by not having open access editing but having a definite log in protocol. Regards Dave
