    Ah yes, the great GWSR carriage shed conundrum! It is being actively looked at, lots of people have different opinions and there are various conflicting constraints. For what it's worth, my own view currently is that there will always be a need...

    There you have part of the problem, there is no room for an 8 coach carriage shed at Toddington, where services start. There is room both sides of the line at Winchcombe. Then, from which end do you approach it? How many roads, given that the...

    We do want a carriage shed, but can't decide where and how big. Not to mention the cost ... The canopy gang could make quite a bit of it, and reduce the cost....

    Repairing carriages on a contract basis is expensive. We have spent a six figure sum on 2 MK1’s which were both operating prior to repairs. In both cases we could have done even more work to them. Many MK1’s are coming to the end of their...

    Thanks - the original print said a 2800, but from many other prints by the same author I know that he made mistakes in his later years.

    Here is the B&W picture: [ATTACH] AI mistook the steam cloud for sky, and made the train enter a cutting, whereas there was plenty more cutting behind it, obscured by steam. It's the cutting between Springfield Lane and Broadway station. The...

    Hmm, who translated the ' double crossing soft spot ' I wonder? Do they mean a double slip, perchance?

    Very slightly shifted: - the main building is longer, due to extra toilets - the footbridge was installed 2ft too long, leading to an incorrect position on P1 - the P2 building is longer by one truss . The approach road to the horse dock was...
