And here is the promised track laying visual summary: Section 5c Overview - 6 Aug 26 The plain images (in addition to the several pan- and zoom-able images) are worth enlarging; lots of interesting details to be seen there (e.g. stacked...

I think Fireline’s post shows it’s rather more than the paperwork. There’s also ballasting & tamping of the whole line. Installing & commissioning the signalling (both rail and road) for 3 level crossings, plus a passing loop and a terminus...

When we first relaid the track we saw all these drainage ditches alongside the miniscule embankments, and some people thought we ought to clear them. Then we realised they were borrow ditches, left and right, to win material for the little...

@MellishR - follow the link in @jnc 's post above and you'll find the answer, at least for that section of the railway. No doubt RVR'll prefer to source such materials locally whenever they can.

The intention is that it will be first used in 2028. I suspect that the track will be complete before then. However, there's fencing, wiring, tree planting, crew training, route proving and a whole host of imponderables to be dealt with before...

I guess one reason for the hopscotching is the need for temporary road-vehicle access to locations requiring major civil engineering works including several bridge, culvert & embankment sites. Track can then be laid on a section once road...

Oh, right; my memory is failing again. Your post a while back indicated that it was the Junction Road one that was (then) planned for November; my brain clearly swapped 'A21' for 'Junction Road' (probably because that would be in order, along the...

@jnc - In the August update video Mike said Junction Rd. crossing works are planned for the end of October; and the A21 crossing hoped for in the spring of '27. [MEDIA]

Very early in my career I worked for a small(ish) manufacturing company. At a meeting about new products the MD summed up the discussion as “so what we need is a Cheap S**t Unit for the export market”. The R&D man wrote down ‘CSU’ and took it...

Not the first time it's been suggested. When the M1 came to Leeds the highways authority didn't want to build a bridge over the Middleton Railway due to the cost and asked what the alternatives were. The then chairman of Middleton (Fred Youell)...

Where there's a will there's a way! I mean, if the Kiwi's can put a level crossing over a runway, then what's to stop one on the M25? At least the vehicle traffic will inevitably be moving slowly, so hardly any additional hold up ... [MEDIA] Tom

Miff antwortete auf das Thema Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I agree with @35B - leave it to the railway and/or their planning consultants to refute objections, if necessary, in a professional manner. They will be watching, as anyone can, the incoming comments. Stating the reasons why the railway is a...

Miff gefällt Fenways Beitrag in dem Thema Denmark's First Steam Locomotive in Action.
At the Danish Railway Museum in Odense, they built an authentic replica of the country's first steam locomotive from 1846. Like so many first generation steam locomotives of that era, the original "Odin" was also built in England by Sharp...
