    Thanks Mark. Perhaps we ought to call that type 4 sub-base (the black material) 'finishing sub-base' - as there is lots of traditional stone below that along with a sheet of Terram under that? Kind regards Mike Hart

    That would seem to imply two things:- 1. No weight is given to either (a) the proportion of support to object comments, nor (b) the (perceived) validity of any objections that are not about demonstrating something which is outwith planning...

    @RailWest - read the report and draw your own conclusions. 25 pages are given to detailing the responses, usually by professionals, on behalf of statutory consultee organisations. Only 5 pages summarising the public comments. That kind of...

    On the GWSR Broadway extension we levelled the original trackbed, then ferried out ballast from a central point with two big dumpers. A JCB then levelled the ballast piles, on terram, to 8 ins high. We tried a laser attachment to the JCB, but our...

    Based on experience of a crossing in Southampton Western Docks I would guess that corrosion from road salt may be the real enemy. A different track system (more traditional British) but the rails were rotted out in about 5 years. ABP didn't stint...

    @35B - I don't disagree but I think in this discussion (and possibly within L&B management in the past) there has been an over-emphasis on worrying about local objections to planning applications. Cultivating good local relations is very...

    1. Comparative numbers of the number of ‘valid’ (or invalid) objections or supportive representations are impossible to obtain until the consultation period ends. 2. The actual number of objections is irrelevant. The most important consideration...
