    Crossing the Trent and Mersey canal, by Colwich lock No 21, Mallards by request (sort of). Canals are no better than railways for the encroachment of the canalside trees. The movement of the A4 was 86 minutes late, a check on the disruptions...

    For the second year in a row the weedkiller train (that I had been checking RTT for but missed due to my Dad being ill over the weekend) ran on a wet day. I only happened to see it by chance when I heard an unusual diesel horn and noticed it...

    Personally, I don't see any speculation. All I see is a very poor article which many will wrongly interpret as a failure by the railway. I will admit that was my first thought but quickly realised this was very far from being the case. I just...
