The way it seems to work with governments, if they are going to upset you they will get what they need and more!

That doesn’t sound very clever!

It seems that £1.50 was an unrealistically low price so they are trying to make up for it! Shame on them,,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-speed_railway_lines Quite an interesting read……

It’s not what they built it’s how they built it! China for example basically copied the Japanese high speed rail, and who knows what their costs really are/were. The shin kan sen (spell) I first rode in 1976 I believe from Tokyo to Nagoya. They started slowly and developed techniques over time...

Great points; however looking at the Chunnel, its utilization is still far below the original planning assumptions and seemingly HS2 will be the same way with a much smaller footprint and higher cost and longer time than planned.

Unfortunately Lyn, your opine is very well placed! While I am not impacted personally, watching through these threads a simple description might be: you are not getting what your original expectations were (by far), at a much higher cost and much later date. Does anyone know what the final date...

Wonderful photo!

I wonder why they stopped doing those, the trains and boats were always full, not the least the beverages and food that were sold on the boats! I understand nothing lasts forever but in 1961 and apparently longer we're still going strong!

Is there a new estimate? I would imagine the trains would be scheduled around high traffic times, if so what happens to the equipment in slow traffic times, if that had been published.

I did Liverpool to the IOM two mane three times. Party started as soon as we left Snow Hill, great day out!

Is the schedule for 6 trains planned for most of the day?

When did it go vacant and what is going to go there?

Looks like an uncomfortable key board!

Welcome to The Forum A North, a really fine place, great folks and information, enjoy!

My goodness, so much still there. Where are you located?

I was wondering that. Are there any weight restrictions on those old bridges?

No but based on the introduction, it should be very enjoyable. The $10 is not so much anymore with inflation the way it is.

Got it, just read the introduction! $9.99 USD.

Thank you! I’ll give that @ try too see if it available in the US.
