    @big jim Looking at real time data for 11/10/21, were you held just before Five Ways for P5 at New Street to become available? - or they like holding you to your booked path/plfm? Thanks as ever.

    Is it known if the air bags went off on the Bridge?.....

    Is/was the Outside Siding run around not available or not big enough? TIA. Couple of articles on the new Smart Weed System Train here and here .

    Also, on the far bank, you should be able to see grooves that the hundreds of tow ropes will have cut into the corner of the bridge arch. The cows are positively bucolic - differing responses from the Canal and River Trust compared to NR in this case...

    WTAF?.... Is it powered by compressed air or exhaust from the local council chambers?....

    TBH did a double take thinking it maybe was a still from that 1988 BR TV advert... Presumably, 'lectrics into Hardendale ended when Ravenscraig closed?

    Do you happen to know When and Where it was taken?

    Is the 'tell' particular to these sidings or applicable more generally? Also, apologies if mentioned up thread but is this flow for general aggregate customers or for 1 or 2 specifically? TIA

    This article reveals near the end that " ...several other smaller fires broke out aboard three other San Diego-based ships in the 15 months leading up to the fire that eventually saw the Bonhomme Richard scrapped."

    Is there an explainer somewhere about the IR(?) lamps on the DBSO?

    Is that section of catenary a leftover and no longer energised then?
  17. WessexEclectic
    And stay under the wires?

    The Official WSR, yes. Have heard stories of testing shoe-gear/3rd rail interaction (before the introduction of Eurostar to Waterloo services) with 4-VEPs(?) giving Mallard a run for her money on the Headcorn straight...

    https://youtu.be/ZW0SxfRShI8 They don't make 'em like this anymore - Ships or documentaries. End card says filmed in 1986.
