    that would be a qr code but requires backroom it infrastructure (servers, scanners using phone would be a bit risky and someone to set it up and maintain it) they are easy to setup to act as a way of linking website or specific pages

    the connection time is based on using the south corridor midway down the platform no border control when I last used it db ice trains mostly go from platforms 3 to platforms 6.if your eurostar train is running late ask the on board staff for the civ railstamp and under civ rules you can travel on the next available service

    Also the factory and court process is in Scotland under roman law not English common law
  20. Redkiterail
    I believe the kits are built to order so there maybe no actual stock to sale for last order also this is going through a court process not a sale to other party which may change what can and cant be done

    problem is St Pancras the only long platforms which can accommodate the current make up is the international platforms with different non uk signalling system and security issues. the other platforms are only slightly longer than a emt hst. Kings cross they will have reduce the train length to fit and also need paths on the north london line to reach wembley depot for servicing The current system for the highlander is that one driver takes the train to Preston where a driver change happens then the shunt moves at Edinburgh then separate drivers for at least 2 parts of the train. The lowlander will have a similar method of working where one driver will work it then change before the shunt at Carstairs. There is no rule but only 3 platforms at Euston fit the current sleeper formation and then one of blocks other lines when at Edinburgh they use platform 7/11 as all the carriages fit into plus room for the shunt moves. The only way for Kings cross or St Pancras to be its london home is to reduce the train length which would in all case increase fares to cover the reduction in train length. When the train leave Euston is path around the last day trains with loop stops to allow class 390 to pass by and for engineering works to take place as its the last train before the block is put on or go through a diversion route in one hit. You could run two trains one on the ECML and one on the WCML put will have to be planned around the engineering works which is around six months in advance and it has been know for the sleeper to use ECML during a big blockade and or more than weekend works and even some weekend works if there is no other option. The Inverness portion waits in a loop for the Up Highland Chieftain to pass it so it can use the same platform at Inverness. Serco will run under the existing model until the new Mk5 sleeper stock and class 73/9 and class 92 with mods are running with with out incidents before trying other routes or concepts So any new routes or train formation will have to be checked with Virgin WCML who ever takes over the ECML gbrf who supplies locomotives and drivers
