You are not asking about Single Line Working you are asking about the Working of a Single line. Two completely different things. To answer your real question - it depends and one line can be bi-directional and the other a dedicated route.

Not necessarily - you could put a resistor in series with the heater to work on your power supply. Of course your heater wouldn't be 50W any more but it might be warm enough.

There's nothing stopping you adding a resistor in series with the relay coils to reduce voltage across them.

Wolverhampton (High Level), Tipton and Dudley Port

Well I have been in the Civil Engineering game for 50 years and such considerations of this sort were always in place.

Compare and contrast as they used to say:

If you are a club - ie an unincorporated body then look at Charitable incorporated organisation ( CIO )

Meths is ethyl alcohol together with Methyl Alcohol and Pyridine that gives it the a nasty taste together with a purple dye. Surgical Spirits is Ethyl alcohol and benzalkonium chloride. Surgical sprit is clear. White spirit is a hydrocarbon derived from petroleum. It's a mixture of chemicals.

For the sort of wire stripping you will be doing for DCC I suggest you look at these: https://workshopping.co.uk/products/auto-electrical/automatic-wire-stripping-tool-pistol-grip?srsltid=AfmBOopt_8rZASLxjl6X6kniqHO_kL403wWIHpqrC9AnicBbALfX5xPiKow

The mileage from London to Birmingham is about 120miles. Are you seriously telling me that over half the route mileage is properly to be in tunnel! What are we building here another cross-rail or an extension to the jubilee line? This simply utter madness.

DAS clay or fine Polyfilla. Polyfilla would be easier to work.

The elephant in the room is this: the first stop out of London is the NEC/Birmingham Airport. People assume that the HS2 will greatly benefit Birmingham by linking it with London. Unfortunately what is most likely to happen is that the area around the NEC will become Birmingham's Canary Wharf with high value service industry decanting from the city centre to the NEC. In fact as the NEC is now entirely in the hands of the private sector I could well see the demise of the NEC and the redevelopment of it's area as Birmingham Canary Wharf. Birmingham will then begin a rapid decline.

Yes of course. London is any where south of Watford and East of reading. It's just that North London is north of the Thames and South London is south. Simple. As soon as the Kingdom of Mercia gains a political foothold we'll be shot of London as well.

Was it ever thus: "And now, every fool in Buxton can be at Bakewell in half-an-hour, and every fool in Bakewell at Buxton. on the arrival of the railway" - Praeterita vol. 3 (1889) ‘Joanna's Cave - John Ruskin The glaringly obvious alternative was to up-grade the old GWR route to Birmingham with electrification and new signaling. This was always THE route to choose to travel from Birmingham to London. No one in their right mind chose to travel from New Street to London. It is still the most pleasant route to travel even today, even if it takes a little longer.

It's south of Watford, so that makes it North London in my book.

Never mind the "good folk from the whole of Wales and the West Country". I want to get on my train at Wolverhampton and arrive at Euston. I don't want to have to get off at New Street and walk to Curson street and then only end-up at some way short in North London.

64 miles of tunnelling for starters.

There is no doubt that a separate line offered the best solution but burdening it with the ludicrous speeds together with all the environmental baggage that resulted from the ludicrous speed is why it is a disaster and the laughing stock of Europe.

The economic justification relied heavily on the time saving. It's contribution to the ability of the project to meet the Government's investment criteria (every pound spent results in £2 of value) was heavily dependent on it. Even then the project barley met the criteria and it's main benefit was heavily slewed towards London. If the project was to create extra WCML capacity that could have been achieved by a much simpler, and hence lower cost, solution by providing a 140mph route. HST was nothing more than a glamour project of the last labour government. The failure of the Conservatives was to allow it to proceed.

Quite the opposite - aerospace uses Lead solder because of the risk of "Tin Whiskers" arising from Lead-free solder.

Are you sure the wire you are trying to solder is copper? If it's Aluminium it won't solder.

They are already connected if you look. Prove it with a multi meter.

And in the world of stadium design they still are!

You could print onto self adhesive A4 labels. If paper I would use 250g/sqm. The glue I would use would be Roket card glue by Deluxe Materials.

The wire that sits inside the nib and can be heard when you shake the pen up and down. If you take it out you essentially get a Bob Moore pen - and once out (except for large diameter pens) you won't get it back in. A one way street.
