  • Thanks, I didn't know stock needs to move for other purposes, too.

    The problem with the Victorian loading gauge has interested me for a long time. I first heard about it nearly thirty years ago and ever since then I've been thinking: If they'd only started back then/at some point, they'd be so far along by now ...

    As far as I remember, the number of really problematic bridges is small, but they're mostly in town centres, where any rebuilding would be an immensely difficult nightmare.

  • It always surpises me how many random trains I see on the Gospel Oak - Barking line. Guess it gets used to shuttle stuff around.

    I read somewhere that the HS2 trains came at about a 50% premium due to the smaller loading gauge.
