I would expect to see electric driverless trains driven on magnetic levitation tracks. What an opportunity to put in some modern railways ! |

That'll be DMUs trundling up and down badly re-laid track then.  |

I would expect to see electric driverless trains driven on magnetic levitation tracks. What an opportunity to put in some modern railways ! From reading the link and noting the oft used careful phrase "were closed to passenger services" I deduce what is meant is using some existing freight lines for passenger trains. They will be slow trains stuck behind creaking freight trains so probably just for oop north. Then they can harp on about x new services in the North, despite said services being akin to travelling on a freight train. Not that I'm cynical... |

There was a line here that got closed to passengers bit they continued to use of for freight. Eastliegh to Romsey via Chandlers ford. They fully reopened it after volunteers did up c'ford station. It now carries a service to Southampton. Quite useful.
There has been numerous attempts to reopen the freight line to fawley as the traffic to and from there and surrounding areas is awful, buss that take ages and a passenger ferry service to the city centre.
One day it will reopen as the only trains that go there are normally the steam train specials.

One day it will reopen as the only trains that go there are normally the steam train specials. The Bristol to Portishead line was refurbished recently and carries huge (Australian) coal trains from Royal Portbury Dock. It is on the list for opening new passenger services. When the police shot a suspect driver on the A469 recently and closed the road for a day there was nothing but narrow country lanes linking Bristol and the motorway to this large dormitory town. Which begs the question - why does police business, even when they are not involved in an incident, take priority over tens of thousands of drivers who rely on using the public highways to get to and from their job, or to the airport, or to their holiday destination, or to the hospital for a long-awaited appointment? Close the road or M-way for an hour, maybe, but for a full day or even longer (with drivers stuck in a traffic block with no support, no toilets, no nothing) - it makes me want to spit in their faces. Accidents happen, sometimes people die, but no-one assesses the real cost of all those delays, both financial and emotional. |
