The Most Isolated Station in Wales - Dovey Junction
zhlédnutí 87KPřed dnem
It's often said that you can't exit from Dovey Junction - the most isolated station in Wales, and as I've only ever spent a few minutes there changing trains, I thought it about time to investigate fully and spend more time at Dovey, taking a ride on the Cambrian Coast line. The 'Station House' is actually from the disused Glandyfi railway station which closed in 1965. Have a look at the fantas...

How Long Do Tube Doors Stay Open For?
zhlédnutí 55KPřed 21 dnem
I've often wondered which Tube Line doors stay opened the longest .. or the shortest. Are they set to a particular time, does any line linger at stations more than any other? I fired up the Stopwatch App, and timed some trains ... If you want to go deeper than my simple timings, here's some proper research: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03611981211056640

    Geoff, You should mention about manual operate (by pressing button by train driver) level crossing at Barmouth. One of few this type solutions still in use. We need automatization. P.S. Line has no semaphores, just "in cab" display with all information - this is European Train Control System (level2), but still level crossing in Barmouth and Porthmaddog is operate manually (so ironic!)

    I'm a local in Shrewsbury (even though I live in the outskirts of the town) and I must admit I knew about the exit from Dovey Junction into the main road to the next stop which is Borth, where I've stopped for a few days' holiday. The proof is that if you can look outside on the left-hand side from the train windows you can see it. Believe me, I've been past Dovey Junction before and even changed trains there from Borth to Tywin and vice versa.

    Why don't you ever call out these companies for giving us terrible seats? Trains used to come with comfy seats with large cushions. Theres NO REASON why they can't at least have a bigger seat cushion as it would take up no more space. They blame the regulations when the guy making them literally said they never banned comfortable seats.

    You should walk the old railway from Hooton to West Kirby. They kept the station at Hadlow Road, Willaston, as a museum. There is tons of history on the route, at Neston, nearby at little Neston is the birthplace of Lady Hamilton, Dove cottage, at Parkgate is the house she took holidays when she lived in London and the Port whete Handle sailed from to perform The Messiah in Dublin, at Thurstaton is the home of Thomas Ismay of Tittanic fame, and so much more on the route.

    In 1970 I attended my first ever Scout camp at Arthog, just a little way up the estuary from the bridge. Twice we walked from the site to Barmouth and back via the bridge, but I don't remember any tolls/trolls then. This summer I will returning to North Wales for holiday and hope to travel at least part of the Cambrian Coast Line.
