Quote The latest London fashions may be obtained in the larger stores. But possibly not for much longer?

812	All across the Great Western territory / Looking forward - after Coronavirus to 2045 / Re: Passenger journeys per head of population across the UK	on: December 07, 2020, 06:51:43
Population estimates are often rounded to the nearest 100. At this distance from the last census nearest 1000 might be more appropriate.

Rovers/Rangers?

Quote I didn't realise you could get that stick-on brickwork paper the modellers use in a full-scale version. Cladding, hopefully not flammable.

815	All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: 2019-20 Station usage figures	on: December 04, 2020, 07:10:01
Quote For info - I have just incorporated the latest 2019-20 data into my clickable map of trends in railway station usage: http://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/tej202/stations.htm Thanks. Out of area - Highlights the increase at Longcross as the large new housing development proceeds. Not sure how many more houses are to be built (plus) and how decrease in commuting to London (minus) will affect future figures.

Speak with forked tongue? Quote The PM said the "ambitious" target would see the UK^▸ (United Kingdom) cutting emissions faster than any major economy so far. And he urged other world leaders to follow his lead at a virtual climate summit on 12 December. from https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55179008

817	All across the Great Western territory / Diary - what's happening when? / Re: Imber bus day, Salisbury Plain	on: December 04, 2020, 06:55:58
No Imber bus in 2020, but a coffee table book to make up? https://www.dewilewis.com/products/the-plain Photographs are excellent. Only one actually in Imber, but others you might remember if you did the various bus routes. Covers West, Central and East parts of the Training Area. Apart from the cover, virtually all are sunshine or clear skies, none of that all to common Salisbury Plain rain. Life has obviously advanced since I was in; Portaloos! we just irrigated the undergrowth. Waterstone's in Salisbury has copies in stock. No, I guessed very few of the pictures on the web site.

820	Journey by Journey / Thames Valley Branches / Re: Reading Green Park	on: December 01, 2020, 15:11:19
Just done a circuit by Reading Green Park. Have got to the stage where they have something looking like platforms, the Basingstoke end. Generous clearance when a container train went through. How do they compare in width with passenger stock? To chilly to wait for a passenger train.

Be interesting to see them undo the destruction of the Euston Arch. I believe some bits of it were found, some years ago, in one of London's lesser rivers.

Surely "the do nothing option" is anathema to our elected representatives who feel they must always be seen to be doing something?

Quote The distance between a person?s home and their nearest mass transport hub is often around five miles in rural areas. There must be some bright ideas from those of us who don't live in large urban areas! https://www.bikebiz.com/government-seeks-views-on-boosting-rural-transport-connectivity-with-e-bikes-and-digital-mapping/
