The state of play. Birmingham to OOC in progress. Euston all-but confirmed *Something* will be built from Birmingham to Crewe (God knows what) Something *may* be build between Liverpool and Manchester Leeds will eventually get a tram. Maybe. East Midlands and Sheffield: Nothing

What we’re hearing suggests that a lot of Conservative MPs hadn’t quite realised that they, individually, each represent 0.8% of the entire vote in the leadership race

Have to wonder if Chagos doomed it for Cleverly.

(As in "yeah sure 6-platforms works just fine")

So my email re Euston station got a reply yesterday. Wasn't long but the caseworker did say that he agreed with my points and did promise to pass on more news if they get it. But maybe I shouldn't have said "Even a six-platform High Speed station would be a good starting point".

I'll let you in on a secret. Last time I used the WCML, I got my tickets via Trainline and that also sent me an early alert.

What in the name of all that is holy??? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'It is actually just dangerous'

The problem gets worse when there are delays to trains. If you have mobility issues or small children it would be very difficult.

The rush is such an issue that if you are an Avanti Silver member, the train operator sends you a text with the platform number before the station announcement on the boards - so you can dodge the dash.

When people start running it gets even worse.

The basic problem is too many passengers are trying to get through a small space in a limited time.
