Helllo,

then I'd have to replace all locos and EMUs. Then I could as well replace them by 25kV stock and introduce another 750V line anywhere else. For the goal of using different kinds of rolling stock, I'd still prefer electrification at 1,5kV.
And before I forget it again, your IR-133 has problems at Robbleside! Oh, and remember the timetable of the local trains at Robbleside
I just looked at it and found nothing.
Maybe someone has fixed it in the meantime?
Maybe a through (night) train(s) from Chris to Ribbleshire?
I made a proposal on
Octobre, 19th and received no response, so I'm assuming that it's accepted.
But not at this turn.
Non-stop through Neneshire (and of course, some trains from Neneshire to me
)
I'll hope so, otherwise I'll take some trains hostage! And it's a long way to bypass me!
Does anyone know some tips and tricks on how to have road traffic? Cars and lorries.
Eberhard had road traffic in when he was still in the Teamwork, and his big
“Model Railway” in the JBSS Archive had a lot of road traffic; there is also an
extended Model Railway by Andreas Stein

It would be difficult to maintain 15min transfer time with trains from 4 directions (Ardrossan – Perth, Northampton, Eranthas, and a second one to you). I'll should make an Interrail tour through Switzerland to research on this, but I think they simply direct these people to the next train, which tends to arrive after 30min. Or we offer a luggage transfer for our IC/IR passengers; my trains already have a wagon for mail/baggage/express goods.
Oh no, not more trains! These ones will (hopefully) run at night, and will be able to run at full acceleration and linespeed on account of them not having any sleeping people on them.
Nightly Mail trains? Hm…they wouldn’t use full accelation, since paper can become very heavy in such numbers. Maintenance trains with monitoring cars?
I heartily recommend a trip to London, where you get the privilege of stepping down onto tube trains in places.
That needs only a trip to my local main station, where we can see trains with entrance for 55cm platforms on 76cm platforms.
Edit on Saturday: Although The Netherlands use 1,5kV=, they are planning to upgrade to 25kV at some time in the future. New trains have room for an additional 25kV transformer and when OHLE insulators are in need of change, 25kV-capable ones are installed.
Maybe an option for Ribbleshire, extending the existing 1,5kV network and preparing for a later conversion to 25kV.
(where later means: beyond the scope of our Teamwork)
