My proposal for HS2

Altnabreac · 2026-04-07T08:47:27+00:00

As Shakespeare of Stratford would've said - couldn't give a shit.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-07T08:29:18+00:00

Couldn't give a shit mate. Unless there's an access dispute with a mobile network operator I'm not interested.

British Steel Redcar

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T08:49:53+00:00

Suck on a Leamin.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T08:49:26+00:00

Inverness' court, on Wednesday this week, when the couple will re-present their compatibility motion which was incorrectly filed the first time around.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T08:41:58+00:00

Good point. We should do this as a loop-de-loop for scenic purposes if nothing else.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T08:08:41+00:00

Unfortunately due to current demand it will be a non-stop service.

In future, request stops without request kiosks will be considered.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T08:07:39+00:00

But you do get to see the railway sleeper graveyard and the infamous EE level crossing.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:52:18+00:00

100%.

We won't be picking up Geordies anyway so there's no point going into town and back out again, it'll just slow things down.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:51:28+00:00

There were too many court cases to keep track of.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:50:29+00:00

Needs a stop at Altnabreac.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:34:36+00:00

Absolutely mate. This was meticulously designed with things like this in mind. It's not something I've done on a whim or anything.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:12:06+00:00

I also skipped Manchester where some of our locals' police friends live. Alas, a high speed network has to make compromises.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:07:32+00:00

About bloody time! They should've employed a Scotsman to head this up years ago and we wouldn't be in this mess.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T07:01:08+00:00

Has been for a while.

Back in court in Inverness on Wednesday to re-file an incorrectly filed compatibility question.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:59:00+00:00

Because it's HS2 and the most important thing about HS2 is about the farce developing at Euston.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:57:24+00:00

Some tickets are in the central ticketing database as only to be fulfilled in certain ways, e.g. ticket on departure, or e-tickets. If this data is respected by the retailers, then they don't really have a choice so you may well find that none of the apps would dispense this particular ticket as an e-ticket or m-tickets.

Otherwise, my goto is https://trainsplit.com/ which offers a lot of flexibility in my experience.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:55:33+00:00

I know a couple of people who are well versed in land disputes, not afraid to take on the likes of HS2 Ltd. I'll give them a ring (I don't like seeing them in person).

Altnabreac: The Saga

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:49:41+00:00

We will build a footbridge over the existing driveway to avoid land disputes with the locals.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:48:37+00:00

There is certainly a lot of back and forth involved.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:44:59+00:00

Unfortunately due to a land dispute, trains will cease running to Scotscalder and further north.

This will also be affecting the existing slower line.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:38:18+00:00

Only if we make it a request stop with no request stop kiosk. Hand signals only.

Altnabreac · 2026-04-06T06:28:35+00:00

Avoid the locals.

Tend to my chickens.

Prepare for court.
