Europeo, cyclist, occasional London taxista. Aiming for more km on bike than in cab. Like books, beer, bikes, & hills. Bit of a transport & architecture geek.

Chelsea-Hackney line may have sorted Wimbledon branch. Obviously Crossrail 2 better use of central alignment (IMO).

No not Henham but about 500 metres SE from your church. Vague good, not that some of us need much excuse to explore maps/ GSV.

Beautiful, thanks. Took me a while to work out where this was as there’s apparently two churches with the same name a km apart. Used to enjoy the Cock at Henham too back in the day so clearly time for a revisit.

Can't wait for new Camden Town station to open.
Front cover of brochure for proposals for replacement of overcrowded Camden Town station. Image shows modernist curved glass fronted station. Air rights development that would have funded upgrade only partially visible in image. Electric Ballroom et al would have gone.

A tactical mistake? Could have offered the Muppets a level crossing to replace the one that closed in 1965 and when they whinged about that told them they could have a bridge.

Why do elites pretend to be common people? | LSE British Politics
Presenting themselves as common people has become a bit of trend among UK elites and politicians. This strategy is surprisingly effective, but with limits.

Guessing if you want to fly to Béziers there's probably little choice. Neil could take the train of course and there'd be plenty of room to read his paper and more time to do so.

Sad to hear this. Michael was a real mentor to me at the Bartlett when I was on the Town and Country Planning course in the mid 90s. We also connected again later on Twitter. A great guy.

I guess the counter argument would be Robertsbridge is a preserved railway with low speeds. Wisbech terminus could realistically only be a km beyond A47 so speeds could be low here too. Is the A47 significantly busier than the A21? Certainly more HGVs

Lorenzo H @lorenzoh.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Think Robertsbridge decision sensible BTW. Slow speeds and infrequent service. TBF pretty infrequent currently at Uckfield. Off to read BML2's fantastic proposals. Probably 6 trains an hour in each direction at Uckfield 🙂

Lorenzo H @lorenzoh.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Yes, looks to be much more space in Melbourne. Might need a trench through Mortlake et al. Flitting back to Uckfield I was reminded of a scheme even more fantastic than mine. www.bml2.co.uk/bml2-route-p... Interesting piece there about the lauded Gordon Pettitt's role in Tunbridge Wells W closure.

OK, I'll concede there may be a higher CBA for Barnes-Richmond for example but why not learn with a modest scheme in Sussex before moving on to something more complicated. 👍👍 I'm available at the usual consultancy rates. youtu.be/5T_auX_R4dw?...

Reckon the right solution for Uckfield is to build a beautiful viaduct 4.5 metres high with an island platform station near the current car park. Get the Victorians (from Australia not the 19th century in to do it). 10?? km to Hamsey. Promise to conduct aerial survey from Ridgewood Hill.

Also impressed with the 2+1 seating on suburban style train. First class on C2C?? Declassified? Maybe the time is near for a day trip to Leigh on Sea. Perhaps November when it cools down a bit.

👀h hello. Lived in Bish for a few years. The fact that South Street, Market Street and North Street could be used as a through route never ceased to baffle us. Guessing it's still the same judging by Google traffic layer.
