@BeautyOfTranspt @networkrail 2/2 It's part of the railway design language & hopefully comes with less maintenance issues over time. Hopefully design deals better with such issues as weathering/water/rust issues than say the one at Kirkstall Forge that seems to have maintenance failures built in.
For... reasons... I have a particular obsession with @networkrail's suite of standard station footbridge designs. They are nowhere near standard enough - still too many clunky bespoke designs around - but good to see a Beacon bridge going in at Garforth. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
@BeautyOfTranspt @networkrail 1/2 It's an odd design dynamic; everytime we developed a 'standard' solution in LU there was inevitably a 'special case' & cost/design compromises of amending a 'standard' design became problematic! One thing I like here - brick as a railway vernacular...
The Government’s National Insurance cut is like someone sawing off your leg and then saying “we’re giving you your toe back”.
Today we remembered Robert Smith, an LNER Police Constable who died in the air raid on York station on 29th April 1942. For the first time Robert and his family have a memorial stone marking their resting place in York Cemetery.

The Beatles’ song ‘I Am the Walrus’ is based on Lewis Carroll’s poem ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’. Later, John Lennon ‘realised that the walrus was the bad guy in the story’ and he should have sung ‘I am the Carpenter’.
Stylish 1936 Railway poster of Harrogate designed by Arthur Cadwgan Michael (1881-1965) a painter and illustrator. His life story and particularly his private life makes an interesting read so to speak. The posters were obviously not aimed at the working class.
