The document titled "Forum" is a collection of letters from readers of Modern Railways magazine. The letters cover various topics related to transportation and rail infrastructure in the UK. One letter discusses the concept of intelligent wagons and their potential to improve safety and maintenance on the rail network. Another letter raises concerns about the withdrawal of a daily return service between Glasgow and King's Cross, highlighting the impact on connectivity and travel between Scotland and other parts of Great Britain. A third letter compares the costs and feasibility of upgrading the trans-Pennine rail routes with the Great Western route modernization. The text also mentions the devolution deal in Greater Manchester, which has led to proposals for additional local passenger services that may strain the capacity of Manchester's network. The cancellation of the HS2 project from Birmingham to Manchester is expected to put pressure on Manchester Piccadilly station. The text suggests that building a diversionary route via Skipton and Colne should be a priority to provide extra capacity and avoid congestion in central Manchester. The text also briefly touches on topics such as braking techniques, online ticket sales, and the history of the Leamside railway line. [Extracted from the article] |
