A new HQ is to be established for Great British Railways, it can be anywhere in UK
GBR will own the infrastructure, receive the fare revenue, run and plan the network and set most fares and timetables. Where would be the best place for the new HQ - Assuming it hasn't already been decided, old cynic that I am :grin:
Crewe ?
Sodor... :yahoo:
Now I know where that is without having to Google :grin:
My guess would be not far from wherever all that crap is done currently to avoid paying a fortune in relocation. As an alternative guess Mumbai.
NOT LONDON!
erm....Doncaster
Gotta be in the north surely ? Manchester even ! :grin:
surely Stockton or Darlington!

My guess would Stoke on Trent which is an equal distance from many cities in the North.

In the future, we will be sitting on the roof and holding onto the sides of trains Mumbai style the way our population is growing.
well, it's unlikely we will be able to afford tickets!

Stick the HQ at Downing street.. The way things are going that will become vacant very soon..

Some of our population have already got that ability in their genes.
Crewe seems a logical choice.
I guess that pretty much rules it out then.... :grin:
Just about certainly!
well if its to be British Rail then Donny is about half-way between Londinium an Gleska.....
i once saw a video on You tube about a guy on top of a train in India... most trains are electified now so no roof travel.. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: but they couldnt get this guy down, he was entertaining the crowd dancing on the roof of the coach, taunting the coppers [which is a really stupid thing to do] but as his performance was alcoholically induced he didnt care, but then he lost ballance and grabbed the overhead cable to retain his position, there was a flash and he landed on the platform fried.... so folks no longer travel [upstairs]...
He certainly went out with a bang. !!
Many do. Many do. The perils of age. :sad:
