The painting of (essentially largely) England’s railways as a UK brand rather grinds and possibly sums up attitudes to the UK nations and regions and devolution more generally.

Maybe the solution is actually consistent wayfinding: bring back Double Arrow and Rail Alphabet.
If ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper keep their strong branding and so does Transport for Wales and Translink (NI)…

…doesn’t that mean Great British Railways is basically Great English Railways with a British flag paint job?

As someone who cycles it x3 a week, I love the Roseburn path.

But the business case and journey times are clear that the path is the most efficient route - so if proposing all of these longer & slower routes, it’s important to recognise the £100m’s extra they will cost to both build then operate.

Also John Allan literally got away! Played for Scotland then left for S Africa and played for them!

Tom Jordan does all that and gives you a ten cover too - all with better form the Owen Farrell?

He’s one flight away too.

For example: Why not Tom Jordan or Blair Murray?

Would a new terminal between St Pancras and KGX work? bsky.app/profile/edin...
Wondering @jonworth.eu whether the capacity constraint at St Pancras around security and departure lounge has a quite simple solution?

Should Pancras Rd become a two tier security & additional boarding area for #CrossBorderRail - covering the gap between KHX and STP?

Oh dear. I remember from stations mgmt how resistant estates were to losing shops! 🤭

Isn’t the right answer to think what public space is best appropriated (including next to the current business lounge - wouldn’t it be great to repurpose that road!). Could create something great!

Hard agree in the above. Plus Cloisters, Kay’s, Captains or Oxford Bars. Not all necessarily in one sitting. 🥴

Plus walk up Arthur’s Seat or Blackford Hill and get into neighbourhoods: Bruntsfield, Stockbridge and down at the shore.
