Fantastic footage showing great progress on the EW railway 👍🏻 It really shows how little land a railway takes up compared to a dual carriageway or motorway 😂 For the future more affordable railways are needed 👍🏻
@@chairmakerPete actually that is poor logic. What you are misunderstanding is that motorways were actually built for speed primarily and need the space to enable that at a relatively safe level as each passenger cabin or tonnage of goods are controlled by a human with no guidance. Rail track however allows a far greater density of passengers and goods and at higher speeds. It is hugely more efficient use of space and for getting to a location, obviously if you run one train a day it has less overall capacity but that is a strawman point. Your point about flexibility is in fact the inefficiency of private independent vehicles and their ability to form congestion and wasteful journeys. The trouble is because we focused too much on an economy based on private car ownership we opted to concentrate on building a huge motorway and A road network at the expense of clever design. All it has created is urban sprawl where people and business build around the expansive Road network thus making rail inefficient for those users but again that's more a question about our poor forward thinking in urban design not that "roads are better". A hub and spoke transport model using a mix of heavy and light rail, maybe with automated smaller cars for last leg journey in future is always going to be more efficient with bigger capacity than a random unmanaged network of individuals.
To the villagers who protest against the re-opening of a local two-track railway (often employing arguments remeniscent of the 1840s), what would they say to a 'Ministry of Roads' decision to build instead, a six-lane, lit, motorway with 24-hour roar of traffic. (I remember well, the proliferation of post-M1 motorway construction in the early 1970s).
This line (from Cambridge) is more important than HS2, as is transpennine electrification, as is relief of the Castlefield Corridor in Manchester. But the railway is being run by civil servants, not railwaymen.
I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.

Who's going to use it? There was a reason that it was closed in the first place. It will be unreliable because there will be the usual signal failures, staff shortages, strikes, animals on the line, trespassers and a host of other reasons that cause trains in the U.K. to be unreliable. I'll stick with my door to door at any time that suits me air conditioned car thank you.
I for one for a start as i will not need to take three buses to get to Oxford from my home town of North Hertfordshire, it take 5 hours just to get to Oxford, Plus the reinstated line has fewer stations and more houses and people since it closure, Plus rail tickets cost more because i have to go through London just get to Oxford.
It must have taken hours to get to cambridge from Oxford with all those stations so not surprised it closed but what will they do about the ridicoulous number of stations on the Marston vale line and the single tracks either end?
@@scottpeacock5492 looking at an old map this line once went all the way from Cambridge to Hereford it crossed over the Oxford to Banbury just north of Oxford, at Oxford north junction heading towards Evesham ,it would be great if that link at Oxford was put back,
How to say I don't like railways without actually saying I don't like railways. It's nowhere near as bad as you like to make out. It's actually quite nice travelling by train. try it sometime.

It's compact, but wouldn't get near the capacity of a motorway, or the flexibility.
Good to see it reopening 👍
@@chairmakerPete Naye, a railway has a capacity far exceeding that of a motorway.

Brill video it's good to see this put back,have the tracks reached Winslow station yet ?,
Don’t think so, but I do keep meaning to fly over there!
I wouldn't mind getting on this job I'm on m3 for balfour at the moment
just a shame its not electrified
Train maximum speed of 100 m.p.h.
That will be the line speed but trains might not be able to reach that speed in areas like Oxford.
Let me know if you need a copy operator
