Oh, summer #train #timetables start today, not that any GB service operators are going to tell you here (or even on Bluesky)…

Bizarrely worded #NetworkRail article: “[changes] apply to the 8 train operators in public ownership”, but #ScotRail and #TfWRail are omitted from the list, and even that it is a standardised date when •all• timetables change.

#GBRail, integrated much? 🤷‍♂️🙃

Rail timetable changes this Sunday deliver more seats, new overnight links and the return of a classic service

42,000 extra seats per week on London Northwestern Railway services, including more than 14,000 between Birmingham New Street and London Euston, boosting capacity on one of the country’s busiest corridors. The return of the ‘Flying Scotsman’ as LNER restores London to Edinburgh departure times that closely reflect the historic mid‑morning timetable of the iconic service. New ‘through the night’ services to Manchester Airport by TransPennine Express, providing hourly overnight trains to support early‑morning and late‑night flights.

Not for me the great railway journeys of the world! Orient Express, Indian Pacific – bah, humbug. For a delightful couple of days of trainage give me the humble, little old branch lines of Cornwall. Workers' lines, that served mines and now-silted and defunct ports and took mangel wurzels to market and tell many-layered stories, if you tune in. How in St Austell's name did they escape the closures? I'm glad you asked that question. Overgrown halts – this one is on the Tamar Valley line to Gunnislake – are still in use, and the commuter carpark is full! The weirdest, funniest of them all is the Looe Valley line, which uses an extraordinary topological trick. Story and pictures to follow; meanwhile, just lookitup.

Railway experts, please your views on the rail type and their likely dating.

Context: here used as gateposts, with one showing clear acetylene or other flame cutting evidence. Along a mule trackway, no evidence of being a railed way, to an early 19th century manganese trial in a valley overlooking the Nantlle slate quarrying area.

I'm assuming the rail came from the Nantlle rail connections, but a date would be useful.
