Where are you on the transport network?

It's on my list - nearly made it there about 10 years ago but not quite.

Spain by train: any recommendations?

I'm thinking of going to Spain for a couple of weeks in the near future. My preferred method of travel, as ever, is by rail. I'll be going there via France, stopping off in Madrid for a bit, and maybe heading down to the South coast somewhere. On a previous trip I did the journey all along...

It's on a fucking leyline, isn't it? Are you claiming that, just because you can't drive your car along them, such ancient ways are not part of our ancient mystical transport network?

In teuchter’s world, if something is not on the train network or not served by public transport, it’s not on the transport network at all. Much less so if the only practical way to reach it is by death machine.

You provided us with details of a tomb rather than the part of the transport network that is is accessed by. We can see some kind of track in the background of one of the photos but no information about this is provided.

The post clearly focused on an object that is not any part of transport infrastructure and therefore contravenes the laws of this thread.

Well I could have said ‘on the B4348, by Arthur’s Stone’, but only a complete pedant or a terminal bore would feel the need for the road to be mentioned.

I suggest you petition the moderators to change the thread title to "where are you". But it would perhaps be courteous to consult with thread creator and "complete pedant" danny la rouge before trashing his "terminally boring" concept.

Yep, I put up my pre Covid Ridge Way walk and no one objected. Presumably as Bronze Age people had no middle class teuchter has no interest in their modes of transport. Now had the mound been a Moomin mound he’d have been all over it.

What about tombs?

Well, how do you get there?

Tombs a portal to another world.

A cigarette butt in my local park. I got here using the transport network.

Are you sure that’s not Moomin spoor?

Slightly obscure Thames ferry crossing

A station in a pretty part of the country near Cranborne Chase.

The slow line from Waterloo to Exeter is a tour of bucolic English countryside, rolling hills and fields of pasture. Peaceful on the eye

 

[hash tag]

I have no idea where Tisbury or Cranboune Chase are?

 

[Elpenor]

North Dorset I think

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

The times I have ridden that line I have been upset that you can't see the cathedral in Salisbury, as in common with Russian hitmen I think it is a cracker and deserves to be seen.

Today I had a grand day out - Milton Keynes to Manchester , - walk to Victoria and home via Hudderfield / Sheffield and half the world to Herts. This is the 1215 to Sheffield via Barnsley - superb trip and across splendid Yorkshire landscape. Alas no sight of the iconic Huddersfield station cats - probably napping. Really reccomend it

My uncle and aunt lived there. Many happy memories of Tisbury as a child, to me it’s the archetypal large English village small town.

Had come to visit cathedral. Spire is 123 meters in height. Was detected by slush.

The Eclipse Busway- a road just for busses. Not a bus lane, a whole (unfinished) two way road just for buses from Fareham to Gosport. What a good idea. Of course, it wouldn’t be necessary if it was still a railway line.

 

[hash tag]

Shame the bus service is so rubbish and that Fareham is one of the most car dependent towns in the country.

It was the first time I've used it (had to drop my van off in Gosport for something), but the bus service was pretty good, I thought, except for a hold up on the way back due to roadworks.

Driving into Gosport, I saw the traffic going the other way and thought "bugger it's going to take forever to get out of here on the bus". Got on the bus, and 15 mins later, I was at Fareham Station, after whizzing down the Busway.

Maybe I was lucky.

 

[hash tag]

It was a strange time, but I hardly saw anyone on the buses and they are not very frequent.
