Richmond Underground

Richmond Underground, at this point it is just as Overground and the Overground.
.
Confirms the good service with trains of a length that warrant the title of "train"
.
Will be interesting if the "D" trains proposed to substitute some of the North's ageing rolling stock ever happens and just how long they will be.....bets on 4 cars maximum as in the North we have let our platforms shrink over time to match the short train length .....another fine mess Network Rail.
.
Seeing as you can't get round to electrifying the TransPennine and East Midlands routes, maybe the spare time could be used to stretch and renovate the weed covered platforms that you have fenced off to save money.....nothing like forward thinking is there! You can start with the Penistone line and while you are at it provide more double track sections to permit increased services. Bear this in mind when you finalise plans for the upgrade of Huddersfield station as well.

And at the same time, remove some of the undergrowth between the rails. We don't ask for much.
