Now I'm looking up the location of the new Balgray Railway station .... look on Google Maps to the east, and you can see where the tracks widen for an Island platform that doesn't exist - the location of Lyoncross Station which was never finished! A ghost railway station ...

New station Cambridge South opened on Sunday ( 28th June ) so here's the updated list of stations since 2020, we're up to 2597! Unofficially, I think the next four to open could be: Okehampton Interchange ( Devon ) Balgray ( East Renfrewshire ) Butetown( Cardiff ) Winslow ( Buckinghamshire )

Yikes! WARM WEATHER 🥵 this week ... www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/rail-pa...

Aaaaand! REQUEST STOP MAP updated ~ thanks to everyone for their contributions ~ it looks like we're down to 101 request stops now!! Download here: geofftech.co.uk/downloads.html

A fascinating discussion has sprung up from the "one platform tube stations" video involving former stations Did Ongar USED to have one platform and more built later? as Carto Metro map says it has 3 platforms! and what about North Weald? Did the EOR heritage line build new platforms, anyone know?

thanks to the person who sent me to the excellent kentrail.uk website, which [ following on from my video yesterday ] shows a steam train at Chessington South, and people standing on the side of the unused platform - amazing! kentrail.uk/chessington_...

NEW STATIONS! Here, have expanded my "New stations since..." list to include the ones coming up in the next few weeks. AND! i've drawn a map to plot where they all are. please give me feedback [ typos? ] or just "xyz needs to nudge down a bit", that sort of thing. Otherwise, enjoy!

A crowd sourcing moment this morning! Can you help? I snapped this picture of bus stop 'U' on the Strand last night, look at its Night Route tiles. It's actually missing a couple because if you check it's served by the N9, N15, N21, N26, N44, N87, N89, N91, N155, N199, N343, N550, N551.

New Station! Opened this morning, Northumberland Park on the Northumberland line becomes station #2590, which means there's just Bedlington left, and could be the next new staiton ... [ unless Pineapple Road, Kings Heath or Moseley Village open first that is! ]

Did a big update on the HS2 Diagram that myself and @railfocus.bsky.social are putting together, it's on my download page here. If there's any typos or suggested edits we'd love to know! geofftech.co.uk/downloads.html

I caught up with it at Hammersmith, saw two units out on test trundling up and down the line. Official TfL line is that the trains will enter service in the second half of 2026.

Can you help figure this is out? A well known high street pizza chain is offering discounts if you run a GPS trace in the shape of a pizza slice, and this is the example image they're using on their website. What IS the station/area shown in their map, or has it been made up? Any thoughts?

Just a quick plug for @tubemapper.bsky.social new 2026 Calendar, which I have a copy of and is as excellent as always! Grab your copy from the link here if you want it on your wall for the new year! tubemapper.com/buy-tube-map...

Oh! I almost forgot. it's LEAST USED passenger figures today, as the ORR release their new stats for the year. Here's the new Top 10 list of least used stations - Elton & Orston is back to being the least used! Download the data here: dataportal.orr.gov.uk/station-usage

Heads up! This week is new Office of Rail and Road Stats week, which means the new list of Least Used Stations will be out ... this Thursday morning, December 4th. dataportal.orr.gov.uk/station-usage

[ posted this earlier, but removed and typos corrected! i think this is good now ] NEW STATIONS! with Blyth Bebside opening last weekend, and the new Beaulieu Park opening tomorrow there will be a total of 2,589 stations on the network!

Microsoft introduced the Office 'Ribbon Bar' in 2007. Which is 18 years ago now, and in EIGHTEEN years I *still* find myself having to Google things like "Where is the Find function in Word?", because 18 years later, I still can't find it, I still want to use the 'Edit' menu where it used to be ...

I've finally updated my Request Stops map! We're DOWN from 135 to 113. Who want to check for errors? 😀 - All Greater Anglia ones removed! - Shakespeare Line ones, removed! - Wales lost a few, but Scotland is the same? - is Plymouth Dockyard still request? - And what about Ferryside and Kidwelly?

there'll be a video somepoint this week ... ;-) [ photo credit : Alstom ]

Folks! Am doing an update to my Request Stop map, not been updated for quite a while! have any NEW Request stops come along recently, or have previous Request stops now become regular ones, do we know? thanks all.

sometimes, i just like to dig out old photos from a very long time ago ...

Feels like this is the week to mention my "Air Conditioned Tube Map", if you want to download it - it's on my Downloads page. I've not actually updated it since last year ( hence says '2024' ) is there anything that's changed? geofftech.co.uk/downloads.html

Just a reminder ... that this was THREE YEARS AGO Today! May 24th 2022. One of the best. weeks. ever.

The new Hoopers Court (Step free! Lifts!) entrance at Knightsbridge Tube station is now open, and it uses old corridors/passageways that have been abandoned for many years and brought them back to life!

Ok, in case you've lost track/count, here's every new station that's opened recently, with the date and station count!

Class 555 Newcastle Metto Video .. incoming! Who'd like to check my map? Typos, missing place, something not quite in the right place! Lemme know ... [ thx ] 😀👍

Had a Class 465 / Network South East kind of morning! That ... was fun. [ Video hopefully tmrw ]

So a new 'Decades' video is out TOMORROW, but in the meantime I posted another new Member Only extra video yesterday where I visited the new Ligne 11 on the Paris Metro! If you want to join up to my Members for all the extra content, then the link is here ... thx. www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1...
