Honeybourne looks set to go from one to three platforms in the space of a decade (assuming all goes well for the GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway)). Is this the fastest station expansion in history? It'll be interesting to see if they put up heritage-style platform signs on the new up platform, would be a nice touch...

At last, I've got some photos! You are indeed right willc, the house by Minety crossing is in no danger whatsoever. The road could do with a fair bit of work, mind.

With articles like that, why on earth not?

I may head out to Kemble tomorrow to get a few photos of the current state of the line beyond Kemble tunnel. I'm quite intrigued as to how they're going to manage with the level crossing at Minety.

I'll be honest, I may have plagiarised the title somewhat. Kind of like Duke of Monmouth and Duke of Gloucester, you might say

I rather like the fact that rail improvements tend to follow me everywhere I go: lived in Falmouth for three years, loop gets installed; live in the Cotswolds, line gets doubled; live in Brockley, Overground gets opened; move back to Stroud, line gets doubled. Next stop Chipping Campden?

Hello, new person here 

Used to work at Stow on the Wold YHA and quite often caught the train from Moreton in Marsh. Am very pleased that the line's being redoubled, though it is a shame they're not lengthening some of the platforms as well. Hopefully we'll see that in the near future.

Does the new platform at Ascott mean it's going to get more than one train a day, or is it just going to have a similar service to Shipton, which also has two platforms?
