Just a point aout the new double track in the tunnel.

As one track is not currently being used, won't it rust and get damaged?

I note that the book cover that's shown on the CLPG^» front page that the original post links to shows the double track.

I suspect that track doesn't get damaged by lack of use for a short while - though with a lack of maintainance, plants would grow through and in time become a problem. I'm in Cambridge this week and drove (!) pas the end of the guided busway, layed this spring and opening in November ... my immediate impression was "gosh - look at the jungle of plants growing up already through the track. No doubt they'll take a weed cutter along, or allow the plants to wipe the bottoms of the first few buses clean!

Thanks Will ... I'm giving your post a "bump" so it doesn't get lost between the double tracks. I look forward to the day that we can do a Wiltshire Walks book as part of the TransWilts Communtity Rail Partnership marketing plan.
