Re: RAIL LINK TO AYLESBURY MOVES A STEP CLOSER

Sometimes it works, Jack, sometimes it doesn't. I have pressed the
'options' buttton above your posting and the 'reply' button then shown.
This has brought up your text in the reply box, but it is a luck of the
draw whether or not, when I post, that text appears - lets see shall
we. ( I have done such earlier today on other Google groups, being well
aware of the conventions, and no text has been posted) (IMHO, however,
when there is only one post in a thread, to copy that in a reply is not
netiquette, but a total waste of time, as it is clear to whom or what
the reply is addressed. It is, however, a different matter, I agree,
when there are several posts.)

And can you explain this?

Google Groups is only
used by a minority of posters here, due to its limited functionality.

Do you mean this forum can be accessed other than through Google
groups?

So far as the proposal is concerned, I shall believe it when I see it.
When I left beechy Bucks 31 years ago, the Bucks Herald was forecasting
the imminent reopening of Winslow station

So what, actually, is proposed? An extension of the service from
Bicester to Verney Junction (is the line still there?), then a
reversal down to Aylesbury via Claydon Junc, back up to Claydon and
along to Bletchley. Or Oxford/Banbury and then down the existing
Chiltern line to Princes Risborough, reverse along the Aylesbury
branch and north? Or reinstatement of the Oxford/PR line?


Re-opening and upgrading Bicester Town - Claydon Jn. - Bletchley and
Aylesbury - Claydon Jn for passenger use.


Cliff - PLEASE remember to use the 'Reply' button *at the bottom of the
'Show Options' page* when posting via Google Groups and quote relevant text
from the post that you are replying to, so that people know who you are
replying to. It's basic common courtesy ('Netiquette') to follow the
conventions of the newsgroup that you are contributing to. If you don't then
you will probably find yourself in a lot of people's killfiles and your
valuable contributions to the group will get ignored. Google Groups is only
used by a minority of posters here, due to its limited functionality.
