Now you explain it, it seems obvious.<br />Have a good summer,<br />Regards, Geoff.Geoff and Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766994382229800306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30116820.post-64526792848555913302011-02-25T12:40:01.698+00:002011-02-25T12:40:01.698+00:00Hi Geoff and Mags,
I hope you don't consider ...Hi Geoff and Mags,<br /><br />I hope you don't consider me pedantic, but I'd like to explain the junction names in central Birmingham.<br /><br />- The junction with the 'roundabout' in the centre is Deep Cuttings Junction. <br /><br />- Although the loop that heads off to Sherbourne Wharf seems to leave the BCN Main Line at Deep Cuttings, it is actually slightly offset and is considered a separate junction. This is 'Old Turn' junction, which kinda makes sense as it heads of on the BCN old main line route.<br /><br />- As I'm sure you are aware, Farmers Bridge Junction is the anomaly, as it isn't really a junction any more. It is the area above Farmers Bridge locks in front of Cambrian Wharf.<br /><br />Sorry if this is all obvious, but I thought your readers might like a bit more detail. Hope to see you out on the cut again soon!<br /><br />Neil<br />Hotel Boats Snipe & TaurusUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179017780455176559noreply@blogger.com
