thanks Chris .. yeah an interesting distinction is that i think what you and I would call a bridge, HS2 are sometimes calling a "Viaduct" whether it's a bridge or a viaduct!
it's an evolving map though - it might even be finished by the time HS2 opens! 😂
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!

Ok, it looks like:
N97, 6 miles?
N277, 6-7 miles?
N472, 7 miles?
are the potential "Top 3" shortest Night Bus routes!
How to accurately measure them to find out ??
that's graet, thank you! looks about 6-7 miles long! definetely a contender ...
Good shout! looks like it's just over 7 miles long ?? ( thank you )
So I've found a fabulous TfL FOI which shows that the three longest TfL Nightbus routes are the N199, N89 and N9. But what about the shortest Night Bus route ( N prefix bus ) - does anyone know what that is ?? 🤔
[ thanks ]

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.
Matt was out yesterday getting pics of the new 2024 Tube Stock that's on test, and coming to the Piccadilly later this year. My own photos coming right up!
a supreme pun, Jay.
I crust you’ve been saving that one for a while!
you're a real pizza work, Gavin!
[ amazing stuff - thx! ]
oh my, YES! I think it is !! FIRST reply, and you get it! THANK YOU
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?
