Which reminds me, what happened to Henry Law?

Last posting by him seems to have been May 25 2006 after which abruptly
ceased.

You are right of course.

I was still in mode of advancing S-stock for 25 kV / NR approval for
the future when I far too quickly delivered the response above.

I agree. No less an authority than Dr Dionysius Lardner has warned us of the
dangers of high speed travel.

A much maligned character. What i didn't know, though, is that the GWR
brought Charles Babbage on board to analyse the behaviour of the broad
gauge:

Apparently he caused a lot of problems for other passengers as he he
operated his portable difference engine during the journey, it took up most
of the quiet zone...

A stock is not authorised to run on its own power anywhere on NR
infrastructure.

Does that mean it can't run on the Richmond and Wimbledon sections of
the District line?

Correct, though I'm not sure why you would want to. Clive's site[1]
notes various restrictions on the use of A stock on the District which
include a ban on the whole of the Wimbledon branch (not just the part
that was NR but is now owned by LU), and the whole of the Richmond
branch. One reason could be that A stock is wider than all other LU
stock (and I'm sure I read somewhere that it's wider than any NR
passenger stock).

I wonder what might have been changed if Babbage had ever got his computer
working.
