Looking at the site on Google maps, it seems there a lot of land I think Universal would want to buy, just so they can control the development of the area as much as possible. Even if they end up abandoning the project, tidying up the land rights and being able to sell a site without annoying residences and a single owner would surely increase it value to pretty much anyone.

I think it will all depends on what appears in the budget, politically speaking I'm pretty sure Reeves would love to be able to announce a full funding package of transport improvements and some tax credits for both Universal and Puy du Fou parks both would crowd at least some of the negative publicity of her other policies.

Ha! Yes, well the A421 flood is so close to the theme park site that it would be an issue if it happened while the park was open hence me covering it. Wait until the diggers turn up, that's all we will see for the next few years, diggers and concrete laying.

They are piling in the ground for new OLE masts. I suspect this has nothing to do with the MML OLE upgrade, but to allow the build of the platforms at Wixhams. The existing OLE is a cross span type, held up by tight wire between two masts. The tracks on the slow side are being slewed over to allow space for platforms, so the mast for the cross span OLE will need to be removed. The new posts are for the fast line OLE and similar posts will be put in on the slow lines when the tracks are moved over.

What went wrong? That easy to work out, if it is anything to do with central Bedfordshire Council it’s going to go wrong big time. They are totally pointless. Everywhere they have wasted money on flood defences it flooded worse than the time before they installed the defences. That gross incompetence by the central Bedfordshire council.

@Vince_Paul

@@ProjectUniversalUK think your find every council has a highways department, that is also funny enough responsible for the highways in its area. When any type of building work or highways are built in a council area, the council is responsible for it being built correctly and to regulations. So yes the council is responsible, for the road being built correctly. The road clearly has not been built correctly with the correct flood defence system in place, as the flood defence system got flooded so couldn’t function as it was designed to do. National highways would have only advised on the building of the road, they would have advised the councils highways department and the developers. As it is national highways job is to deal with operating, maintaining and improving motorways and major A roads and the safety of them roads.

No, no license if you are flying a drone of less than 249g. Over this and you'll face certain restrictions or need certification. I've done these but if you stick to sub 249gram drones you are very free to fly as long as you do so in a sensible manner.
