Welcome to the WU forums. As a railway fanatic from Essex it's good to see a new site about a little known area. However I do need to make some criticisms which I hope you will see as constructive and allow you to improve your site.

First is the size of your pictures. On average they are around 135kb which is far too big for dial up users. You should be aiming for around 25 to 30kb. Try Irfanview for a free programme to rescan and resize them.

You are using bitmaps for your track diagrams. They too need to be converted to Jpeg and reduced in size.

Although regrettable, the E&OR visitor will probably be in the older age group and as such will notice things like poor spelling and punctuation. You need to run a spell checker over the whole site to pick up things like "bettween" and "ment". They detract from the overall impact of your site.

You also need to check capitals on proper names like "woodford" and "mile end".

I do like the muted colour scheme and the font you have chosen is easy to read. As for the adverts, Firefox and Adblock soon solved that problem.

Overall I like your site and it's subject and I look forward to seeing the changes you will be making over the next few months.
