Is 1830 track laying permissive, so a new tile need not connect to neighbouring track?
The rulebook's placement test is permissive, and the forum agrees on the reading.

Yes. A placed tile need not connect to the track on neighbouring hexes. The company placing it must be able to trace an unblocked route from one of its stations to at least one track segment on that tile, and the link may be completed in the same turn. A company also cannot start a fresh network in any city, since the route test applies everywhere except the listed home-hex exceptions.
