@styles is this going anywhere?

Ealing Broadway was used at Oxford to discourage passengers from using the turbo stoppers for Paddington.

80km perhaps?

Presumably you mean the Slough & Windsor Railway Society, it's the old railway canteen/club. That's a distance away on the other side of the bridge and unaffected I believe. The fire was by the junction of the Windsor branch where the old steam shed and turntable were. There's no heritage stock...

I recall these strips on the turnback siding at Wembley Stadium, unfortunately the buffer stop got demolished by an errant train a while back.

The air cooling and wi-fi seem to be faulty on 216. Someone had been along with the window key while I was in Henley. Also it was not keeping time, we only just caught the 13:18 at Twyford.

Looks like there is a 166 on the Henley service today, I'll be back with a number if that's the case. 216 as below.

Interesting, thanks. The nozzles in question are small rectangular openings made from plastic, the pins won't help there. The bit of wire could be worth a try. I've got a weak clear vinegar solution in the reservoir which I'm trying. The pipework seems to be PTFE so hopefully no ill effects.

Anybody have experience with blocked screenwash nozzles? I've got a seven year old Kia, which is getting blocked nozzles every year. I think the culprit is dust and tree pollen getting in. I've sprayed WD-40 and glass cleaner down with limited effect. I've given up screenwash in the water as...

The question may be a bit obscure so I will award the next to @Gloster for being the nearest. It is the village of Jordans in Bucks. As in Seer Green & Jordans.

No he wasn't, he was born in Tower Hill, London according to sources. Reading is not his final resting place.
