    Tyne and Wear Metro unable to run under closed Gateshead flyover

    Sounds like a fair amount might be down then. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the overhead was untensioned in the tunnels, I assume because when built they wouldn’t have been able to fit weights and the temperature won’t vary too wildly down there. I wonder if whenever they get round...

    BBC Red Button Service Giving Wrong Information.

    Driving with Cab Signalling

    No. The issue there is management. Management always think vast and complex software systems are easy and expect too much to be delivered too quickly. Usually time or cost pressures add into this. Software Engineers are only to blame if they didn't speak up and bring down expectations.

    We need High speed Rail, but Is HS2 really Needed?

    Haven't they said that unlike HS1, freight won't be going anywhere near HS2 as it's a wholly passenger railway?

    Virgin Trains East Coast franchise to end 24 June 2018 and is temporarily re-nationalised

    Changing a font is never really simple though. All typefaces have different widths, so if they changed font, they could end up with some bits of text which they expected to take up one line in a browser, suddenly taking up two.
