There are all sorts of things children might do one day. Should schools cover every single eventuality. Schools should stick to the core subjects and ignore all the mumbo jumbo.

I guessed that was the case. 1787591927 I did think of checking the density but the report did not specify the type of fuel so wouldn't have been able to verify what 446,000 litres of fuel weighed. 1787592105 Surely you would think even the BBC would say to themselves that is a road tanker is...

BBC article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyz37zzp22o Article says A 25 wagon train was carrying 75.5 tons of fuel. So 3.02 tons of fuel per wagon????? What am I missing here? Would that would be 75.5 tons per wagon?

Are you serious? Train arrives at destination, you leave the train. Must remember, sit on train for 10 minutes waiting for crowds to subside. I see to subscribe the the Peter Hendy School of Safety Management. Stay at home and don't travel at all. On hang on homes aren't safe.

I see so what you are saying is on the railways the passengers have to take responsibility for their own safety and it is nothing to so with Network Rail or the train operator.

I think an airline evacuation is slightly different with fire risk being the biggest danger so the urgency of getting out. And I think the airline will take a responsible attitude in caring for passengers. This guy seems to have been left to his own devices. I suppose another reason to have one...

I must Google some of the crushes where people have been killed. Wasn't there a fatal crush at a Glasgow football ground. Not to mention people getting pushed off of the platform. On one day I was watching some poor woman pushing a small child in a push chair. Some people could see the apparent...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9dx1298v7o People have not been able to get their personal possessions as Network Rail say it is unsafe. One guy can't get his house keys or his passport so can't travel back to Norway. The photo shows people standing on the side of the coach which seems...

When I was commuting into Euston before the gate line was modified there were horrendous, and incidentally dangerous, overcrowding exiting the gateline. As a consequence passengers packed the front of the train so they didn't get crushed by the mass of people coming from behind. Made worse by...

That is a good point, when the main line was double track the incline would have been more gentle. I wondered if the crossing went when the New Line (Watford High Street to Euston) was built but when the main line was quadrupled makes sense. Since Queen's Rd was made one way and the link to the...

I know where Loates Lane is, that sort of makes sense. Queen's road where the parade of shops is one way. Loates Lane currently runs parallel to and at the back of Queen's Rd. in the other direction. So driving from Watford Junc you turn right into Loates Lane and go around the back of Queen's...

This is Radlett Rd in Watford where it goes under what was the London and Birmingham and now WCML. This is the route I drive into Watford. But what has always bugged me is this a tunnel or a bridge? This would have been built as double track widened at some point to 4 tracks. I assume the brick...

What didn't you understand, they have a disability with vision. Who said they tolerate the Bakerloo. They are flying into Heathrow and looked at the map and saw Bakerloo goes from Paddington to Lambeth North. I gather Paddington Bakerloo is step free, is that not the case...

Thanks for that. That was only part of the reason for checking. I had been on a travel web site and a visitor was asking about getting from Paddington to Lambeth North. The person had limited abilities, mainly vision impairment. Some people suggested taxi from Paddington to the hotel near...

As many as 5 buses a day. There are places that only have one bus on the market day once a week. But at least the fare is capped at £2.
