First Group generally is in a state of flux. An activist investor - Coast Capital, a New York hedge fund - is gaining in influence. It currently owns about 10% of First shares, and wants it to pull out of UK non-profitable bus services, possibly rail too, to concentrate on the services where it...

If you mean because of the disability access, then I find it astonishing that wasn't done at the same time. It's modular - does that mean it can habe a ramp bolted on? There's more to it than meets the eye. A lot of earthworks have been done, some signalling, a fair bit of pre-assembly, and...

I read elsewhere that HOOP will be expected to do about half of the total work, with the rest by traditional methods. It is a fantastic bit of Four Sprung Duck Technique, which I look forward to seeing in action in due course. It's the first all-in-one that I know of, even though bits will...

'Fraid so, Tiny Tim. See http://travelplus.org.uk/best-and-final-bids for detail, including plans etc. The route had been preserved since the early 1980s for the oft-mooted, but never organised, Avon Metro project. That goes to show how little can be achieved when neighbouring authorities can't...

By way of evidence, I offer this: which is alongside the new cut of the river Avon, heading towards the City Centre. Sadly, this will be destroyed soon, to make way for the Bus Rabid Transit scheme. Just through the bridge in the second picture is the city docks, within a 2-minute...

Very hopeful, by the look of the article.

Some fool has applied for funding for one of these Bus Rabid Transit systems in Bristol. You may have guessed that I am not a supporter.

Somebody has - not necessarily NR, nor anyone who asked them.

Take a look at what Blackpool's tramway has coped with over the last century. Hinkley C! Perfect.

Depends on the state of them. If they are old and knackered, they go for scrap, or just get left somewhere. If they can be "cascaded", such as former mainline high speed rail being used on a freight line or low usage commuter line, they will be. This report...

True. I bought a decrepit house 2 years back. We had to start again with the plumbing, and I weighed the old pipework and cylinder in (£75, £3.90 per kilo). Went back a few weeks ago with the leftovers and some other stuff, by which time copper was £6 a kg. I was paid in cash, no names, no ID...

This is fantastic! I would do it myself, but for a puncture.

Eye-watering. Not far off London prices, but without the congestion tax.

Dream, maybe, but remember who the local MP is.

As long as what it's going into is bigger than what's going into it, it will fit. This is true of many things.
