Out of general curiosity, has anyone ever tried putting a gangway connection in the front of a 150/1?

Even for the seasoned rail enthusiast, I'm sure the idling sound of a Voyager outside your window every morning would soon become annoying. It's a shame the said Voyager isn't rake of MK2 coaches with those IC seats everyone gets moist over. Can of worms officially opened.

eBay don't give a flying **** unless you're lining their pockets. Pardon the French.

Euston to Paddington was once done in a very hairy 30 minute gap. Still managed to get there via tube in good time though.

It's an easier question to answer if you actually have examples from your current or previous jobs. Health and Safety (a regulation) affects all workplaces.. perhaps build an answer around that.

I think it's agreeable across the board that Paypal and eBay should be held in little regard.

If you were planning on heading out tomorrow I believe it is cancelled.. either that or it was never scheduled to run tomorrow. Conflicting stories there.

Sounds like a spot of galley gossip.
