Missing out on a Saturday of ticket sales and drinking will be costly for Yorkshire...

Do any 73s actually use the third rail now?

Also, aren't the 700s 100mph units, and the 387s 110mph units, so could the extra speed be usuful on Kings X to Cambridge services, at least on the ECML to catch up on late running for example?

Barring weather, you would expect England to win 3-0. But you'd really hope that England will be forced out of 3rd gear, as that was the easiest innings win I've seen.

It's also because of back to back matches, so gives an extra day before the Lord's Test next week, which starts on Thursday. Otherwise I'm sure this game would have started on Thursday as well.

Whether it should is one question. Whether some politicians might think it an attractive political idea, is a different one...

Ee bah gum tickets surely? ;)

Exactly. That is the wheelchair/buggy area.

One of the things which GBR needs to do introduce is a proper consolidated App, one with way more functionality than either the National Rail one or the current operator ones. Having just spent some time in France, while the train services were a mixed bag, the SNCF App is superb. Yes you can...

This series has been moved forward to make space for the 150th anniversary England Australia Test in March. Hence the weird locations to enable the games to be played in their winter!

Last week (I've been away) I was very surprised to see Metroline VWH2092 with a MASSIVE advert on the side, blocking the 2 windows next to the wheelchair area. I'm really surprised that this is allowed.

Miniscule numbers though, in a modern world where people use Google Maps and other travel Apps to plan their journey. And even if they had misguidedly booked the Gatwick Express, thinking that was the only way to and from the airport, they'd see a massive 12 car Thameslink train turn up while...

Before they had opening windows retrofitted, the London Borismaster bus had an air cooling system which wasn't powerful enough to cool down the interior. It did reduce the humidity though, as emphasised when on a bus where it wasn't working, the upstairs was horribly damp and steamed up. So the...

Another issue with a lot of flights from Gatwick, and indeed other airports dominated by budget and charter airlines, is that flights often depart at horrible o'clock, and if people are having to arrive at the airport at 5am, rail use is less attractive or indeed practical.

Kind of full circle, considering that the 484/5s were created out of the dedicated Gatwick Express 460 units :E

Root is rated as the number 3 Test batsman in the world, and number 8 ODI batsman, so not doing too badly :D

I think the official divide of England is - London, Manchester ("The North"), whatever ;)

Modern trains with SDO would solve the Woolwich Dockyard issue

Southeastern would seem the obvious one. It would be embarrassing for the new PM to do a big video at Derby about manufacturing skills, if a big order like this was to go elsewhere.

It was 26 years ago :o but I'd forgotten that I did the day trip from Toronto to Niagara as a organised tour, which started with a boat trip across Lake Ontario to Niagara-on-the-lake, then a coach to the falls, which was a much more interesting day than going all the way by tourbus.
