What an absolutely disgusting headline. We've always know that Sky are somewhat biased politically but this is taking it to the next level - http://news.sky.com/story/1587369/jihadi-jez-under-fire-from-his-own-side Should be serious action taken for this, especially in light of recent events...

Hello Switched on my ipad this morning, attempted to browse using google (on Safari and Google Chrome) only to find that the layout of the search results has changed completely, seemingly to prioritise mobile friendly sites. Layout is much more confusing and makes it significantly harder...

We're in a somewhat unusual situation where there is a relatively high probability that the current leaders of England's two main parties won't be contesting the 2020 election as leader. Cameron is almost certain to step down prior to the next election, and it seems the race for leadership is a...

An interesting vintage video published on YouTube earlier today. Seemingly PTE's version of a Bond film - it delivers a simple message relatively well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Orlo-aumU G2Orlo-aumU

Whilst attempting to organise a trip to the Lake District via the trainline website, I noticed there was a discrepancy between the website and the Virgin trains west coast timetable regarding Penrith station. Whilst the trainline suggested that numerous trains would stop at Penrith, most of...

Me and my partner recently purchased a two together railcard (more info here - http://www.twotogether-railcard.co.uk ) - an excellent idea and one which will save us a lot of money over the years. However when purchasing tickets from Newcastle station today on the self service ticket machines...

Inspired by a thread I have just read on here it seems to me that those who are colourblind and choose to work on the railways as a driver are severely discriminated against by the signalling system. Whilst I'm aware of the obvious cost of overhauling the entire signalling system on the railway...

Ticket barriers were introduced at my local station (Newcastle) a couple of years ago and since their introduction it seems to me that the gates are closed more and more sporadically. As I don't use any other mainline station regularly it would be interesting to know if others have noticed this...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NdYD1_AVSbo A fascinating video documenting the day to day running of the Tyne and Wear metro in 1989. Very good watch.

This ought to be fun and games for people travelling on the metro. http://www.nexus.org.uk/news/2013/major-line-closure-metro-27-days-august

Thought it may be appropriate to set up a more formal thread for the discussion of weather. It's something which I have had an interest in for a number of years now, and I know that at least one other member of the forum has an interest aswell. I hope that this thread won't turn entirely into...

Disgraceful scenes at the Queen's tennis tournament final. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18479244 Surely this violence cannot be condoned.

Came across an interesting video on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHwLQcKPIrk I must confess to not knowing much about a "compressor" or indeed what might cause it to fail like that. Would be interested to find out some more information. Thanks valenta.

Just stumpled upon this very interesting up and coming Railworks route, the graphics look stunning and though the route is still a WIP, I gather that the creator has spent a lot of time on it. Obviously, this route is of particular interest to me, but I though that other people may wish to be...

Hello, Went on a Grand Central from Sunderland to York about a week ago, and I was pleasently surprised that despite not having a first class ticket, I ended up in a first class coach - at least, that's what it used to be. Coach A (formerly coach F) in the 12:28 from Sunderland - London was a...

Hello With today being the last day of summer, thought that it may be appropriate to create a thread reflecting on the weather throughout June, July and August. Indeed, it was yet another case of the "Great British summer" with frequent showers and longer spells of rain, punctuated...

Football fans will note doubt be aware that there have been various stories in the past few months about players voicing their opinions about various subjects regarding their respective club on twitter. The most recent one being Joey Barton, and (along with Jose Enrique) he blasted the clubs...

A derailed train is causing havoc near Newcastle. Delays of upto 45 minutes on Northern Rail services. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/sac4ec034e244435a6d962ae7b1cc356/details.html Anyone have further details on this?

Apologies if there is already a thread related to this subject but Edinburgh station was looking very depressing when I was in it last week. Covered in scaffolding making it very dark and gloomy. The posters at the stations don't give much away. Has anyone got any further information regarding...
