http://www.metro.co.uk/news/858657-security-guards-given-police-powers this from the metro, although on the face of it a logical idea, i wonder how long before the power rush goes to there heads! could be even more fun for photographers and spotters, especially if it was to become common...

i think you seriously need to investigate as to whether the university course you wish to do is A. constructive to where you want to go B. will also give you a realistic chance of getting there, in the past,when university courses when funded, they were always set up in accordance with the skill...

personally with the panoramic views offered by the low seats, i don't feel there is anything better for bumping along the Devon coast on a nice sunny day, best of luck to them!

you are not going to loose money having one and if like me, you only tend to visit one or two locations on a trip down you will find it cheaper, win win

Fare capping A 'capping' system was introduced on 27 February 2005, which means that an Oyster card will be charged no more than the nearest equivalent Day Travelcard for a day's travel, providing that the card has been touched in and out correctly for all rail journeys. Price capping does not...

if you were to start a not for profit TOC you would have to fund it entirely out of your own pockets as no one is going to invest in your company,

just a tongue in cheek remark Zoe, something i would like to see happen but when it does it will be the result of a lot of hard work by alot of people all working together towards a common goal in the interest of the people, pretty much everything HS2 wont be i should imagine

maybe they should spend the money joining the great central railway to GCR north, that way when we have all finished banging our heads against the wall we can have a bloody good weekend out,

warrington would be a good shout up the WCML, living in rugeley i doubt crewe would offer to much different in terms of freight, mostly liners over the back, at least at warrington you have a bit of variety as for south from rugeley i would be heading for didcot or newport, obviously if you...

my guess is they will stay with chiltern, the problem with the 67's on long distance routes is the size of the fuel tank, 1200 litres i believe

http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/ this site will give you a list of all the rail tours it was on, it didn't have the steam deflectors removed until 1963 so its after then, if you can ID the station you should be able to work it out,

if the reason they introduced the restrictions was to stop people using them as cheaper alternatives why did they not just raise the cost of an all line rover? surely introducing a weird set of ad hoc restrictions is the standard british method of complicating a simple solution!

big fan of the 3rd picture down, dont know why and i am sure in the world of HDR its far from perfect but i like it none the less, nice to see something different

my missus gets a lift to work everyday with 2 of her collegues, she won't tell them that i like my railways for fear of said snide remarks, the irony is the husband of the woman that drives is also a keen enthusiast and the new partner of the 3rd women has a passing interest in railways as well...

in my experience (limited) the longer you wait to hear the better you have done! ( not fool proof but my observation is that those who fail tend to hear about it pretty quickly), 1600 applicants for 60 jobs, in terms of driver jobs that is a pretty good ratio so as long as you are good enough...

did virgin not do a charity auction last year for a cab ride from crewe - holyhead in a 57 on the sat pendo drag and then a first class seat for the return, looking out for one of these and having deep pockets is probably your best bet!

When the HST's first came out the drivers were given a badge, one of these drivers gave me theres whilst on temple meads at an age when i was too young to remember, my dad kept it and i still have it to this day!
