    Pendolino Sickness

    Ah yes :smile: I think you were right with the original values. No need to halve the values. First year of mechanical engineering is taking its toll on me. ;-)

    Railcard price increase

    Im on my first year of the student offer. Natwest have been good with providing the railcards. I doubt they will charge us for the price increase since the 5 year deal is legally binding.

    Clear all the fussing which PC do you like the best?

    I have been following this thing with VP185s/Valenta Vs MTU. To be honest I much prefer MTU's because they were there to increase the HST's life. They are cleaner and much more quiet.
