Googling "convicted for racially abusing white" turns up at least three different examples on the first page, including - interestingly - a white person convicted for racially abusing other white people. Same for "convicted for racially abusing asian". I can link news stories if you want, but...

I'm not sure there's a single country in the world where causing someone to fear physical violence is covered by the protection of freedom of expression. There is an obvious grey area, but a racist tirade from someone who is obviously drunk - and therefore unpredictable and potentially violent...

Oh, hadn't noticed that at first look - yes, that definitely helps too.

Class172's version without the colossal darker grey stripe in the middle looks very nice IMO.

It seems to me that many of the comments in this thread take the form "The passenger would not be prosecuted/penalised if..." - now, I'm sure the vast majority of those in revenue protection have excellent judgement and as a result this is true in most cases. However, in a small proportion of...

It's an interesting point but I suspect (/hope!) we're a long way from being so short of usable space that we have to cram PV systems in suboptimal places - and hopefully before we do get that short, energy storage technology will reach a point where it's possible for electricity to be...

Not nearly as much if the same cells were put in a field somewhere sunny, and with higher installation costs - as well as making maintenance of the track bed more complicated and adding extra equipment that would require a possession to maintain. They could. However lithium battery...

No, it doesn't. Google's cars, despite their engineering might and insane amount of training miles racked up, are very inclined to stop when in doubt (for example because someone skateboarding the other way on the other side of the road trips their "idiot detector", or because it sees a cyclist...

For what it's worth - the booking system does show the £20.30 fare via Leicester for outbound trains where the Derby->Leicester leg leaves after 10:00 (IE would arrive in London outside the CI restriction). But it also seems to show it for all the return journeys, even where the...

About half the length of each of Bare Lane's two platforms is fenced off and heavily overgrown.

The main benefit being that then there's 50x the pressure to provide adequate facilities at stations and keep them off long routes.

I asked a German friend if they could find age numbers for German stock. They couldn't for DB Regio but the average age of DB long-distance stock is 23.

So to be clear - only the mother was supposed to be carried, the children were supposed to be left on the platform, the only issue is the father - having boarded the train and presumably headed towards seats - was carried? And he was able to get a taxi the whole 4 miles back to where station...

The 139s may be cramped and rickety, but is there perhaps an argument for them also being an excellent design for their application? Nippy enough for such a short journey, apparently much more efficient than any other option, and IIRC they have step-free wheelchair access.
