I wouldn't even say it was funny, it just suits them, due to the basic design and roof profile.
A nickname has to come naturally or have a meaning..... if you have to sit there and think about it, then it'll never catch on.
I think i'll be calling the 68s what I personally have always called...... er, 68s!
As for Doughnuts and Skodas....... i'll call them what ive always called them.... 60s & 90s.
Well being as you like google street view that much how about you go have another look at it, there are quite clearly major road changes going on just past the level crossing, one part of the road is marked as May 2014, the next June 2012, the part near the crossing is marked May 2014 with the...
The highway code is just as old and out dated as the google image, roads are to congested for the highway code to work, if you choose to live your life looking at everything with a black and white attitude then you crack on, I don't give a sh it either way, I live in the real world and will say...
This is the point, nobody knows, because the film didn't start soon enough, like I said, the camara man was saying as soon as the film started 'oh I see the problem' 'heres the problem', how did he know there was a problem, the train is only coming round the corner when he gets to the gate and...
Its not obvious at all, the film didn't start early enough, you don't know nor can you see what the traffic was doing prior to the film starting.
And as for the google image, that is an old image, its changed quite a bit since then!

And the one who passed a red light at Paddington!
And yes im well aware of how a freight train stops, im also well aware of the speed limit in the docks, im well aware the train blew his horn once as he came round the corner and didn't see the bus before that because theres a bloody great big...
Well no its not obvious is it, as the vehicles are already stationary before the film starts, so you don't know what the scenario was.
In fact id really like to know what happened exactly, theres something were not seeing, the person making the video is already filming the buses when the film...
If he 'knew' his exit was NOT clear I doubt he would have gone over the crossing...... your assuming you know what the driver was thinking, quite simply, you don't!
Heres a thought for you, have you ever driven a long vehicle? (im assuming probably not) none of the wheels of the bus are on...
Your quite right, it brings nothing .......and is a complete waste of time. I was going to tell you what I learnt when I done mine, but I quoted your statement then when I was about to start typing I actually had to stop and think what corses I actually bloody done!
.........im sat here now...
The simply point is this......
The railways are private property, you do not trespass..... you certainly don't go trespassing on the railway and stop a train..... for any reason, unless some ones life was in danger (which in this case it wasn't).
If Greenpeace wanted to make a protest they...
I don't f**king believe that '40' people got on the train....... and they arrested '3'......... 37 people got away with it?
Won't be long before they do this again then will it!
Im not saying he shouldn't stop, but once he was stopped and realised he had been stopped by persons not authorised to do so then why not pull away again?
If freight failing is such an issue on the route surely the answer is for NR to say freight on the route must be double headed, if not the FOC either pays a premium track access charge or uses another route?
