Sounds a bit complicated. Could be an expensive investment... :wink: The OP did mention severe weather conditions. Ice lenses - never heard that term before. Amazing the stuff you can pick up reading the forum.

(no civil engineering experience here, so forgive me if the answer is obvious) If the embankment face is topsoil, wouldn't a freeze/thaw cycle, combined with the slope of the embankment make it more likely that the first few millimetres would be prone to loosening and slippage, leading to a...

Actually, if you're on Metformin you're eligible for exemption from prescription fees.

How long did the flights take to get from Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and Leeds-Bradford to Paris? A quick look says that the flights are around 1hr 30mins to 1hr 50mins direct (with the exception of Leeds-Bradford at 3hrs +). Eurostar from London to Paris is...

To be honest, one of the reasons why both the railways and the NHS are in the state they are can be summed up with a mis-quote from Blackadder:

Hmmm... If the signalling aspects are displayed within the cab, then can you actually pass them? Exceeding Limit of Movement Authority isn't catchy enough, though. :wink:

Missing the point here. If there is a safety lesson to be learned from this incident, then at least its possible that a similar incident can be prevented. That would be fortunate. If there is no safety lesson to be learned, then you've got someone who is dead. Culpability doesn't...

Still nothing "fortunate" about it.

No it should be unfortunately. Remember: someone died here - if there's nothing to learn from this, then someone else could die for the same reasons. Is life so cheap that you can just say "Oh dear, how sad, never mind" and move on?

It's Birmingham, isn't it? That's why so many people have got it in for HS2 - because it goes to Birmingham! Would there have been less complaints if it had been a high-speed, non-stop service to Edinburgh?

It's what I used to hate the most about using your namesake's station's Praed Street exit - all the people gathered around having either a pre-journey or post-journey fag.

At a guess - most of them. I believe (but am willing to be convinced otherwise by evidence to the contrary) that a vehicle licensed as a Hackney Carriage within the London Metropolitan area after a particular date (I'm thinking black cabs here) need to be wheelchair compliant. However, outside...

How interesting... http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p=2280477&postcount=21

No, let's get back to the people who bought a house by the railway in the full knowledge of it being by the railway - having lived near a working railway before - and getting upset because it has been decided to stable 37's nearby instead of DMUs, and that these 37's are spending a long time...

No, that they should let the odd one evade. Dunno who he is, though. :wink:

Never been to Huntington - however, the OP said they were going from Huntington to Peterborough, which departs from Platform 3. Platform 3 can be accessed from Car Park 2, which has a ticket machines but no booking office. However, if they used the main station entrance, then there are three...

The most likely reason being that your point came across as "You are not a driver. Your opinions are worthless and should never have been aired". Of course nobody knows how many buttock-clenching moments a DOO driver has experienced as a result of occurrences at the PTI. How many of those...

Well, you would do if you clicked on 8A's link.

It would be better if the TVMs had a barcode reader - they could scan the photocard, killing two birds with one stone: getting the number right, ensuring that the purchaser has the photocard (without which, the season ticket is invalid).
