They probably could. Wouldn't be able to do it in this country though.

Arriva Bus do a fun/useful map of where there buses are on their website. I say fun, because of the number of times buses appear to start driving round in circles, or suddenly skip from one location to another (or disappear). This sort of highlights the deficiencies of that system opposed to ETCS.

... which is wrong. That doesn't mean that making the same assumptions about staff is right. Really, we should be acting like adults here. So - yah! boo! sucks! :)

GPS doesn't need a network connection, but phones and devices use network (either 3g/4g or WiFi) to get a more accurate fix. Try switching your tablet onto airplane mode (no WiFi or other network connection), and relocate it to somewhere else (like the pub). You'll need to switch it before...

Innocent until proven guilty, perhaps? It's the standard in the legal world (with certain exceptions). Assumptions and speculations won't get us anywhere, and we aren't likely to find out what the 'phone conversation was about.

If you can find a long road tunnel to drive down, you may find that your car's idea of where it is may start to go a little awry...

Can you get your finger (or any other part of your anatomy) stuck in it?

The TOC says the staff member could have been engaged in essential duties. The person from the TOC responding to the OP wasn't stating it as a fact, just that it is a possible reason for them not to be available to provide assistance. I'm reminded of a time a manager of mine stated "I want...

Not non-profit, but non-dividend limited company - so any profits made would be re-invested rather than paid to shareholders. No idea what status it has now.

Some banks (well, at least one) have staffed branches open on Sundays.

Going by the RSSB 2015/16 report, one of the eight passenger fatalities may not have occurred if it wasn't for that big lump of conductor rail... However, we shouldn't be flippant when it comes to fatalities. What is encouraging - reading the RSSB report - is how FEW non-trespass/suicide...

If I remember correctly, all the major works last Christmas/New Year were handed back on time. That's not news, though.

Why bring the ELL extension into the whole ORR/NR "no more 3rd rail" policy?

Would you care to expand on that? You make it sound like you're "in the know", so I'm sure that the wider audience will be interested in what went wrong.

Suggested substitution for his "Silver Shadow" moniker: http://nonadventures.com/2015/06/20/the-some-of-all-fears/ (basically, boiled down to - don't turn people into anti-hero role models, just refer to them as "some a**hole").

Cost may be a factor. Even if the raw data exists, making it available for consumption will have a certain cost - which is why one of the reasons for refusing a Freedom of Information request is because the cost of carrying out the work required to provide the information would exceed a...

Tricky indeed. I suppose you could say that fixed platform mirrors/monitors remove that issue as once you start moving they're no longer part of the equation. To level the playing field with the fixed mirrors/monitors the in-cab DOO CCTV monitors should cut off once you start moving... Your...

It might - depending on whether you're using the mathematical definition, or the common usage of exponential. By increasing the number of doors, you're increasing the number of places where a person may be trapped. However, if the number of people using the vehicle stays the same, the...

Well, it's obvious that you need to be looking out front when you're moving - the problem I had was that the way the statement was worded (all those many, many months ago) implied that full concentration on what's out front was required while stationary.

I have seen them - and I was appalled at the quality of the picture shown in the monitors.. However that wasn't what I was referring to:
