    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    I do agree, shoddy presentation doesn't fill me with confidence in the product.

    Hannover S5 loco hauled trains

    I understand there are some loco hauled trains on S5 route around Hannover, I've looked but timetable hasn't been updated to show which ones. Would anyone know which trains are hauled as makes planning easier to cover them or if you have a link to a timetable showing the hauled trains I'd...

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    Got to be honest, I really have to think about that one, to the point I often find another way of saying it as never 100% certain.

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    Ok, thanks. Never crossed my mind seeing as thought it was a brand name not a noun! Obviously the Americans know better. 1785960930 Possibly blame Sainsbury's for it as people said 'going to Sainsbury's' then just carried it on with Tesco, Asda etc?

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    Think Tescos and Asia's should be Tesco's and Asda's as that what people say, don't think it's pluralising it, more of a possessive term (someone will tell us who's better at English than me)? Never heard of Legos, though. 1785958844 Surely maths and math are just abbreviations of mathematics...

    Which heritage lines do and don't have steam bans currently?

    Ok, know it gets posted on WNXX but not everyone subscribes so get your point. It's usually on the Railway's website but steam ban continues week by week so can be fluid (took a bit of finding but this hopefully works https://gwsr.com/about/locomotive-roster/) This week is as follows Today 20...

    The Labour Party under Andy Burnham

    Let's hope, about time offered sensible pathways, too much government meddling in the past by all parties with emphasis on academic studies for all, rather than giving appropriate opportunities so all can achieve in one way or another.

    End of loco-hauled Roma-Sicily InterCities?

    Bonus being mostly in the dark so see no scenery! This is the issue, I'd rather travel in the day and see the scenery but not on an uncomfortable cart so my solution will be do neither as don't want to do the overnight either. Probably won't affect many people but if tourisn in Italy does suffer...

    TfW 158s air conditioning problems

    Engine power isn't the issue it's the alternator supplying the electrical side that possibly needs uprating. This will put a larger parasitic load on the engine leaving less available for traction but the amounts we are talking about here are miniscule and doubt it would be noticed or affect...

    End of loco-hauled Roma-Sicily InterCities?

    Italy used to be such a good country for loco haulage and Sicily was notable as one of the last places could get 656 haulage. None of those carts will tempt me back an no way I'll spend 10 or more hours on plastic from Rome to Sicily.

    Overnight train from Istanbul to Bucharest (20:00-16:55)

    Was told by a local when we were already 4 hours late that 5 hour delay was pretty typical.

    Whatever you thought of him he was still an intelligent person. I personally wasn't a fan but I can't call him stupid as he wasn't.

    Overnight train from Istanbul to Bucharest (20:00-16:55)

    Train is often mega late and waits around everywhere. When I did it the was at border for ages and then loco got taken off at one station in Bulgaria and used for something else. Had to wait for another train to collect the coaches for onward trip!
