We already have a transport revolution underway, the upgrading of Britains Railways and look how the electrification is going for that ... This is yet more technological deterministic solutions for problems that don't require it. The only places I can see this being of any use is specialist...

I'm going to nominate Greenwich as my favourite, the walk along the Thames from Greenwich to Woolwich being my most favourite walk of London, lot of industrial remnants, Greenwich Powerstation, Angerstein Wharf, the old Cable Works around the Thames Barrier, Tate and Lyle Works, North Woolwich...

I did say Idubbbz was in my list of suggestions if it makes you feel better. I concur with the Jay Foreman suggestions, I'll definitely give Hubnut a go, he looks very good. Technology Connections, top notch channel. Never heard of Bigclive but I definately think I'll add him to my watch list...

The Clue's in the title folks. Looking for some new channels as well as sharing some of my own. I'm gonna be quite loose in regards to non train, to mean channels, that don't just solely concentrate on trains. Lawrie Mechanical Marvels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcluqeOHYxdRhNPEEou5vBw...

My apologies if this has been said earlier in the thread, I've just skimmed through all 178 posts. Please note I'm describing mostly urban and city to city transport, so this doesn't apply to rural transport. I don't think electric cars will reduce rail travel, as it does nothing to reduce...

A very salient point Bantamzen, my feelings entirely, although I voted Remain, all rational argument from both sides descended into cheap mudslinging. My forecast is that when Johnson has long been out, maybe in a decade or so, the UK will probably come crawling back to the EU, and this entire...

I love how this thread keeps making it's way back round to Corbyn, I suppose that's the three guarantees you get in life, death, taxation, and all political conversations will turn into whinging about Corbyn. (cue predictable 'joke' about high taxation under Corbyn *Yawwwn) Living in the home...

The name just makes me think of this lot:

I'll take the Corbyn led government, for 10 points. Please

Well it appears Bannon and dodgy American alt right money has further got its claws into British Politics, so much for British sovereignty. Going down the conspiratorial route, like Trump, I genuinely think Boris is that buffoonish, however he has some very clever handlers. For those...

No Brexit will not revitalise our train building industry, that had been in decline since Thatcher, the current lot of tory muppets will ensure any lucrative train building contracts are foisted off to US or Chinese firms. We may get a few crumbs with some extra train assembly plants, but the...

I think we've abandoned the BBCs web output ... I use BBC online news as my main news source, I do have my own issues with it, but I find it to be the most reliable, reasonably rhetoric free source out there. It's excellent at giving entry level articles into some very dense topics. The BBCs TV...

I've heard from somewhere, not sure how true it is though, that the costs of prescriptions are higher for the NHS since the prescription charge came into being due to the extra admin it requires.

Thanks for the responses all, was sent the included document below, by someone else off forum. Which states the following:

Which Station has the steepest track gradient on UK heavy rail? And what's the steepest permissible track gradient for station in general. I've heard these are usually minimal, but I haven't been able to find many figures. A source tells me it's 1:260 under Grandfather rights and 1:400 for new...

I absolutely admire the calm, controlled manner at which you two dismantle the OPs argument. I will admit I had a very violent emotional reaction to the premise of this thread, to me the fact we are in a natural warming period HOWEVER that has been accelerated by manmade carbon emissions is as...

If you look up Railuk in the dictionary it says, "See also rivet counters" Threads in the past on pacer rivets come to mind. I've read some Railway modelling magazines from the 50s - 60s (yes I like to stay up to date); a lot of modellers then would build locos from scratch and various letters...

Many employers appreciate brevity, otherwise it looks like you're trying to b******t, errm I mean blag them. So it's not what you write, it's how you lay out your CV.

A good friend of mine who happens to be very good at art, is called A. Painter, her fathers Surname, also Painter works as a Decorator. I kid you not, although I've known her for so long, the joke has long worn thin. Also don't forget the various FW Paine funeral directors scattered around...

Thanks for the responses all, however initially I would have thought the same, I spend a lot of time in London and I've noticed there's a glut of remain posters that have popped up in the past few months and so I was wondering if there was the leave equivalent in the leave voting areas. At the...
