    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    I won't 'til tomorrow :( For some strange reason (most like their departure), last night I dreamt about Lances - twice. Bah :roll:

    Football

    It is said that a fair few first-teamers were unavailable. For a club of United's size though, that isn't a fair "excuse".

    Any one been to Asda Minworth, Birmingham?

    The ASDA at Cribbs is massive. I though Longwell Green was big the first time I saw it! - both of these are in the Bristol area for anyone wondering That said, I always used to the think the ASDA in Southend was big, and then I saw the Tesco at Pitsea (the largest Tesco in England until...

    The "Name the Station" game

    More than one change from NSE... ...Cardiff Bay I'm wondering what the other unit that comes through is. Unless it means the Riviera of course... Presumably the 332 is what is meant by "can call". I had assumed it meant 180, because I forgot about the Riviera until I was writing this...

    The "Name the Station" game

    Solihull I assume one of these is the 332 (or is it 333?); what is the other?

    Earlestown is also a triangular junction. [/predictable] Very true - didn't occur to me. I had intended physical size.

    Northern Hub: Picc, Oxford Road, airport

    That's often true for these consultations - they're worth a lot less to thsoe who know a thing or two about the subject and are generally for the clueless Average Joe Public who lives down the street (sorry to those called "Joe" or similar). I remember a consultation I attended four years ago...

    Where am I?

    Buttsy's floor again :lol: (when Dan declares it of course) That is 1,072.93% Derby Road. I so would have had that if I'd been around... You are correct that Nacton is near Ipswich - it is a bit further down the line to Felixstowe, on the edge of Ipswich itself. I've been on the railway...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Are there any recprocal ticketing arrangements on the contracted journeys, allowing X31 passengers to use the 232 (soon 231) in the evening where supported by Wiltshire CC? Obviously this wouldn't be a problem on Sundays, because the X31 doesn't exist.

    Heathrow Closed after Dreamliner Fire

    Probably yes. First one I thought of :| Thinking about speed and distance more than capacity. Not that it really matters - Boeing have got major problems and they need to be sorted soon.
