    Heathrow Closed after Dreamliner Fire

    Nothing against it at all - I quite like it. (Example: On OpenTTD I use them wherever possible.) The term "monstrous" is supposed to be representative of its size and how difficult to handle it is for airport operators.

    Heathrow Closed after Dreamliner Fire

    This is the last thing Boeing need after all the early troubles with the 787. They will be coming under increasing pressure if it is a fault with the aircraft - batteries or not - and from others in the industry who will increasingly look to Airbus and the monstrous A380. And so soon after the...

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

    Advice for you all: See this timetable (the new 231)? If you have printed this timetable, burn it, shred it, or use it as a litter tray covering. It is an embarrassment to First, to Traveline and to the entire industry - it really is that bad. To quote myself on the Coffeeshop: Amongst other...

    Towns with all local or no local bus operators

    Gosport. With the exception of the Portsmouth Ferry, all public transport in the town is exclusively operated by First - and even then, there's not a lot. It gets eight BRT Eclipses an hour, four buses on the 9/9A, and five others on hourly routes - and that's it. Across the Harbour...

    Where am I?

    Unless the picture's been rotated I don't see how it can be - nowhere on the line matches the angle.

    Stupid/amusing rail-related dreams

    Another one from me - and it's somewhat sad, and arguably even tragic. I dreamt about my friend in Leeds - the same friend who featured in what was almost certainly the most "divisive" (non-political) thread I have ever posted on any forum to date - on Monday night, although I don't remember...

    Electrification east of Selby

    There is one at Trowse, just outside Norwich - Britain's only example. Instead of wires, the line is fed by an overhead conductor rail, similar to third rail systems but from above. The linked Wiki article suggests other examples exist all over the Northeast Corridor in the USA, and also in...

    people who commute _out_ of London

    On the subject of cycle restrictions due to heavy contrafows, there are also blanket restrictions heading towards Brighton. I would have thought that it must attract a fair few commuters from the Croydon area (which must get a fair few of its own) as well as around Sussex.

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

    By my reckoning the 1 in Taunton will run a circuit with the 5, 6 and 7, with the 2, 3 and 4 running independently. The 2 and 3 should really interwork though to relieve pressure on the 3 (it gets two minutes' layover at the Parade every 30 minutes), which would require very little work to...

    Best and worse bus liveries

    I always used to think that Barbie looked worse on vehicles that usually had Barbie 2 (back in the days when Barbie 2 was still a common sight). Now, no chance. Barbie 2 reall didn't work on anything, and whatever they were trying with the fade vinyl - if the intention was to make vehicles using...

    Football

    It was also stated that almost all - roughly 90% of goals - came in the Second Half in both matches. This is "intoxication" (etc) territory.

    Stupid/amusing rail-related dreams

    Hey! :lol: But because no-one won (or lost) in my Challenge, it's a bit of a dud. If we genuinely had lost, then yes it probably would have (along the lines of "I dreamt we'd lose")...

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

    Lance fans, get yourselves to Bath NOW (well, not literally - tomorrow maybe). I am told that they will be gone for good at the end of this week, with the Streetlites starting service next week. Also leaving Bath are the recently-debranded B7s 667XX, as long theorised. If the theory holds...
