    Platform numbering on SW Main Line

    I didn't even think of going in the car park, the 2011 imagery is captured there as well: https://goo.gl/maps/NJm6k4NimEJ8uTiw6 and most recently.. https://goo.gl/maps/vEvdRPigECCTpjNr5

    DfT Trademarks

    I'm sure there is some legal basis behind it, but I imagine, for example, the South West Trains style, is registered to DfT, Then licensed to the relevant TOC - firstly Stagecoach, then First MTR. By doing that - it may allow the later TOC to use the former's mark without consequence.

    I think that the presence of a third rail nearby acts as a deterrent

    Rail strikes discussion

    Not only that, they think it's 'above the rules' but would come under Bully and Harrasment rules. In which exclusion, whether socially or professionally is considered actions of this.

    Next fastest train from Clapham Junction to Southampton Central is a Southern service?!

    I get what you are saying, and it has been done to death on the previous three pages, but those four journeys you listed before the 1742, involve getting on a train that does not go to Southampton (so not what the display is indicating) - it involves getting on a train that goes somewhere else...

    P&O Ferries - mass redundancies without consultation

    It's one of the main drivers of shipping away from the UK Flag, Carnival Corp (Cunard, PO Cruises etc.) have stated that they would UK Flag all of their ships, but minimum wages would be a massive burden. It sounds horrific from our point of view, but remember the bulk of their crewing from East...

    P&O Ferries - mass redundancies without consultation

    The RMT call is to suspend DP World involvement. Not specifically the ferry operation. 1647599827 Plus they'll be able to pick up the routes vacated, whether they can get the vessels will be a consideration but probably would get sold elsewhere

    P&O Ferries - mass redundancies without consultation

    that won't happen though, too much international trade is done through Southampton and London Gateway, that UKGov would affectively be stifling it's own economy.

    P&O Ferries - mass redundancies without consultation

    They're not UK owned or flagged, they're not the only transport link between mainland Great Britain and Ireland. (Not 100% of all the legalities that have been discussed throughout this thread - but the above reduces the political will)

    P&O Ferries - mass redundancies without consultation

    There would be more 'political' influence, firstly being UK owned and registered. secondly they're considered a lifeline service in some areas

    Townsend Thoresen Info

    It effectively (by recommendation) led to the formation to the MAIB (Marine equivalent of AAIB and RAIB) I'm aware (but forget the name) of a Scottish fishing vessel that capsized and lost all hands. It was recovered, repaired, and renamed - now owned by a company in the South of England. That...
