    Nigel Farage

    UKIP are a one policy party: get out of Europe. But the wish to get out of Europe is odd because there's actually a lot of things that Europe has done for us. An example would be European standards. These make product design much simpler and thus making products cheaper and guarantee that if you...

    Heritage Rail Train Driver?

    But if you do that in many operating roles (driver, fireman, signalman, guard), it's likely that the railway won't run and you won't be flavour of the month. OK, it won't affect your job, but you'll lose a lot of trust on the railway and possibly be facing a few questions. The rule book covers...

    The state of the lineside - is it getting better?

    If trees are allowed to grow and then are cut down, that can have a destabilising effect on embankments and cuttings. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    The Derby House Fire Trial

    If you have a small amount of drugs, you'd be charged with possession for personal use; whereas if you had a lot, you'd be charged with possession with intent to supply. The point is that it wasn't murder because of lack of intent to kill, whereas you seem to be suggesting that it was...

    The Derby House Fire Trial

    Did you not read what I posted above about it not being murder because of the lack of any intent to kill the children? From a (high ranking) retired police officer? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    The Derby House Fire Trial

    According to an ex-copper I know, it was manslaughter because murder requires the intent to kill. In this case, the intention was not to kill the children, it was a terrible consequence of the original plan of framing his mistress. However, I was shocked to learn that he only got 15 years - I...

    Over 1/4 of school buses in Cheshire fail routine checks

    I agree with mk Tom: I didn't catch the bus to school, but school trips always seemed to get the worst vehicles possible. It got better towards the end of my time at school, but I do remember there being done pretty crap coaches- including one which turned up at my primary school without any...

    Pacers have a future.

    Apologies, I meant new build/refurbished carriages and DVTs and refurbished locomotives. Perhaps, but you still need the new rolling stock. This option allows the new stock to be available for passenger use sooner and reduces the impact of late running of infrastructure problems. Further...

    Pacers have a future.

    I agree with Yorkshire Bear, here: the solution is to vastly increase the amount of electrification in the UK. Perhaps the solution is to briefly return to loco hauled trains? Build/refurbish a decent number of carriages, diesel locomotives and DVTs and run them until we have electrified, then...

    What is the stubby platform at Sheffield for?

    Between platform 3 and platform 4 at Sheffield, there's a short bit of platform, just long enough to accommodate the front doorway of a unit. Does anyone know why? I have a few possible explanations, but they don't make much sense. Can anyone else shed any light on this? Sent from my HTC...
