Emergency water and food - like biscuits that will last at least 6 hours. Only for emergency use. Small power bank and charging cables (5000 mah) to charge phone. Emergency use only.

In addition Pendolinos can match or exceed iET acceleration above 60 mph.

What a great idea. An 8 car 350 formation able to run at 110 mph. GWR run 387s to Cardiff alongside IETs after all. The WCML mixes 110 mph units 350/397s with 125 mph pendolinos.

What if the additional capacity came in the form of older 100 mph emu sets such as class 365s or 333s obviously pathed to keep out of the way of 125 mph services as much as possible ?

IThe minimum age to drive on the London Underground has been 18 for a very long time but I’m guessing once the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines get their new trains there will no manual driving except in degraded situations.

In France class Z21700 runs at 200 kph on a short section of LGV in Brittany.

Are all open access operators viewed as just ‘playing trains’ ?

Certain sections of the A1 are single carriageway and therefore a 50 mph limit applies to PCVs. But these are often quite wide and straight - surely there is scope for increasing speed on these to roads to 60 mph? I ran alongside a scheduled National Express service happily doing this speed at...

Also this system only controls adherence to speed limits - it does not monitor or control speed on approach to adverse signals like ATP/ ETCS does. KVB does better than TASS in that way.

After spending miles on the limiter at an indicated 124 mph sometimes 125 mph, driving a coach at the limited 62 mph seems very slow.

I wonder if those Stadler 755s would be ideal for TPE services. 100 mph with quick acceleration on diesel mode similar to further 185s.

I think thankfully the interview process weeds out / has weeded out those with ‘doubts’.

I thought lumo competed with low cost airlines not coaches. The provision of an on board trolley service alone serving hot/cold drinks sets them from road transport where staying seated and belted is the law.

Drop me a message - I can answer these.

If you have luggage is the plane still faster than the train overall from Edinburgh centre to London centre? Also will 185s have to use the slow line to thirsk instead of staying on fasts as they do now ?

As a coach driver on a fraction of a train drivers wage I clean the vehicle in and out including picking up rubbish, sweeping etc. why should train drivers be exempt ?

Buses have seen an increase in journey times since introduction of London-wide 20 mph limits. Now the London Underground is starting to get slowed down. Is national rail next ...

Would already signing the London to Edinburgh route and 80x traction give an advantage as well as clean SOL ?

West highland line has a speed limit of 70 mph approaching Fort William.

Does being a bus or coach driver mean you’re a better driver than most car drivers?
