A bit late for this weekend, I know (I meant to post earlier in the week, but forgot), but does anyone know what time HSTs pass over the Forth bridge at the weekends?
Rough times are fine :)

The boss of a speed camera firm has been banned from driving for six months after admitting speeding at more than 100mph on a 70mph road in Suffolk.
Tom Riall, 49, is a chief executive of Serco, which has provided more than 5,000 speed cameras in the UK.
He appeared at Sudbury Magistrates'...
The government, under pressure from the car industry, is considering a tax-payer funded incentive scheme to offer up to £2000 off the price of a new car in return for the scrapping of a car aged nine years or older.
Now this won't work as anyone driving a nine year old car is either doing so...
Listening to the radio on my way home today I heard that there are plans to redevelop Edinburgh Waverley
I didn't pick up everything they said (I was at a rather complicated junction at the time :p) but what I did hear is that the main thing is the replacement of all the glass in the roof, and...

The level crossing is about 1/2 a mile west of Longniddry, on the ECML. And having done a basic calculation, the 225s are travelling at about 110mph, not...

Well, it only took me a month and a bit to actually put some of it together and get it up on youtube :p
Anyways, most of the stuff I filmed in Geneva back in March, with a few photos...

Well, about a month after it actually happened (3rd January), I've finally bothered to get the footage up onto youtube.
And no, this isn't the wrong video, it is a 225 at the start, but that's just because it's the start of the clip and I just left the start in...
I went and got a little £7 tripod on monday, so I thought I'd give it a try last night and tonight.
The camera's a little Samsung point and shoot thing I got for £50, which is a bit buggered (dirt in the lens, cos it gets a fair bit of abuse when im out and about :lol:)
Anyway, the results...
Next month I'm going to be in Geneva for 3 days on a school physics trip to CERN, and we have the sunday to do whatever we want, and I'd like to spend part of the day filming and photting the railways :)
Essentially;
Does anyone have any advice for seeing the railway there?
Where's the best...
This is just out of pure curiosity, having seen a few of these around, but none recently, and because i quite like them in the Lothian colours :p
But does anyone know how many Scania OmniDekkas Lothian Buses have, if any now?
And if so, what are they used on?
Edit: 200th post :lol:
