You sir have won the internet with that comment today..... we can all go home now :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

At risk of going off topic...... but why would you consider Newton to Heathfied ridiculous? The track is at least in place, there are platforms at both ends and Newton even has a bay if you wanted. There are granted a couple of level crossings to deal with. Bovey and Heathfield are both growing...

Okehampton is already linked with Exeter. I think all that needs to be done is link Tavistock with Plymouth. That’s not a huge cost to solve. I see little point in spending vast sums linking the two. If the viaduct wasn’t required it would probably be much cheaper. But it does.

Who is going to pay the substantial cost to re open the Meldon route just to run a leasure service? A new viaduct would be a huge sum of money, not to mention how you might get the OK to build in a national park!

Meldon viaduct is made of Iron and in poor condition. Its fit for bicycles only.

In short there are 4 options: 1) Use the current sea route and improve. Which seems to be the plan now. 2) Re-open the withered arm from Okehamton to Bere Alston. A favourite with enthusiasts but goes nowhere much not very quickly and would need a very expensive viaduct at Meldon. Does not...

Hi. I must admit I’m not completely across how BT are shifting that data between sites that’s not really my expert area (I could probably enquire) but within the studio environment SMPTE 2110 is rapidly becoming the default standard. It splits the audio and video into separate IP streams and...

Ha that’s a very good spot ! I guess someone hasn’t updated the BT Graphic used on the play out sequence ‍o_O

Thank you. It’s actually been quite interesting if a little hectic. Remote production has been on the cards for some time. As an example. Sending an articulated OB truck full of crew and kit to every football match on a Saturday afternoon is very time consuming, expensive and resource hungry...

My vocation is a broadcast engineer, I work for a company that provides equipment to the industry, think vision mixing desks, cameras, infrastructure etc. My main focus is outside broadcast (so sport) but I’ve spent plenty of time doing news as well. The interesting thing about TV, there is a...

The British public can be fickle and have short memories… Trains will be rammed in no time with tired commuters*, drunk weekend revellers* and people off to watch the match*…..;) * Other reasons for rail travel are available.

I was considering moving in with my partner anyway until this blows over, as previous they’d implied if you were in a relationship (not cohabitating) you could not meet but you could live together. This validates my thinking. The last person I saw was her anyway before the lockdown and visa versa.

Ha..at the moment that could be their only revenue stream, although probably growing weed might be more profitable. :D

Seems the government have U turned on potentially banning all exercise. Although it’s a bit buried in this article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-52183137

Talking of flat batteries. My partner has one in her car but doesn’t have home start cover. She has 2 children and can’t drive at the moment. We don’t live together (I’m about 40 min away). I’m wondering if it’s acceptable for me to go sort out her car? The rules state I can leave the house to...

There is a sea of theories and (facts/not facts) floating around but increasingly on forums and social media the natives are getting restless and are questioning the approach to this virus and their future. Here is a quote (not mine) from another forum which sums up a lot of the chatter I am...

I cycled along a bridalway yesterday which runs parallel to the A11 in Cambs and I was surprised how busy it was!

I have an interesting situation. My daughter lives with her mum and with me. Approx 60/40. Reading the rules directly I can’t see her. However her mum is a key worker so I might have to pick my daughter up and look after her. :?:

Yes but Im pretty sure Boris cant just say stay at home or else. It needs to be passed in law.
