Aside from the MOD procurement point your views on F35, Typhoon and Rafale are eccentric to say the least. And on RN vessels even more out of touch.

Yes. £44.70 return. 3hrs 25 vs 2hrs 36 ish on Avanti and connections. Southbound can either go Wolves then Stafford or New Street and Rugby onto the stopper. Same journey time. Northbound via Stafford and Wolves is 3hrs 7 vs 3hrs 26 1739113534 Class 93s?

The small in SMR is becoming a bit of a misnomer, the Rolls design at 470MW and Holtec 300MW and others are gravitating towards a size closer to old coal fired units. The modular part is the key with standardised off site manufacture of components.

Yes there is evidence that rivers can supply it, the decades they supplied all the now closed coal\oil fired stations. The classic 500MW based plants, preceeded by smaller and late larger units too. 01 West Burton Nottinghamshire 2,000 MW 02 Ferrybridge C West Yorkshire...

The water doesn't go once through a cooling tower that is the whole point, the heat is dissipated into the air not the water. For a typical 750MW power station you only need 3,600 cubic metres of water (5%) from the river per hour to replace the water evaporating in the cooling tower compared to...

99.9% of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers are PWR reactors. They use the ocean as their cooling towers. The Primary and Secondary loops are closed.

Yes and that diagram clearly shows seawater being used to condense the steam back into water in the secondary loop like I said.

No. Nuclear submarines use sea water to cool the steam generated by the reactor.

Why are they too warm already?

No it doesn't hill assist is just in the software of the abs system. The handbrake is irrelevant.

It takes a few minutes to fuel an ICE it takes a lot longer for an EV.

This is so unrealistic. There can be battles fought over parking spaces there is no way that a street will happily share a couple of charging points.

Maplin, Foulness, Thames Estuary are all in the wrong place. In the middle of nowhere miles from passengers. The Roskill Commission choice of Cublington\ RAF Wing \Calvert is far superior in terms of transport links both rail and road.

Well in my street there are now less lampposts, they are further apart and moved away from the edge of the kerb after the council replaced the existing lighting with new led luminaries on top of aluminium posts twice the height of the original steel lampposts. This has been repeated throughout...

Two options A) Make do and Mend Expand Heathrow and put up with the environmental effects on London both ongoing long term and short term during construction. B) New Build Bring back Cubington or more likely nearer Claydon\Calvert and tie it in with Cambridge Oxford Arc. New build 4 runway...

It has not. HS2 spending is out of normal government funds. There are no HS2 bonds or HS2 loans.

For as senior role as Whittingham to TUPE over without the express decision of First Group just wouldn't happen. FG were under no obligation to keep him.

How are his reasons selfish?

What other options are the? The cheapo innovative 165 attempt was a complete disaster. Has it actually been put back together yet? And the expensive 168 OEM supplier proper attempt has been deemed as too expensive despite actually working.

I mentioned the misappropriation of the oversite proceeds in my previous post. But the inference from the testimonies of from Mark Thurston, the Perm Sec and Mr Over was that the 11 platform design was already over the budget. The budget being intentionally set low as a stretch target. Based on...
