Can the trains operate without the PSAs doing anything? (I think they always have to be on board though). Do they always have to do the doors?

The problem with the open door is present on the 15H and the Boris routemasters so I don't think that should be a problem. As for accessibility regulations, steam-hauled trains on heritage railways aren't disabled accessible so I don't think that should be a problem either (it's like a 'heritage...

I knew of these heritage routes; I thought they had/were going to be withdrawn or replaced by Boris routemasters. hat's why I thought a privately run service might be better; be nice to get something near the London Eye,a s it's one of London's major tourist attractions. Perhaps do a route which...

I was thinking that there should be a route for old Routemasters in London (the originals, not the Boris Routemasters which only loosely resemble the originals) - I know they're not disabled accessible, so I think there should be a heritage route. This, like a heritage railway, can be charged at...

Just going off at a tangent (for interest only) - if somebody couldn't climb up a ladder, would it not be possible to make sure the participant gets on and off only at a platform? (Maybe they may miss a little of the experience, but I shouldn't see it being too much of a problem).

What's a promise to pay? (Seems to me to be like a permit to travel).

I'd be guaranteed to be able to do it becuase it is the same train, surely?

I noticed that the trains on the Borderlands Line arrive at Wrexham Central from Bidston at xx32 and leave Wrexham Central for Bidston at xx30. Is this the same train? So if I take the 0927 from Wrexham General arriving at Wrexham Central at 0932, can I take the 0930 from Wrexham Central to...

As an aside, it's been mentioned here before that some early morning or late night trains have 'undocumented' stops on a passenger service, but a passenger could use them if they were in the know. I think there's one at Queen's Park and is the only service to use the fast platforms (?). I think...

Would it be feasible to install a transformer so it can run on 25kV AC OHLE? (This would be similar to trains that can both run on 25kV AC and 750V DC). As said in a programme about the Flying Scotsman steam locomotive, these trains/locomotives are better off actually in operation than a static...

50g (is this the correct answer?)

Take the wolf over Return Take one sheep over Take the wolf back Take the second sheep over Return Take the wolf over (This is an old puzzle; the 'wolf, goat and cabbage' puzzle).

What if a tram has an accident with another road vehicle? Will their insurance pay up if the tram driver was deemed to be at fault (as would another road vehicle)? Would trams be required to have insurance the same as road vehicles under (I think) the Road Traffic Act?

I'm finding in several BVE routes that I have a train in the platform at then end of the route (complete with, in some cases, a signal at danger just before the platform - in some cases after seeing a distant signal off). I've found this with routes from www.celtictrainsim.com. Anyone else...

Does any one have any of the links for these above please(I do know of the Chashinai railway however)?

(After passing driving test, first drove my parents' P reg Rover Metro/100 (?)). 1997 (R) Renault Clio (my first car!) 2004 (04) Renault Clio (different design to the above) (found it to be a bit of a trouble-causer, with a few instances of fault lights and being unable to accelerate...

Is it only me who thinks that the Thames Clipper service in London should be fully integrated into the Travelcard/Oyster scheme, and shown on the map with all the London Rail Services? I think this is a missed opportunity.

I have a Renault Modus 1.5 dci (55 plate, about 60k miles). Has good acceleration, decent fuel economy and only costs £30 tax per year (I've seen other used cars for sale with road tax as much as £210 per year)! I like the higher driving position given by mini-MPVs.

I don't know why they can't do a 'farewell' on the following Saturday, 20th May. I know the bubble cars need a guard who otherwise wouldn't be needed, but for a one-off they could arrange it - perhaps hae the bubble car run all day (as the current peak hours only operation makes it difficult to...

Can I nominate the Cambrian Heritage Railways? If you click on the 'Join the Cambrian lottery' link, they want help to extend the line to Weston Wharf. (Ignore the lottery; I'm just suggesting it as a donation).
