    What will happen to the VTEC plans for retaining some MK4s?

    The question was what is inferior. The seats, to me, are inferior. I'll not disregard your opinion as total rubbish, that's uncalled for.

    What will happen to the VTEC plans for retaining some MK4s?

    The Scottish Government/Transport Scotland says InterCity is better than what's there now As the seats in the 385s aren't as good as those of the current stock* , I'd go with their expert opinion, and say the 385s are inferior to the IC225. *subjective opinion.

    Prospects of HSTs surviving on "Highland Chieftain" (London/Inverness VTEC)

    Well, BR CrossCountry, Virgin CrossCountry and Arriva XC have done that with the 0630ish from Dundee to Edinburgh and beyond, so, yes, until there's a 5 car HST that will provide similar capacity.

    Prospects of HSTs surviving on "Highland Chieftain" (London/Inverness VTEC)

    Yet the first Cross Country starting at Dundee fulfils the same thing!

    Scotland-London - Highest level for 20 years

    In the same time, legacy carrier BA has swallowed up bmi, removed duplication and reduced the size of aircraft flying. No 757s (sadly), a lot less 767 usage.

    Derailment at Paddington - 2017-08-20

    Where the 456 "crashed" in to the barrier train, and became "partially derailed" at Waterloo, I'd imagine.

    If it's a railway by-law, then is it wrong?

    Trivia: Manually Controlled Level Crossings

    Manually Operated, as opposed to manually controlled I guess would have been better wording, but I think it was fairly obvious what it was referring to :)

    All The Stations - project to video every British Railway Station

    I think there is space for an "All the Stations" featuring purely on the actual journey and what it's like to be a traveller on the network in 2017, and a Vlog of visiting some more obscure places of Britain in 2017.

    Why are Virgin trains so precious about their wifi?

    It's the Virgin Stagecoach way. Just get a decent data allowance, and use ever expanding 4G coverage. I gave up on on-train wi-fi a while ago.

    Rail Rover Maps

    I agree, the best maps are the BR maps, and the ones that contained the detailed information on the reverse. It tells a story when All The Stations (supported by RDG) still uses the pdfs thankfully still available on the web archive. They just needed updated, not redrawn.
