Sorry I don't have that years timetable to hand but the year before (winter 2000/2001) shows it on Table 70 as 1634 Mon - Fri via Aston and Saturday at 1635 also via Aston. Both from Stafford. Pls see attached. Sorry the Saturday one is not so good...

A snip at $2.60 (25p) for any journey too and a pain in the proverbial to get off of when extremely busy. Start edging towards the door a couple of stops before yours. A couple have fallen over recently (last one a couple of weeks ago) due to drivers giving them a bit more welly than they...

Well, setting off for the airport in HK in just a bit for a few firsts. Flying from HKG into Manchester via Doha on Qatar Airways, flying a B777 then an A350. Flying Biz class so should be fun, first time through Doha and first time flying into Manchester so an evening of wonderment and...

Not the ones outside UK

Singapore Airlines is one of my favourite airlines, flown them quite a few times over the years, all in economy. Last time I flew them was HKG-SIN-PER and back. Great flights, great crews and Changi Airport has to go down as one of the top 3 in the world. Great place to spend a little time. I'm...

Services to Central have resumed this morning with the existing signalling system in place. The damaged stock removed overnight and any infrastructure repaired.

Yes, on the Admiralty side of the station.

Recovery work, not surprisingly, is going on into Tuesday, no trains again between Admiralty and Central, trains once again using Admiralty sidings to turn back to Tsuen Wan. Going to be another busy day at Admiralty, it was more of a zoo yesterday evening than it normally is. There are...

Happened about 3am or so whilst testing a new signalling system, same or very similar system that apparently caused a collision in Singapore in 2017. The MTR in HK was 'interesting' to travel on today with Admiralty station being more of a zoo than it normally is. Tsuen Wan trains were running...

Sorry but I have to ask, where on earth did you see them here in HK ? as the Trident is all but dead. Just curious. Can't remember the last time I was on a Trident her but they do live on with the non-franchise dept. Wonder if KMB still have some ?????? Customer spec here drives the button...

Over the years I've flown BA, KLM and Air France. I'd rate KLM first, BA second and Air France 5th. I've never flown enough European legacies to declare a 3rd or 4th place but any others have got to be better than Air France.

I've flown a few A380s over the years, on Emirates, British Airways, Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines. As an economy passenger I would rate Emirates first, Singapore, BA then Malaysian in order of preference. MH were OK but not a patch on the others. Couple of years ago I flew HKG -...

Regarding Australia, because of the quarantine regulations I wouldn't be surprised if after coming off the international inbound flight you need to collect your bags and go through the quarantine and customs inspections at the first port of entry as after that you'll be on domestic where the...

As a total aside, I was in Zhuhai, China today and at the bus 'terminus' outside the ferry port there are street-side charging points for the electric buses in the Zhuhai fleet that terminate there, all single deckers and only 30-odd seaters. Probably 10 or so charging points spaced out over a...

Nope, never in a gajillion years. Electric buses here just don't work. Operators don't want them and unless the HK Govt mandates them (never going to happen) then they are at a dead end here. New Zealand has more chance I think.

Applied for my ESTA on Friday as flying to the US on Feb 3 and it was approved in less than 2 hours. The shutdown didn't seem to affect the process too much.

The ADL ones I've seen do, but of course these may not be on every bus. Might be different requirements for different places.

Or just look at the body plate of the E200 (assuming it has one next to the chassis plate) which should have the length stamped on in mm.

So if found not guilty what would you do ?
