Not a signal expert but the various standards change and there seem to be regional variations on how things are done. If you read the report (RAIB) on a light loco derailment at Bletchley that is an example of a theatre box which only showed for the junction move. I no a 100MPH line where there...

You continually witter on with your obsession with compulsory resevations. NOT practical or even possible on commuter services. NOT workable on intercity services. If you have ever travelled on GWR when Glastonbury or West of England restrictions are on you might understand. Controlled at...

Absolute claptrap! The majority of work journeys are but a significant number of journeys for the likes of hospital appointments etc. will be at other times.

I accept the waste argument with stuff like lettuce which a hole one will go off before use in a small household. I very rarely but lettuce because of this. Being able to buy loose veg has the avantage that appropriate amount can be buyed for needs so les waste. The problem with pre packed...

Not essential but can be very useful especially when away from access to a desktop or laptop. As said by others they don't need to cost a fortune, if you buy last years model it will be a great deal cheaper than this years one and unless this years one has a new feature you really need do the...

Which Theatre Box can give the most letters? I cannot remember how many can be got at Latchmere Junction but it had lot.

I am amazed that someone such as yourself with such strong opinions, but with no concept that others in different circumstances might have different needs to you could call someone else absolutist?

An X prefix is generally to remind drivers that it is a wrong line move.

My only experience of the far east was China in 2005, I cannot recall mass wearing of masks then. Agreed, hopefully it wont be the norm but if it does make a difference to allowing a relaxation of restrictions for the short term it could well be worth it. On your last point, it has been...

Totally agree. If I were to wear enough layers to keep warm in cold weather and stand in a queue for 20 mins or more I would simply overheat once inside the shop even if I unzipped the coats.

It could be like the Tettanis Jab that needs a booster periodically.

As the easing only started a week ago any real effect will not have yet been seen.

Correct, it refers to a time between lockdown being relaxed and whenever full freedom is restored. How many relaxations, less relaxation and "new normals" there are going to be together with a date for full freedom could make a good few sweepstakes.

#cut to a suitable size to be folded several layers thick if it is going to be of any use.

It is not really suprising that self checkout screens and ATMs are full of bacteria, the data on office keyboards bacteria level is shocking. Problem is the number of people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet, on trains exaberated by the number of toilets where the tap is...

Despite others taking offence to me imploring people not to travel for non essential reasons or make comments that certain non essential use of public transport is not illegal I would consider it exeptionaly bad if someone was denied travel who needed it for essential reasons. Travelling in...

I did not state that yorkie was not correct. If you read the hole post I give reasons why I believe nobody should suggest that people should use public transport for other than essential journeys.

Well I will tell the runner that she is being given wrong advice by her coaches. BTW she has run marathons and 1/2 marathons competively for many years, definately well into 3 figures. The explanation they gave was the one I gave about making the training session more effective with the analogy...

Yet again we have a post stating it is legal to do something which is beyond the guidelines that are continually being set out for our protection. Public transport is running for essential journeys not for leisure journeys. As a transport worker I am being put at greater risk, either getting...

Think about a cold morning when you can see peoples breath. Put a mask on and the distance it will show in the air will decrease. That distance is very similar when its not cold, now think about sat on a busy train bus etc, It could be no mask no travel. RPI & FMI grades?
