They didn’t have to pay anything out, they just hung around a Crewe for a hour and got on the next train home. The train they wanted was still in the platform, they went over to it but the doors had already been shut for departure, from what I can tell they spoke to the dispatcher and maybe the...

I’ll drop a message over to Avanti then and see what they say, nothing to lose I guess thanks both

Oh that’s pants if that’s true! To be honest for what they paid I suspect it would have been cheaper to book it all themselves and they would have definitely got delay repay then but my folks are very odd at times.. won’t do anything unless it’s their idea etc Thanks for the quick reply though

Hopefully some of the brilliant minds on here will know the answer… My folks have been on a “rail” holiday, booked via a travel agent, trains from their home town to fort William, couple if excursions again on the normal rail network and then back home again via normal public trains. One of...

That’s brill thanks! Will order one of them as nice to know it’s been used and works well

Luckly I’m not after colours just a unique torch for use when camping etc. I will be taking my paraffin signal lamp with me too as a table lamp again just because I can

Thanks folks, the ebay kit posted above is back in stock so I’m ordering one while I can! Bulbs I will keep the polarity in mind, doesn’t surprise me if it’s wired up differently to stop parts being reused on other things

I apologise if this is the wrong area, I wasn’t sure where to post it… however here goes, I have a bardic lamp which I would like to use however I need a battery for it. I had seen some one selling D cell conversion kits for them on eBay but they don’t ever seem to be in stock and emailing the...

Latest thing in the paper says shut for 2 weeks at least, shame as I planned to visit with the kids.

To be honest we have cut down on some of our trips to Nottingham and Leicester and even Matlock as the trains not worth it, last time I checked big gaps, who knows if you will get a seat if it does run…shame as I used to love going everywhere on the train

Big jigs and Brio is like Coke and Pepsi, same thing but different companies

now did they mean to give him a winky in that photo? Or did no one with childish humour look at it before it was signed off :lol::lol:

This is right. I used to work in a vehicle crash lab and I am still heavily involved in vehicle approval 14 years later inc crash. For seat belts you can just fit them, the ancharges are tested (for a car 1.3T on each part.. so chest 1.3 ton and lap 1.3 ton.. plus if any of the anchorages are...

I would guess enamel would be appropriate 1642455387 Looking on eBay etc the ones which are the same on there and for sale all match mine with a base that’s polished?

I didn’t pay that much for mine, looks like I will be painting it black to keep it original, thanks for the info very interesting

Thanks for that, far more detailed than I could have ever given (I was basing some of my reply on our pay - we are AO grade up to 7 for the main staff but the engineers like me are on special rates as our HEO and SEO bands are higher paid than other areas of government) clear to see why you guys...

A couple of years ago I got a BR (M) paraffin lamp which I planned to use as a table lamp in the summer in the evening. However should it be polished? Or painted? It looks pretty much like this but the top dome is black. I was going to shine up the bottom with brasso but not sure if it should...

It will also come down to the grade of the staff…how many admin (AO and EO wages (late teens to mid-late£20s) how many investigators (I think they were grade 7 when I looked at applying so mid £50s) plus the CEO etc… so the more higher paid investigators the higher the wage bill… plus OT costs...

My original issue was we went to Nottingham for a gig which finished around 22:30, however our options back after 21:30 were very little with a good 2 hour or so wait between 21:30 and the 23:30 train (there’s not much leaving around the 22:30 mark). this meant the train was a no go for us and...

Why is EMR still useless? I was looking to leave Nottingham this eve after 10:30 and there’s nothing till 23:30, this was looking at going to Long Eaton, East Midlands Parkway or Loughborough to avoid having to drive into the middle of Notts and park but seems I have no option (Trams not much...
