BR were trialling an enhanced AWS back in the 60's. It could show the aspect of a 4 aspect signal in cab. Unfortunately it was seen as too costly.

Yes, SWT managed. I suspect they don't work now though

I think you failed to realise the sarcasm in MontyP's post.

Nitrogen, probably for the jacks.

They already have

And worse, 4 of those 8 car passengers are running a lot later than expected. 1735403823 If they really didn't want the A320s, they would've kept some of the older 737NGs and moved them across to Lauda. However Ryanair have sold many of their older 737-700s onto operators outside of the...

How the hell do you think they would reverse this in such a short time?

That’s fair enough as the train was still technically at Waterloo.

I live sufficiently close to Gatwick to have plenty of experience of planes holding. It’s also worth noting that sound is logarithmic in scale rather than linear. At lower altitudes aircraft noise on the ground is a lot louder than at higher altitudes.

It’s done for noise abatement reasons. 1722944669 The noise at 10,000 ft is considerably less than at 1,000ft and is hardly a distraction. Whereas at very low altitudes on approach it’s loud

Which would be why 200 stores are going to close.

They’ve normally been very reliable. However they’re 20 years old and could do with some maintenance.

Inflation was nothing to do with Sunak and everything to do with the BofE raising interest rates after doing what it had to do to save people’s pensions because of the Truss mini budget. He was awful. Weak and slow at dealing with ministers who went rogue. Braverman should never have been...

I don’t think they’re TPWS fitted. Only AWS and APT.

If it’s on the 444/450 they date from before smartphones were common when phones had a battery life of nearly a week.

The sale of the social housing wasn’t an issue per se. What was the issue was that councils were not allowed to spend the proceeds building more social housing to replace what was sold.
