I agree entirely. The women are happy and willing participants. If they have no problem what they're doing then who is anyone else to be offended on their behalf?
I've seen the photo now and I honestly cannot believe that anyone would find that offensive.

Reading between the lines, I don't think the picture would've been removed had Ian not requested it. I don't believe the mods had any objections.
I haven't seen the picture, but I'm quite sure these girls weren't forced to dress the way they did at gunpoint or anything. While of course some women find such outfits degrading, others are ambivalent and some even find them empowering.
As I say, I haven't seen the picture so I can't judge...
I once arrived at a station very early. I bought my return ticket but decided to leave the station to visit the shop across the road and put the return portion in the barrier to leave the station... :oops: It was only upon returning from the shop I realised I'd lost my ticket. Typically, an...
I suggest trying a different USB port first if you haven't yet, although I agree it's probably knackered. You can a half decent mouse for under a tenner these days.
Will comment on the only TOC/area I know enough about to answer.
Agreed.
I'd like to see a SN/LM joint service between Brighton and Birmingham but I have no idea if the paths exist. I'm sure getting 350's cleared to Brighton and 377s to Birmingham wouldn't be too problematic.
I don't...
Signalling equipment on the Brighton side has been vandalised.
Many Southern services cancelled or diverted to Victoria. Thameslink running via Elephant for tube connection to London Bridge.

The crawl between Clapham and Croydon on the slow lines is tortuous though. I had to do it once when an advance ticket from Milton Keynes decided to make me change at Croydon for some reason.
OP has decided to go into Victoria first anyway, which is probably the best idea as you aren't likely...
Apologies, when I say "uniform", I mean there'll be no Selhurst or Brighton allocated units, just one big pool. That was a poor choice of words on my part.
It's still only a rumour anyway.
Some Selhurst units have 3+2 throughout with 2+2 in the ends of carriages only. Rumour has it the entire 4-coach 377 fleet becomes uniform from December :o
No need, just make sure you go from Platform 13 at Clapham and get on a green train and not a blue or white one from Platform 9. You'll need to go over a bridge or through a subway at either station too.
Dayrider Golds around here are £7.70, while the Explorer ticket is £8.20 on Stagecoach buses. Brighton & Hove and Metrobus sell Explorers for £7 :roll: Even if someone in Brighton only wants Stagecoach that day they're better off buying the ticket on a local route first.
If you get the xx:46 Euston-Crewe on London Midland, it's only 38 minutes to MK which is barely any slower than Virgin. The xx:13 to Northampton only takes 41 minutes as well.
