As do the vast majority of the travelling public, who aren't rail enthusiasts and aren't going to automatically know such things.

. No she isn't. Sky is now owned by 21st Century Fox, Murdoch isn't involved.

It's not that simple and as you also need to take into account the time that's available to work on the train. If midlevel corporate managers are paid at, say £30ph (ie c£60k a year) but can work at a table or seat on the train then it benefits the company. An average drive from Manchester to...

It would help your posts immensely, as they appear to contain useful information, if you could use capital letters and punctuation and use paragraphs appropriately. This post is almost unreadable without it.

You have zero evidence for your assertion about closure of the S&C in this post, and your last sentence makes no sense at all if your previous sentence is correct (which I highly doubt). You're trying to put an 80's view of the country and rail system onto a 2010's issue. No historical PM would...

Horrible. It's using historic and dated colours on a modern piece of kit. Why do we keep having to live in nostalgia?

Entirely the opposite, the interview panel should NOT know that his father is a manager in the business. Job offers should be based on merit on interview and any other testing and that's it. Whose child he was is irrelevant to the process. Knowing that the applicant is someone's son would...

If you are attending a party conference of any colour or party then you aren't an 'ordinary person' at all, you're one of the more fervent party acolytes who will follow (mostly) the party line and either a local councillor type or 'amateur politician' who is active in the party at a grassroots...

My bold, for the inspection pit yes and they almost certainly would be prosecuted. For someone getting run over it would depend on whether the driver was being negligent or not. In your supermarket warehouse example, then yes they would likely been prosecuted if they hadn't gone to all...

That's pure speculation and not relevant in this instance.

How many times? The legislation regarding this has not changed for decades, this isn't some new piece of law recently enacted. Maybe if the company had fenced off the site properly the incident would never have occurred. That's why they've been found guilty in a court.

Two things, firstly aircraft tend to cause slightly more casualties if they completely stop working due to engine failure, the imperatives are very different. Secondly, depends on the reasons why the engine stopped, caught fire. Precautionary checks after one, of course. After a second, is it...

Highways aren't run by an operating company are they? They're completely different to railways in this regard. You're comparing apples and oranges.

Or on any form of late night transport in the north-east of England. General conversations are common amongst passengers on the buses.

if you suffer from incontinence a free toilet isn't going to make any difference at all. In the vast majority of toilets in France and Germany that are for the public's use there is an expectation that a tip/donation/fee is payable for their upkeep. They seem to manage without descending into...

They aren't 'free', they're accounted for via the higher ticket price.

It's a technical exercise, why bother with the expense of making it look good to enthusiasts when it's to show the industry that the tech works?

To you maybe, but there an awful lot of 'celebrities', think Katie Price, Lily Allen, any Kardashian (whatever that is!), anyone who goes on Celebrity Big Brother etc who will do all sorts of things that most of us wouldn't even nearly contemplate doing if they have a book to plug, a tour to...

Speaking of reversals I was in Knaresborough on Saturday and saw at least three trains coming from the Leeds direction come to the station, then reverse back across the viaduct so the first car was still on it and then head back towards the station again. Is that just the terminating service...

And of course the public sector have never done this with any building ever, have they? Just another of your ludicrous statements I'm afraid.
