Bus stop thing? by Manchester_77, on Flickr So this bus stop in Sharston (Manchester) has this thing in it. (I've circled it in red.) Does anyone know what it is its been puzzling me for weeks??

I was at Euston on Saturday and it shocked me that there were no bins or litter receptacles what so ever. I know its due to the fact that if a bomb was placed in one the exploding bin would create shrapnel but surely if they use a plastic clear bin bag as used at some local stations it'd melt...

So I was on twitter and this got retweeted onto my timeline kfc by Manchester_77, on Flickr Is it actually true..?

Hey I was watching a repeat of the railways on BBC 2 on free view when it 'lost signal'. I checked other channels and it appears that I've lost all BBC channels. Has anyone else got this issue now?

Link What's your opinion on this?

So I was thinking after Great Western Elctrification, what will happen to Night Riviera? Will it get scrapped like the old East Coast sleeper during electrification or will the 57s get swapped somewhere to 90s? Any thoughts?

So I was looking on open train times and on stats it shows TOC and how their trains are. Obviously today there are no trains on all TOC except Heathrow Express where as of 10:12 they've run 40 trains so do Heathrow Express run on Christmas Day or is it a glitch...
