The F1 cockpit is also made of carbon fibre (and a few other materials) and does not shatter. Look at some of the major shunts (Kubica in Canada, Alonso in Melbourne last year spring to mind) where almost all the bodywork has gone, but the cockpit (or survival cell) is still very much intact.

Island Line might have been a contender for slowest when it was a stand alone TOC.

Unless things have changed recently, it's a Newcastle driver and I think the rest of the crew are Edinburgh.

Why did they stop regularly using platform 3? I remember going to Perth every other weekend during the mid to late 90's and very rarely was I ever on platform 7. Platform 4 was most often used, but 3 was also common.The Highland Chieftain used platform 4 both North and Southbound, IIRC.

The Galwegian dialect of Gaelic was once spoken widely across the South West.

I don't understand why you are comparing Perth with Falkirk. Perth is a major interchange point, people are going to be hanging around Perth station for a while waiting for connections. Neither Falkirk station is a major interchange (how many people regularly travel from Croy to Linlithgow?)...

Razor blades, mostly.

Falkirk, St Johnstone, Dundee and Dundee United are either a long walk or a bus/taxi from the station. There used to be a dedicated bus from Falkirk to the stadium, but First canned a couple of years ago.

Yes it does, Lansdowne Road station is still right next door. Croke Park has a railway (and canal!) under the south stand and a railway directly behind the Hill 16 end, but has a station on neither line. The nearest would be Drumcondra, a couple of streets away, but Connolly and the city centre...

Have they ever not been squeaky? :lol:

:lol: Hopefully it's not too long before Leven is again connected to the railway network. It's quite ironic that Forfar's ground is called Station Park.

And Methil (East Fife).

Not UK obviously, but Alexandra road tramway in Dublin is still used by a couple of weekly freight services (I think). https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3511059,-6.2215158,3a,75y,236.36h,78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAj1wUNoufWjie170cvBeOQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

There are a few extra Dumfries-Carlisle services that I can see.

There's a Sunday morning East Coast starting at Edinburgh for Aberdeen.

I would say that Blackpool South is worse.

Dyce is a part of Aberdeen these days.

I guess the Edinburgh people would have been put on the North Berwick train at Carstairs?

Yes, that's what I suspected. There are quite a few King George V docks around, though (Glasgow, Hull, Southampton...).

KGV DLR Station?
