    JUST FOR FUN: If Other Companies Made Trains

    Hahaha! That's funny :) Hornby, the trains would burnout after a mile.

    JUST FOR FUN: If Other Companies Made Trains

    Sports Direct, the driver and staff have to work long hours without much pay even if sick. Primark, rather than 1 £15 train on the line, there'd be 10 £5 fare trains an hour :) ... But the train will often fall off the rail and on to the floor :( . Virgin Media, they would cut out popular...

    Sprinters working in multiple

    Could be, I recall Regional Railway colours as Dr Hoo also says and the train went over a viaduct in the picture.

    Sprinters working in multiple

    I've seen a picture of a very very long Sprinter set, looked like a dozen units. But personally I've only seen 3 together.

    FANTASY: You are in charge of the timetable

    I would add an extra train or carriage to Lincoln from Grimsby in the evenings as they are overcrowded. In fact get rid of Newark Northgate EMT trains and have all through to Nottingham instead.

    Opinions: Liveries that you like?

    I liked Intercity ivery the best (still exists on some stock). On my local Barton Line the train is using a Green Great Western 15e unit recently, that's nice. The new TPE is good, only like Stagecoach with mostly white not blue. I did love the Virgin now LNER colour scheme.

    What do you mean? It wasn't her fault. More companies... If Duracell made trains they would run 3 times further... If Heinz made trains only 99% of cargo would be able to get out of it.

    Could Northern run electric stock from Newcastle-Morpeth?

    Are the current units on the line mostly class 142s or class 156, or something else? (I'm going to Morpeth for first time this weekend).

    Rail Magazine back issues - free to a good home!

    Might I suggest trying to give some to a local charity shop before recycling?

    Any recommendations?

    The Railway Series :) (Aka the original Thomas Books) There are books by "Jane's" that are good for trainspotting.

    Haha, that's true! More... Nokia, the train makes a racket and won't stop. House of Fraser, if you enter the train you are ponced on by staff trying to sell stuff. Tesco, like it's online delivery it would substitute which passengers it delivers. Dulux, the train will be repainted every day...

    What to do with Lunar landing sites?

    The face of the Moon we see is not as big as most would think, a little smaller than North America. An electric train would have no air resistence so would speed up faster than on Earth, weight wouldn't matter either, I'm guessing 5 hours would be possible to cross between the furthest Apollo...

    Apology accepted, I couldn't work up the courage to ask in Boots so just picked up normal box and hoped. Just be grateful with what you have. More companies... Morrisons, they introduce a Wonky train service made with substandard parts. Dominoes Pizza, the train will arrive in a mess. Hasbro...

    Not brave, this site is anonymous. Clearly 50% of men are below average yet the stupid company doesn't make any suitable sizes. It's humilliating when a woman laughs at this issue, not funny at all :( . Another company... Google, it's train takes you to similar sounding stations first.

    What to do with Lunar landing sites?

    Why should the Apollo 11 site be protected? It's just a film studio in Navada (joke :) ). Anyway the Moon is large enough that there's no need to go within 10 miles of them ever again. The UN has an International Space Treaty in operation, all of space including the Moon can only be used for...

    JUST FOR FUN: If Other Companies Made Trains

    EA, you have to pay extra if you want opening doors etc. Ikea, a wobbly train with a few screws missing. Durex, they make the train way too big and it doesn't fit on the rails. Windows, the train needs new installations in the middle of the trip at the worst time. Toblerone, the carriages...
