What is the official population of Manchester Airport? If you want to include Ringway, it's probably about 106.

Stop flapping.

Yup, the customer also has the choice of 'Going Via' too.

You'll find that the Virgin Trains ticketing system is run by TheTrainline.com. http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/terms-conditions/ Later states this.. If I do a search for Cardiff Central to Wolverhampton - I get options for Virgin, CrossCountry and London Midland. Protecting their...

You'd do the same if something similar happened to you. The true crux of the matter here is the DfT. If only they can sniff out the most sensible option - As opposed to the one that can bring the most money to the Government, then we'll be sorted. However, not all people will be pleased -...

DB-Schenker's head office in Doncaster, is just off Wisconsin Drive. If you remember your history, EWS was named "Wisconsin Central Transportation Corporation" for a very brief period of time in 1995.

Was that all? 4 extra HST's? So those 4 sets of Mk1's/Mk2's I passed at Wembley weren't considered as strategic enough - so they were left there for use by other operators, if required? A complete failure of foresight.

Credit for going overbudget and taking too long?

First come first serve - Unless there's a reservation.

And I'll just get my Fusion Reactor ready sometime before 2050, like the rest of the industry agree's with...

I had a £19 fare between Euston - Carlisle. Of course, this meant a berth to myself :) It was comfy - Plenty of space to lure someone else in if they were interested in joining the Milepost Club. The only issue I had was that it was pretty warm - Air Con had failed in the entire coach, which...

What's this issue? The man knows how to run a business.

From my point of view, it wouldn't just going back to the halcyon days with the Intercity Swallow livery - There would be brand contradictions in today's times. How much private stock is in the INTERCITY livery? It'd be like Virgin going back to it's red and black days - but with people...

Yes. I did the assessment - However it is known as the 'Driver Competency Assessment' - So I am not competent, but somewhere in limbo between the two. Not that it's useful, I work for NR in Milton Keynes now. Only thing I drive is a fancy office chair :o

Correct. It was part of the assessment process. We all sat the driving competency test (including psychometrics, physics, maths and the interview). I passed, with a few other people too. I wasn't successful, but now I have the driving assessment under my belt. Mentioned it in every trainee...

I had the **** ripped out of my as a kid, and was bullied regularly in school for being a trainspotter. Kids caught wind of my Fotopic account and often left derogatory comments. I never spoke about it once in school, but combination of modern search engines and my unique surname never helped. I...

Manners cost people nothing, yet if they used them, they could buy the world. I often sit in the "Easy Access" seats - Towards vestibules, designed for elderly or with people with a handicap. Should I see anyone needing them more them me, I'd be more than willing to offer it. Same goes if they...

Everything would be a lot simpler if it wasn't for ROSCO's and banks...

"Bristol Temple Meads, This is Bristol Temple Meads". Considering all the running boards I saw and the numerous announcements I heard, I would have never guessed that this was Bristol Temple Meads. Must be fun for someone starting their journey. I.e - "I know I'm at Bristol Temple Meads...

Don't listen to the Daily Mail. Ever. If someone found a cure to cancer, the Daily Mail would say it'd give you cancer...
