Is that one of ones that goes out to the car parks?

Well because the six main wheels were driven like a GWR pannier but it had an extra set of undriven supporting wheels between two of the driven ones. The continental system would work but can't see how Whyte could do it.

Albeit articulated aren't some Talgo units essentially four wheelers?- how fast has one of them gone?

Happens all the time in Kidbrooke tunnel on the up where you get held at the London end tunnel mouth to allow an up Gillingham semi fast to go into Blackheath.

Does it open in or out?

Presumably in the event of a fire in the buffet staff area?

The toilets would have been available. Some twerp kept the outside lock on.

Good guesses but wrong. It involves music.

I think this other Belgian steam oddity (and boy there were plenty of them) was that 0-6-0 Pannier which had an extra set of supporting wheels put between a pair of the driving wheels. It was something to do with a weight limit on the route it was used on.

Ok what connects Starlight and Lincolnshire.

Absolutely. You are on someone elses property so learn some basic social skills towards those entrusted with its safe operation.

It is absolutely their business. They are as much the eyes and ears of the railway as anyone else and as part of their training they are told to report suspicious activity.

If I remember they rather rudely ommit New Zealand! Plenty in Europe, Crete, Corsica/Sardinia , Malta etc and loads in Asia- Taiwan for example.

Ahh this must be this contraption- basically a pair of Crosti monsters back to back. http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/francocrosti/francocrosti.htm#b

It was the Queens golden jubilee that year and there was a big flypast that June. I wonder if this was part of those celebrations and it was so loud because it was a VC10 tanker?

I think the MK2 DVT's like used on the NR monitoring train still look good. Such a shame the SR didn't build EMU's based on them.

Still common in other parts of the world.

My mother used to always ask for a half for me on the bus or at the station - never a child ticket

In the case of Grove Park - Bromley North a toilet will need to be orovided I think the cop out to be DDA compliant is to have announcements and CIS displays on platforms telling which part of the train has a disabled toilet (or not)

Does anyone know if the 466's will have the DDA compliant toilet mod done? -can only think of two routes they are used on as a lone unit and they would ideally have a 465 on if possible.
