Section 10.4.2 of the Design and Access Statement linked to by Killingworth states "The bay track alignment has been designed as not to prohibit future through alignment to the north".

Those of you with safety concerns about hydrogen (and time on your hands) might be interested in signing up for this free conference sponsored by the HSE See the agenda for the Thursday here...

My dad had a banana yellow Chevette! One day I leaned on the front wing and my finger went through the banana yellow-painted rust...

My first car in '88 was an old Cavalier MK1 in GL trim and with 80K on the clock. It only did 20mpg, because as it turned out the camshaft was worn. So I got a replacement cylinder head from a scrapper and put that on. Magnifico for a week, then the piston rings went (probably because the top...

Wasn't that a Mirrlees power unit and the loco named "Mirrlees Pioneer" as a result? Or was that different project?

One philosophy is that they are safety cameras, and what you want them to do is slow people down in specific locations. Then, yellow is good.

A disgraceful suggestion. Deal with the patients on the basis of clinical need and prognosis, regardless of Covid.

When i get spam calls I like to ask them for their mobile number and when they'll be home so I can call at at time inconvenient for them. Slightly OT, I used to get a few calls on the landline all from the same person asking for "Bob the gardener". No amount of explaining that it was the wrong...

And incidentally, the reason why cycle helmets and masks are not remotely equivalent is this. Whether I wear a helmet or not will have an utterly trivial effect on anyone else.

The main purpose of any helmet is to distribute forces so that no part of the skull is subject to a pressure sufficient to fracture it. Also the padding allows for a little deceleration space so that peak deceleration of the brain is reduced. It is particularly important to have that force...

I'm not sure about that. Get your abacus out and have a look here (the URL is self explanatory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_accidents_in_the_United_Kingdom Road deaths in the UK are down to about 1800 per annum according to...

True of course. For those with time to spare this is an accessible list of approaches and current progress on treatments from the Pharmaceutical Journal...

Undoubtedly we would like a menu of vaccines, but they will fall into categories beyond our control. The classes of vaccine described by the lancet offer varying protection. I suspect the scenario 3 vaccine may be the easiest and most likely and soonest to be made. The magic bullet of scenario 1...

Indeed RHTTs top and tailed by 66s have been patrolling the stretch outside my window (near Dinsdale on the Darlington- Middlesbrough branch) for days now. At this latitude the trees are beginning to turn brown, and I can see one that is nearly bare, possibly due to some wind lately.

In turn the Lancet addresses that question too here (I've posted this in a related thread also) https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30151-8/fulltext I quote Essentially the scenario 3 virus reduces the severity of symptoms but only the healthy can risk that...

Is this because new build locos need to meet emission standards that are hard to fit inside a UK gauged bodyshell, whereas 66s have "grandfather rights" and don't have to meet those standards?

The Lancet addresses this question here https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31976-0/fulltext. I quote . In short, no one knows.

Firstly, The Lancet is not an organ of Government and isn't preparing us for anything except in the sense of offering evidence on which decisions might be based. Secondly though, (and it is too big to quote) what is said about Scenario 1, 2 and 3 vaccines seems to me to be very important and...

All this just indicates is how the risk of catching COVID is now regarded as being more dangerous than getting out of a burning building as quickly as possible which is clearly ludicrous. With all due respect it reveals nothing of the sort, there is just evidence of a couple of poorly thought...

Can't disagree with you there. Once in Glasgow I walked past the offices of the Scottish Chest, Heart and Stroke Association and thought "They've got their work cut out!"
