    The Imperfection of Automated Announcements

    Round our way, they've recently installed Real Time Information things on the bus stops and in the Buses. Or rather, they installed them last summer, and they've finally got round to turning them on. The displays at the Bus stops still just say helpful things like "System Under Test" or "No Real...

    Thomas Cook

    First Isle of Sodor?

    I just noticed this headline in the News: Barbie to buy tank engine Thomas crikey, i thought, so they may have given up on the new Great Western franchise but they're expanding into the Isle of Sodor? Then I looked at it, and saw that it was about a toy manucturer. :oops: :lol:
