Why are people seeming to feel sorry for this twerp? If he did have a medical condition that was exacerbated by drink, he was even more of a twerp for drinking. Either way, he was a twerp. End of story.

Serve him right.

i expect it's probably due to Politics, as Manchester likes to think of itself as the capital of the North, so the Westminster government is trying to ingratiate itself as much as possible for when the North becomes "independent" following devolution in a similar fashion to Scotland.

It seems to be becoming the new Stagecoach NW thread.

there's several regular sets; West Coast mostly have maroon Mk 1s, and also a green mk2a set (vac or air braked), DBS mostly seem to use either chocolate & cream (the Torbay Express set) or blood & custard Mk1 s (air braked) , mostly open seconds with the support coach behind the engine (usually...

This would only be an issue if you believed the presposterous estimates of numbers of people who are expected to wish to see the olympic 2012 Sailing Events that the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG), the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), and the idiotic local council...

Actually i prefer the Bus in central London, since that's where the Tube is least fun, on account of being far too crowded and boring, on account of it being Underground. By the time you've gone down escalators hundreds of feet below the ground and walked down miles of corridors, I bet it'd...

They have been known to run 10-car 442s in days of yore (I've travelled on at least two), albeit with one unit NFPU. I expect a Desiro would use rather more power than a 442, though, seeing that each carriage is about as heavy as a Tiger tank.

Wales? I suppose they advertise it as " near London", to attract gullible foreigners- I mean, um ... Maybe they could rename Cardiff Central "London Olympics Parkway", to make a bit more revenue for FGW. :idea:

I notice, in the new South Westerly Trains pocket timetable, there's a little box entitled "Services during the Olympic Games". South West Tains, it says, will run the normal timetable for most of the day during the Games. (Games has a capital letter, as it's the most important thing to happen...

And nothing to do with roads!, The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. Another one of the 25 such sights in the UK is New Lanark, Scotland.

Surely it should be a six-wheeler then? I was expecting BM.

By State hands do you mean 50% owned by the German government?

I think I'd beg to differ. Personally I think white on black (or white on any dark background) is much clearer than the traditional black on white. It's a different story if you're looking at a website that uses white on a dark background, which makes your eyes go funny, but for signs I do think...

On the spot reportage here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUK7xM5dpI4&feature=g-u&context=G2193c53FUAAAAAAAAAA it's made a mess of the cab of the unit, all right.

Ah yes, yet further proof that the railways should be run by the State. :roll:

According to WNXX, This batch of Class 70s might be the last to come through Newport Docks as it has been indicated that the next four, 70017 70018 70019 and 70020 are to come in via Liverpool. so I suppose they're being taken to somewhere to get the ship to Liverpool.

Do they sub-contract that g4S outfit to provide staff, then? Seems a bit fishy to me.

Nice job they make looking after that, with the flower tubs and the little garden.

I thought it was "become a come a come a come a come a come a come a comedian".
