I can confirm 007 does look really nice, all the bits on show at rail level also look brand new When companies restore trains to this standard it makes one wonder why they can't keep them ! Does anyone know what the long term plans for this unit are? We had a ride down from Esplanade to...

Well the ticket office at Liverpool St were unable to produce this fare. Avanti website does but the price is the same as BR Fares

As a theoretical question Does anyone know how to actually buy an Anytime Day Return day return London Terminals to Shanklin via the Hovercraft ? BR Fares shows this as ANYTIME DAY R SDR Route ANY PERM+HOVRTVL Validity ON DATE SHOWN Adult £64.60 However I went to Liverpool...

SWR Live Departures website suggests that she will be back by close of play Sunday Fingers crossed as I am going to visit next Friday

Is this situation any different to the status quo on TFL between Queens Park and Harrow and Wealdstone or Acton town to Ealing Common or Rayners lane to Uxbridge where differences in platform heights between surface stock and tube stock trains make no difference to anyone ?

Does anybody know if it is true that the 38s will still be running in March as the article claims This is the first time I have seen it suggested that they will carry on beyond January 4th and run after the line has been upgraded

There is no need for bus drivers or anyone else except for the Police or TFL enforcement officers to do anything except mind their own business This is the status quo in London so anyone making a fuss about exemption certificates is trying to find a solution to a problem that does not exist

TFL cannot find either an itinerary or a single fare from Northwick Park to Kenton Which is a 4 minute walk If you go from South Kenton to Northwick Park underground then TFL tells you that you can take the tube for 13 minutes, walk in 19 minutes or go via Boris bikes which will take you just...

It depends on whether you think they are there for safety and encouraging people to drive more slowly or for raising money I am sure we have all seen restrictions on the motorway down to 50 mph for no reason whatever. Excuses that the highways agency forgot to turn them off don't wash as they...

My friend in the photo disagrees She is up for a walk whatever the weather is doing and will head for the nearest river /mucky puddle etc Downside House gets filthy Upside we all have very strong immune systems

A little bit OT but where in the world can you have a trolleybus ride where you have doors on both sides and which side you get on /off and where you pay depends on the direction of travel ? Second question why?

I think you have this the wrong way round Pantographed trams don't care if the wire is trolley compatible or not Plenty of the vintage trams in Blackpool still use trolley poles (ie the Boats) so the positive tram wire in Blackpool must be good for either and thuis would work with trolley busses...

These links may be of interest They describe the 98b that came before the 398 http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/1st-august-1975/25/as-independent-as-they-come http://www.countrybus.co.uk/independent/tworoutes.htm

Exactly my point to the Maskevists

These foreign Journey planners can mislead one into taking more than 1 hour to get from Euston to Kings Cross via Willesden and West Hampstead instead of a 9 minute walk or 1 stop on the tube

Funny that considering that around 10% of tube /bus travellers do not wear masks

This may work in Wales but just let the Polis try and do this in London and see how it will go down with sections of the community who think rules don't apply to them.

Perhaps qualify this to say that if the trams have pantographs as this can be done if the catenary is designed for trolley poles

Good for you I can't do what you suggest as my spectacles steam up Do you wear glasses? In my job if anyone tries to make me wear a mask I can't work and they won't be working either Fortunately I have yet to meet anyone who is so stupid.

I am hoping one day people will stop quantifying the deaths as an absolute figure as the hypothetical 13 died with covid and not of covid No one can tell us how many of those would have died anyway regardless of whether they caught covid or not.
