It would suggest that Mitsubishi doesn’t see it as profitable to sell cars which meet those requirements. Given that Mitsubishi have less than 1% market share in Europe, i would say it is not a surprise. Why waste money adding more spec to cars that people were not buying anyway

I’ve been an iOS dev for 10 years now. I do both Swift and Obj C, and can kind of bluff my way through Python when required. I’ve shipped apps for large companies where the apps had millions of users, for large companies where the apps were used by the (mostly billionaire) board members, and...

If it was time based, then if you speed you’ll pay less? (Until you get caught etc etc)

Electric cars already measure their energy consumption in miles/kWh in the UK. Comparison of kWh to petrol for cars is tricky because so much of the energy in petrol is not used to propel the vehicle, but a rough rule of thumb I believe is one litre of petrol is around 10kWh of energy. My EV is...

What will become more common I hope/expect, is that overstay charges will come into effect. The idea being that, once your car is fully charged, you have some sort of grace period to collect your vehicle, before fines are imposed. Tesla superchargers already implement this system, with a sliding...

The Porsche Taycan (and maybe whatever the mirror Audi is called) already has this feature. I want to say early Tesla Model S cars had it as an option but I can’t find any record of that. Personally though, I would be happier with a longer cable. I recently used an Ionity charger (at 69p per...

Maybe this is an SPT specific thing, but I have never had an issue with boarding a train and buying a ticket from the Ticket Examiner on board. I know there are big signs saying “Buy before your board” but for people who aren’t comfortable operating a TVM, why can’t buying from the guard on...

We already have bimodes carrying equipment for OHLE use, and diesel generators, going around the network. Weight of batteries on a BEMU is not materially different from the weight of the engines in a DEMU. Each V8 in a class 755 weighs over a tonne, and that’s before the weight of the...

Strictly speaking, it’s the acceleration of the HSTs that produce the time savings. For portions of their typical Scotrail running, they are slower than the other classes as they can’t run at the Sprinter speeds posted on bits of the route

Depending on how you count a “line”, no stations have ever closed on the Cathcart Circle. The Neilston branch line has since been truncated beyond Neilston, but the core circle has not changed

Kyle of Lochalsh has you driving almost onto the platform for pick ups /drops off Picture from https://arailwayrunsthroughit.com/2013/10/11/high-land-hard-rain/

Those buffers you saw are indeed hydraulic. You can see a video of them being tested here Network Rail Scotland on Twitter: " It's buffer stop testing time at Glasgow Central... Here's how we test the hydraulic buffers on P1, 6 and 7 once a year. Full marks all round. ✅✅✅ @DBCargoUK...

Patrick on the Glasgow Subway opened in 1980 and has only ever been served by the current generation of rolling stock, so that’s 41 years of service from a single train type (albeit on a network that is physically closed off from any other!)

The deal TSSA, ASLEF and Unite have accepted is 4.7% over two years, (2.5, followed by 2.2) in comparison(which is what has also been offered to RMT). Surely even if Scotrail accepted this, the other unions would get the hump about this?

Yesterday, Scotrail tweeted they were organising contingency plans in case the strikes went ahead. Today, Scotrail have tweeted: I’m assuming the confirmation will be if no deal is reached by 5pm on Wednesday?

I’ve no idea. I’m not an RMT member, and as far as I can work out, there are no concrete details available publicly on the RMT website

I see both the COO of Scotrail, and a spokesperson for the Scottish Government, are saying that the last remaining issue with the RMT was over rest day working, and an offer over rest day working was made. Both these sources then say the RMT rejected the offer and are now no longer happy with...

On HSTs the entire first class carriage was locked out and used only by Scotrail staff

Will EK station still be given a second platform to allow for parking up units away from Central, or will that be binned too?
