    Please help...notice of prosecution...completely ignorant!

    Both the HCPC and NMC mention that people registering are to be "of good character". A crime of dishonesty may go against that, however I believe that that is required for initial registration; maintaining the registration might be easier, with a sincere "I made a mistake, which I regret and...

    BTP finally make arrests over silly pensioners protest in SY

    Cool, is this now a valid excuse for me to travel around down here for free, since the precedent has been set that every union will support it, and under Equality legislation, there should be no discrimination based on age?

    BTP finally make arrests over silly pensioners protest in SY

    I'm waiting for the post in disputes. "I was at Sheffield, and I thought I could use my pass, but I couldn't. Then some policemen tried to arrest me for it. I'm 64, and never been in trouble with the law before. What do I do? I'm very worried now."

    Class 456's on the move?

    So we'll not be seeing any SWT/Southern 455s working together (for whatever reason that would occur)?

    Smoking Train Driver

    I've phoned a taxi firm and shopped one of their drivers for texting at the wheel. Does that make me a bad person?

    I got a Bite card in the post 2 days ago. Covering letter says 20%

    idiot driver gets light penalty for disobeying crossing lights

    This tends to inspire the ambulance driver to speed up if there's a speed camera ahead. They get flashed, EOC deals with the letter. Car behind gets flashed.

    Nutter attacks female conductor on Cambrian

    I thought that that code would have been fairly common knowledge though. You hear the "Bzzzzt Bzzzzt .............. Buzz Buzz" quite well on the FGW 158s

    idiot driver gets light penalty for disobeying crossing lights

    Wasn't the school bus "caught" by CCTV, not a red light camera? AIUI, the Home Office still hasn't got around to type approving red light cameras for level crossings

    They're going to be too busy reading the paper/sleeping to notice :P

    London calling

    Mmm hmmm. I'd just like to see the look on the commuters' faces as they have to listen to that twice daily.

    London calling

    I would argue that Fenchurch Street is one of four stations that people don't need reminding is in London, along with Liverpool Street, Kings Cross and Marly-that one. Let's take this down a different path, if we are debating putting the "London" prefix on station names? London...

    Does anyone have any SPAD statistics?

    Forget all this political correctness nonsense and just call a SPAD a SPAD... (I'll go get my coat)

    Armed police at Liv Street this evening

    Wow. Just wow. There's a thread I'd like to see in "Disputes & Prosecutions" "I tapped in with my younger brother's Oyster Card instead of mine, so I was travelling on the wrong ticket. I then got mowed down by a policeman with a machine gun. I know I was in the wrong and should have checked...

    Armed police at Liv Street this evening

    I'd go with 16-18; formed an opinion of the world whilst still somewhat sheltered from it

    Armed police at Liv Street this evening

    Point still stands though, that a gun in the hands of an AFO is unlikely to kill someone. Should beat officers carry CS spray (Class V firearm)? All it can do is hurt someone. Should beat officers carry an asp? Its primary purpose is to be a hitting stick.

    Armed police at Liv Street this evening

    Eeurgh, this is where we have the "tools" discussion. There are some tree surgeons worked on the local road. They are walking around brandishing chainsaws. The college near here, in its catering studies restaurant, has teenagers brandishing kitchen knives. The hospital up the road has...

    Class 379 on the GN

    I thought I read somewhere ages back that NR had "made" some 57 thunderbirds to aid in recovering EMUs? Edit: Found something http://www.railexpress.co.uk/news/thunderbirds-fly-again-in-yellow Surely then, it is beyond "debate" and into practice?
