It seems hard enough to find a RRB driver that knows where they're going, let alone asking them to tell passengers!

My old petrol car took a long time to warm up so cold mornings were a pain. Clearing windows took ages and so I was sat in my driveway able to do nothing but wait. My diesel was even worse, albeit with a heated windscreen and seats. Still took ages for hot air to come through the vents. My EV...

Lots of councils set up contracts to outsource the provision of EV charging, on the street and car parks. Contracts end and new companies come in, leading to situations where chargers are decommissioned or removed. They might also have been very old or unreliable. Perhaps they'll be replaced, or...

I think this claim has died down because there are lots of powerful people and investors wanting to support and fund data centres, which require lots of energy. Talking down the grid for EVs would encourage people to ask if dara centres can be powered effectively, which might then hinder...

I think you'll still be able to get fuel for some time, but you're definitely right that it will become a lot harder. Will supermarkets want to take up valuable real estate for a load of pumps (and the ongoing maintenance of them, the tanks below that need maintenance etc) because cheap fuel...

Cubic are currently doing work on GN gatelines and apparently the contactless data will now be sent to the DfT rather than TfL for backend processing. I only spoke briefly to an engineer and don't know the specifics of how the data is handled when it comes to data for things like The Key and...

There don't have to be too many to hit values of cars that can't go into such towns or cities. Or just make them hard to sell at all. I sold my diesel ahead of the changes in London because I knew the value would crash, and thanks to Covid I got more for the car than it was valued at. I don't...

I used to think the best way to get rid of Reform and populism would be to let Reform win and prove themselves (as they're doing at council level)... but then I have to remind myself of how much damage he could do in a relatively short timeframe - damage that might not be easy to undo...

That's hardly a mainstream car. Assuming we won't hit 100% EV sales, there's going to be plenty of scope for performance cars to continue to be built out of the percentage of cars that aren't EVs.

I got my EV serviced by a third-party because I wasn't going to pay dealership prices for what was a pollen filter change and new brake fluid. That was it, plus cursory glances at everything else and a plug in to the OBD port to check for error codes and if there was a software update (my car...

The anti-EV brigade (some funded by those with vested interests, others just going along with it because they like the sound of their petrol engine going 'vroom vroom') will fade away. The fossil fuel companies won't waste money once the battle is lost, and some will reluctantly acknowledge the...

An incident at Oakleigh Park too.

It was clear to everyone outside Clacton that he would leave the second he got what he wanted. Mind you, I didn't expect him to flee before the result. He's so insecure that I can't imagine the nightmare he'd be as PM. He would be a literal copy of Trump and do untold harm to the country just...

The most crazy thing I heard was that they were giving him briefings as short Fox News style videos. Crazier still is that it could well be true!

So a lot of people apparently like Nigel Farage, but they must have been washing their hair and unable to attend the big festival he put on as the count took place... I think this proves my earlier point that people support Farage because they want someone to get rid of foreigners, but they...

I doubt many people like Farage any more than they like Trump. They support him because he tells them what they want to hear. Forcing boats back, rounding up foreigners and sending them home/anywhere, cutting taxes, and all said with plenty of patriotic rhetoric and use of the union flag to...

To add to the misery last night, there were two track defects found on the Hertford Loop (Hertford North and Cuffley areas) which saw some trains diverted via the mainline and then having to terminate at Stevenage which then took out one of the platforms (no way to get to platform 5). In...

Farage seems to be very good at not turning up to things. Obviously he can make any event in the USA though.

Approximately one hour to go before the result in Clacton and Farage has already decided it's time to go. He won't be around for the declaration (where he strongly believes he's won by a landslide) and that might be the last they see of him in Clacton now his job is done and the residents are of...

I'm not saying it applies to this ship, but I know that Right to Repair is a big thing in the USA as so many companies like to end-of-life products and services by refusing to fix, or making it near impossible to fix, things.. and I remember the US military talking about the issues with things...
