Some of the stick used on the original “Royal Scotsman” was pretty vintage. Don’t know how long that continued running after launch in the mid 80s.

IIRC, the de minimis amount on individual imports is shortly to be cut so we will be.

Some longer EV single deckers (43001 er seq) have put in an appearance this week.

Glad to hear it

And whether any money is changing hands until the trains are actually fit for service. If it is then someone should be looking for a new job.

I wonder how it compared to the the reactions of a French check to this driver of a German registered (empty) van, wielding a UK passport but answering their questions in their own language. A few double takes that day!

Didn’t Marylebone retain one until remarkably late on(early 90s)?

That surely depends entirely on the nature of the issue. People coming to something new will react differently to it from people who have been used to somethings foibles over 20 years. Doesn’t make either position necessarily “right”.

But what counts as “travel from an airport”? Specific example - arrive into Manchester too late for onward travel (by design) so book hotel in central Manchester (or anywhere for which the local station is not Manchester Airport). Use “inbound day” the following day to travel to final...

Run for the benefit of the spawn of satan!

By the time anything actually got delivered in sufficient quantities to cover teething issues, crew training and absorbing of existing growth, it would be academic…

Just how much demand is there from stations east of Bath to Bristol - Taunton line intermediates?

… where parking is a nightmare and costs a fortune!

The counter argument is that it had to stay open while the old central station was open as that couldn’t be accessed from that direction ;IIRC). Now it makes more sense (for connectivity) to run everything into Centar, assuming that’s what they do. It’s not as if Dunav was the model of a modern...

The Prime example of a geographically diffused country (from a European perspective at least) has to be West Germany where for very understandable reasons the deliberate decision was made to chose an insignificant place (sorry Bonn) as the site for the provisional capital, with the other state...

Given the fact that the market segments best suited to rail and bus are not identical (light rail/tram and bus are of course closer) those two statements both have validity and cannot be taken as gospel!

As a regular user it wouldn’t surprise me if Bath’s figures on some Saturdays exceeded weekdays, despite the commuting. Certainly on the run-up to Christmas.

In terms of destinations, Patchway offers nothing that Filton AW doesn’t. Parkway loses out on inner-Bristol connections but is good for moving larger quantities into Wales. It also has a large car park which may well have capacity at the sort of times many events take place. Presumably the...

Would require the “curve” (actually a straight!) to be signalled / approved for passenger use.

So little difference from GW’s existing 158s in that regard.
