    Thanks, I once went to a Kiribati-Indian wedding which was excellent, what a mix of food! What is the current highest FIFA ranked football team from the Oceania confederation, that isnt New Zealand?

    Former Spey Viaduct (ex-Great North of Scotland) collapse

    I was part of a conversation involving a tame compitational fluid dynamics expert and a scour expert and they were of the conclusion that its very much a damned either way situation. The Spey is such a complex river environment that you would need extensive expensive surveys to even get a...

    Chris Rea R.I.P

    "Apparently" the original owner of my Fender P Bass was Chris Rea's Bassist around the late 1980s. I obviously am sceptical and have only seen one video from top of the pops of a performance of "Road to Hell" in which the bassist is playing an identical instrument to the one i own. In...

    How do you solve a problem like Bradford?

    If we could have our time again, and build interchange 90 degrees to where it is now as a 4 platform (2 island station) , throw in some big approach viaducts and do some mild demolition along the way then it would have been perfect, obviously doing that now isnt going to happen, but its amazing...

    Former Spey Viaduct (ex-Great North of Scotland) collapse

    Not sure really what could have realistically been done, even with a high frequency maintenance regime (note i have no idea or speculation on what regime this bridge has/had) but rivers, particularly braided rivers are notoriously difficult. They are fast flowing and are generally in gravels and...

    Former Spey Viaduct (ex-Great North of Scotland) collapse

    I have attached the google earth historical photos over the last 20 years and you can see just how much the river system changes. There arent too many braided river systems in the UK, especially of this size and they are extremely mobile systems. The pier has clearly suffered from rapid scour in...

    Should there be more stations on HS2?

    The japanese stopping shinkansen is absolutely painful to travel on, with some crazy dwell times as you wait for sometimes 3 or 4 fast services to come through. At which point there is no benefit to being on hs2 stopping services.

    Tavistock - Bere Alston Feasibility Study in jeopardy. But what could be done if the money was available?

    Nope, no realism. I think its a banning offence. Though i think its fair to say that if a group are unwilling to fund a feasibility study, then they must have a pretty strong inkling of what the outcome of said feasibility study would be.

    Guess the Station...

    Hmm, interesting. The brickwork seems to suggest down near London with that yellow colour, its fairly rural and there is a norman style church which looks like it is potentially clad in flint in the background, which suggests we are in the land of chalk somewhere...
