Thats why I said it would be more inconvenient than getting the train.

Whi Which Communist countries have you visited?

Why bother changing what they had already?

Great shout on the Liverpool to Crewe journey. I will often get a Virgin return from Liverpool to Crewe for a trip out of town. Absolute bargain.

True. And better public transport in general. I fear I am staying off topic.

Mad idea. I don't have the slightest clue how this would work or what the thinking is behind it. If anyone can tell me I would be happy to learn.

Another vote here for the West Highland line (Especially when it was 37 hauled). I do have a weird one to add though. If I get a train from Hough Green to Lime Street it covers a lot of my growing up. I can see all three houses I have lived in (Apart from when I was at Uni) and you can see my...

That is possibly doable, however, in the peak the slow lines in between Parkway and Edge Hill get used a fair bit especially heading in to Liverpool rather than out. If the new stock for Northern is used on the services down the CLC and is sufficiently faster and has an increase in capacity they...

I wonder how much someone got paid to come up with all over off white with grey doors as a livery.

Liverpool has drugs, prostitution and people who speak English with a funny accent as well. I think Liverpool has better architecture though.

Can't find anything from Liverpool to Southend or London City. As far as I know the last flights from Liverpool to anywhere near London were Easyjet to Luton and before that British Midland on DC-9's (Can't remember if that was Heathrow or Gatwick). The closest you can fly to London from...

I agree, but I was talking militarily not culturally.

I don't think it is entirely true. As much as I don't like it the US has more carrier battle groups at sea at any one time as the rest of the world put together, not many less Nuclear Missile Submarines than the rest of the world put together, an air force that puts most of the rest of the world...

Darandio responded to someone supporting Trump just the way Trump responds to people he doesn't agree with. I thought it was a good bit of political satire. Entertained me anyway. I personally thought Confused147 was taking the mick anyway.

Liverpool City Council are using a company called Kingdom to fine people littering and leaving dog mess (I have been fined by them myself. Never again, it was a cigarette end). They seemed to start out just getting people for dropping ciggy ends outside stations (Not the cities biggest problem)...

Bit gutted I never got another 37 on the Cumbrian Coast and probably never will. That said they did pretty well. I was just thinking that it was over 25 years ago I used to ride up and down behind 37/4's on the Liverpool to Cardiffs. They are grand old machines.

:D:D:D.

I live by West Allerton which uses the Cheshire Lines route to Manchester. During the peak trains are normally single units and are full and standing. On a Sunday the route goes to 1 tph but is normally 2 units. It does get pretty good loadings during the day on Sunday to be honest but during...

At least until recently you used to be able to get LFC programs in the club shop in town and even (I think) in some news agents. Possibly you still can. They kind of turned it from a program to a match day magazine though which was about A4 size and was a pain to carry around if you weren't just...

Oui, tres bien. C'est a vous. The three main character are walking down the road and one of them says to the others (Roughly speaking) "Have you heard the one about the man falling from a tall building, to reassure himself on the way down as he passes each floor he says "So far so good, so far...
