so a 12 hr overnight charge on 13A will only half charge the battery. So over 130 miles trip from home to daughters, plus some tripping round locally where she lives, so battery 75% discharged. I dont think the 12 hr charge would get me home. Thats on to of the fact they have 5 vehicles* so...

in Settle, I park in Kirkgate, by the fire station.

The roads become nightmares. Lots of horse and carts holding everything up. And the roads are narrowed by them camping on the grass verge and encroaching on the road. Its a pain as far away as Settle.

If we are going for trams, what is the maximum length of route? Manchester - Oldham - Rochdale is quite a run on a tram, and I am sure people travel by tram from Manchester centre to the stops between Oldham and Rochdale. Do people at the extreme ends of a new tram route regard conversion to a...

In the real world you have to run services that meet the demand. If you struggle to fill a 2 car 150 every hour, I doubt you will fill a 2 car every 15 minutes, even if there is pent up demand. Which is why Garsdale gets 8 trains a day each way, and Keighley gets 4 an hour.

how much should you bung them? how do you start to calculate that?

you can charge off a 13a socket but its quite slow. and you should pay the host. have cash ready. leave it behind in your room if you think there would be a 'oh you musn't' discussion.

if your current car still goes its probably cheaper to keep it going. modern cars can happily do over 200,000 miles. Your emissions will be lower because there is not the environmental cost of making a new car.

A shorted battery will catch fire. The fire will be very hot and not extinguishable with normal fire service kit. so they just let it burn out. Plenty of stuff on you tube if you do a search. Here is one -

there are IB signals round Horton.

if TfGM need HS2 Crewe manchester building, they can pay for it. fed up with local politicians with their hand out to central government and the taxpayer.

I think you could call Marc brunels Thames tunnels 'bored' as are much of the Yerkes* tubes. All long before TBM's, which are post WW2 technology *Yerkes was a private developer who built the Piccadilly, Northern and Bakerloo lines in the early 20th century.

do what council tax do. take 1/10th monthly so always a bit up front. then a 2 month holiday at the end. First instalment by credit/debit card. If DD bounces then you probably have the cancellation fee in the bank. But better still, subcontract the loan part to a 3rd party. railway gets the...

learned summat today! dont get over there much.

Theer is the A168 which runs parralel to the M1 btween Wetherby and Scotch corner. Not dual carriageway so 60 national speed limit applies. Can satnav tell if a car is on A168 or M1? Reliably?
