    KWVR NEWS AND UPDATES

    I popped over the KWVR on Saturday gone and had a nice little morning out. Sadly it was a 101 running in the diesel slot not a proper loco but it was still a good day out and I swapped to the steamer as quickly as I could.

    Reform UK discussion

    We also don't need or want fascistesque militia dressed all in black roaming the streets causing bother and alarm. BTW - I doubt the people near me have arrived on little boats.

    Reform UK discussion

    Is it though? I would have agreed with you until recently but now I am not so sure. Local response to the LGBT club down the road burning down was "informative".

    Reform UK discussion

    it is the same as going on about "fighting age men" - it is all about a narrative of invasion. I have asked before: If it is an invasion who is commanding it? If they know who it is why dont they tell us? Surely Nige and his boys will send the SAS to take out this evil mastermind on day one?

    Reform UK discussion

    What would Reform be saying if jus stop oilers dressed all in orange and wearing orange balaclavas had blocked the port of Dover? The hypocrisy is deafening.

    GWR Diversions over East West Rail - Nov 2026

    because I live there? Do they not know who i am ;-) You are quite correct there is no real gain for them and they would end up using the capacity intended for travellers to the west on a 45 minute journey to MK that is already served by 4/5 trains an hour. Would be nice to get a service train...

    East-West Rail (EWR) countdown to entry into service

    They wouldn't need to go to Forders or Bedford for that for any reason I can see

    Football

    bank holiday football: Darlington 2 v Macclesfield 1 We played quite well, led at half time ( again) lost. (Again) Radcliffe 0 V Darlington 1 two poor teams. A penalty each, one saved. A very useful 3 points on the road playing the last 20 minutes with 10 men.

    Sign language on train route information displays (and station departure boards)

    I just don't see what the issue is here other than this is not what was done in 1972.

    Football

    But they wont, or at least not easily. On the 10 season UEFA coefficient thingy Celtic are 51st. It is quite jump to bridge that gap and stay there. (Rangers are 40th in the same table) Football has moved on. Celtic are part of the feeder/player development system for bigger clubs, same as...

    Football

    What ambition should they have? Why spend money when you play in a pub league and can win every season for peanuts? £1bn in this and the next 5 transfer windows wouldn't win the champions league. What would success look like? There is no avenue for progression. it is the result of being a blue...

    Arriva (Beds, Bucks, Herts)

    it is pretty bad in Milton Keynes - the arriva buses are so grotty. Yet when I travel on arriva in Leeds and Wakefield the buses are clean and tidy both internally and externally.

    Ghost drivers - Fatal crash on A66

    I don't know - but I am fairly certain that locking kids up because they come from the wrong side of the tracks and beating the brown stuff out of the wont be the answer! I would also start by funding the police, courts, prison and probation services to a sensible degree. The army are for...
