    Revell - regluing pieces

    I completed an A380 yonks ago. 10+ years. One of the tail wings is very floppy. Is it as easy as regluing and hoping that it stays or do I need to remove the whole thing, sand down and begin again?

    ENCTS travel in Bristol - confusion

    I am moving to Bristol to read medicine after teaching for 14 years. I’m having a look on the Bristol.gov site to see if they are giving free travel to ENCTS disabled pass holders as some other cities are, however there are a couple of contrasting statements. but the next statement says… Also...

    How can Britain improve the reliability of its rail infrastructure against heat?

    We’ve seen several incidents across the years of Britain’s rail infrastructure being unable to cope with the extremes of heat that we are now facing; not just the maximum and minimum temperatures but also the variation in these across the year. Realistically, what can be done to ensure the...

    Odd forum layout

    Don’t know I’d anyone else’s layout has changed overnight? I’ve checked different forums but this only seems to be affected in the ‘new posts’ tab.

    Where is this and why is this?

    Saw a video the other day which had a video from either the Hokuriku or Joetsu Shinkansen, somewhere toward Tokyo calling at Takasaki, Ueno and Tokyo. Any ideas where it is? Why is this particular aspect raised so far above the track bed? I know the Joetsu and Hokuriku Shinkansen traverse...

    Heatwave impact on bus services

    We see land talk about lots of impact on the trains but rarely do we ever see anything with buses. Do they largely escape any potential issues with stock and timetabling? I noticed in Leeds, for example, that a fair number of the electric vehicles had been substituted for their fuel counterparts...

    Chemistry - k constant and units

    Final chemistry module of my Access HE: Medicine course. Still struggling to get my head around K constant and units. This is the sort of thing I can just about get my head around. But if anyone is able to explain how to find the K constant OR the units of the rate of reaction, I would be...

    Why do bi-modes not use every last metre of OHLE?

    Watching Don Coffey’s latest video and the 805 changes over to diesel engines at Crewe station but there looked like a fair distance of OHLE out past the EMU depot towards Holyhead. I’ve noticed similar things with TPE using electrification toward Ulleskelf as well. I’m sure there’s a very...

    How did ‘First Group’ begin?

    I know deregulation brought in private companies to manage and run bus services. From what I can understand, in West Yorkshire, Yorkshire Rider was bought out by Badgerline who themselves were amalgamated with Grampian Regional Transport but I’m not entirely certain if this was the genesis of...

    Is Cross Country usually this poor for first class?

    Service was marginally good from Manchester to Bristol Temple Meads on a Friday afternoon service. Managed a couple of hot drinks along the way. However, a busy Saturday evening service - 17:33 from Bristol Temple Meads - in the first class cabin, each of us was served one cup of tea and a...

    First class XC - can I walk up to the cafe bar?

    Managed to get an upgrade from Manchester to Bristol on Seatfrog. However, the trolley has only been once and not come back. Would I be served if I found my way toward the cafe bar Or the trolley?

    Best rolling stock toilets

    Haven’t seen a similar thread here but I have seen a similar thread for station toilets. After using a toilet on a 185, it sparked my curiosity as to which rolling stock has the best toilets. Rather than focussing specifically on space and/or availability of a hand basin, I think it’d be useful...

    Cross Country - Manchester to South + East

    What route do XC trains take out of Birmingham New Street to Longbridge? I’ve tried to follow on GoogleMaps but the only route I can follow includes Pineapple Road station but none of the services on RTT pass through here so I’m not sure where they go. Any ideas?

    How do I add a disabled-person’s railcard to Apple Wallet?

    I don’t seem to be able to add my railcard to my Apple Wallet. The Railcard came through automatically on my Railcard app, rather than me adding it - is this potentially the reason? The last railcard I used (Family and Friends) gave me the option to add it after I had used the download code to...

    I know there are several TPE services running through the night between York and Manchester airport but, thankfully, I have never been around to see how well loaded they are. Any ideas?

    How is the December ‘25 timetable panning out?

    Thought it might be useful to have a separate thread from confirmed changes to how its application into practice is going. I think I recall some discussion that the Leeds-Sheffield fast is delayed whilst Northern see how their other changes are going?
