    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    :lol: And I'm sure it would be the best, most beautiful education. That is assuming he hasn't cut funding to schools.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    That one made me chuckle. As the Orange Cockwomble claimed, all it took was a map, a pen and someone with intelligence. This coming from a person, who in regular interviews, has claimed to be a genius, but cannot spell the word 'genius' correctly. :rolleyes:

    Marylebone Fire 28th Aug 26

    Where or how would you suggest that resilience resource to be sited? In regards the larger control centres like York, there was a suggestion that it could be easy for another centre to take over running their area during such a scenario. Imagine someone in Derby or Edinburgh trying to operate...

    Skegness by EMR this Summer, 2 car 158s today, must be cozy

    You're probably correct. Network Rail can't even repair the faulty infrastructure they currently have! An Aurora has seemingly made a test trip to Skeg and back, but there’s no plans to utilise them, as far as I am aware. As previously mentioned, with a commitment to provide air-conditioned...

    Cricket

    Brilliant hundreds from Kathryn Bryce and Georgia Elwiss propelled The Blaze to their highest List A total as they comfortably beat Durham to stay in control at the top of the One-Day Cup table. Bryce's 136 and a career-best unbeaten 134 from Elwiss saw the home side rack up 356-4 as the Durham...

    Cricket

    Fantastic run chase by Nottinghamshire against Yorkshire in the Metro Bank One Day Cup Q/F at York. Chasing a target of 274 things didn't get off to a good start, as Nottinghamshire found themselves 1-3 early on. However, centuries for Kyle Verryene and Jack Haynes saw the majority of the...

    Derailment at Wickford - Friday 14th August 2026

    Ah, but that still doesn't stop the keyboard conspiracy theorists. :rolleyes: The only fact remains is that a train has derailed and the matter is being investigated.

    What made you happy today?

    Back to winning ways for Nottinghamshire Outlaws in the One-Day Cup cricket. A 6 wicket win over Surrey, at the Oval, sees them progress to the quarter finals stage. :D

    mindthegates.uk - An Interesting Site on Level Crossings

    Interesting to see some of the data shown. As an example I tried a number of crossings I am familiar with. The ECML crossings I can understand long closures. As an aside I tried one location I work, with 2tph. However the crossing is effectively a restricted byway, so we rarely open the gates...
