If you were on it you’d know. GWR’s journey check also shows if there is no first class on a train, such as when an Electrostar subs an IET to Cardiff.

In Scotland, probably very good. One thing Scotland is not short of is cheap electricity from all those hydro-electric power stations.

I think the opposite: look at what happens to any Mafia organisation after the head honchos get neutralised. When Putin goes, it will be messy.

The trouble is, there is a certain logic to doing it. The police are obliged to call off pursuits where they get too dangerous, indeed they had called off this one just before the crash happened. So if you really feel the need to get away from the police (and the people involved here were...

It can't, there isn't room. Look at the legroom on modern London buses. And if you put a buggy on the seats everyone will complain about the wheels soiling the seat. And, in any case, the seats where you'd be able to put a folded buggy usually have people sitting in them and- even more...

Yes, I was being flippant, but on a more serious level, what other types of business are you starting in a town with no money? Where are you getting your capital from? Where are you getting your customers from? Where are you getting your profit from? And where are you getting money from...

Absolutely, there is no justification for the behaviour. But if you don't deal with the reasons behind the behaviour then the behaviour will never change. 1787831126 We've been through this earlier, do keep up. 1787831208 Drug dealing is a business. They're great entrepreneurs. Or is that...

Older buses also had sufficient luggage space in which to store the folded buggies. Where, on a modern London bus, can you actually store a folded buggy?

*sigh* The fact that you regard the basic hallmarks of a civilised society as "carrots" says everything we need to know here. Bingo. If you play by the rules and work really really hard you might, one day, get to be a team leader on the night shift at an Amazon warehouse on the outskirts of...

The trains were never orange, they were Strathclyde Red ;) Never seen or heard it called the Clockwork Orange, but have heard it called the shoogle.

There are the usual Facebook racists but, no, it's really more about the Liverpool drug gangs. County Lines is becoming a real issue here and, understandably, they use the ferry to get here. The first stage last year was that the Steam Packet no longer accept cash for purchasing tickets at the...

Absolutely they are. They're never going to win it again, no chance. But they should be getting to the group stage. But those sorts of big clubs still regularly reach the group stage of the Champions League and they still compete when they get to that stage. Ajax and PSV made it to the group...

A club of Celtic's stature should be qualifying for the Champions League group stage and should at least be competing for the top 24 in the group stage. Now they're in the Europa League they should be getting out of the group stage at the very least.

Nah, it's just UK Border Force doing UK Border Force things. It just sums up the UK Border Force attitude to everything, really: force changes through with the minimum of notice and bugger the consequences for all the innocent people caught up in it. We saw the same thing with the changes to...

No it isn't. You don't know why any mitigation was granted. The article doesn't say (or not in the bit that's not paywalled). You're getting outraged but you only have a part of the story (PS it was drink driving in 2021 but only a speeding offence since then). My experience of the criminal...

I know nothing about that specific case, and the article is paywalled. But if you have a lone parent with mental health problems who is self-medicating with alcohol and you send them to prison then you're also putting their children into care. Is that a good outcome for society? Or is a...

And it often would be, but there will be a reason why it has been mitigated downwards. Which will probably be linked to the reason why she was stopped in the first place.

Not really. It should just coast to a stop- clearly you'd only immobilise the engine and not the power-assisted steering and brakes. No different to how a stinger is designed to cause a gradual deflation rather than blowing the tyres out.

That's what extending the disqualification period does; it isn't a punishment in and of itself. It then becomes an offence to drive whilst disqualified. It's why they also apply periods of disqualification to people who don't actually have, or are even eligible for, a driving licence. The...

That's the point. It can arrive 3 minutes late at Piccadilly and still depart on time. Whether the change will make a blind bit of difference is a different matter.
