    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    Yes they are. The return from Munich was slightly longer but still only around 20 mins or so. All way smoother than I was expecting

    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    Entered for the first time on Sunday evening at Munich Airport. No issues at all. Had photo and fingerprints taken and asked how long I was staying for. Barely any queue and was through in around 7-10 mins

    I've read plenty of utter bobbins on this forum over the years but this is right up there with the worst of them

    World Cup 2026

    Wish they'd get a move on with the trophy presentation. Drumpf must be having his nappy changed just in case

    I heard him say something was crap. I assumed he was on about his managerial career

    Not sure which is worse. The football or the half time "entertainment"

    Or Villa to win tomorrow night then end up 5th as that would mean 6th would qualify for the Champions League

    This empty stock schedule would depart from Birmingham New Street Platform "1SG"

    XC used to put the spare Voyager in 1 through and the 170 in 3 through. 1 through is still in use but 2 and 3 are currently out of use. Although you now have to get a line block to walk on the walking route from platform 5 to 1 through which is, quite frankly, an absolute nonsense. But 1 through...

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    I renewed my ESTA last week due to having a new passport. There is a question asking for any Social Media accounts but it isn't compulsory to answer. This question has been on there for at least the last few years IIRC

    Train driver going back to school...for a careers fair

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    Just for a bit of a real world example. My current cost to insure my 73 plate Renault Megane E-Tech is £398.83. My 64 plate BMW Z4 costs £373.11. Not exactly the doomsday scenario many paint EV insurance to be. Admittedly that's just my experience and someone with a different profile might have...

    No there isn't. You need a Euro 6 diesel or a Euro 4 petrol. There are no exceptions for railway workers
