Last one of the night.

The excellent Railcar website quotes one buffet car - foot of this linked page https://www.railcar.co.uk/type/class-120/ 1789470062 Ah - the post and link by JKF covers it too. :)

Luke / Francis popped onto my YouTube feed this morning. Nornally I ignore such things - but the sight and sound of the rail vehicle at the start, made me chucke. It is certainly not what I expected. (Link sbows Red Bull's RB8 running on rails, on Madrid's metro railway. Yes, it really does)

No white coats needed! On another thread, I posted my AI-created Cappagh livery class 73; and it looks good!

I missed their Blackpool paths by 2-3 years; as my BEng course was at Preston in 1989. I saw them at the end of their ScR duties; I have a sole (1988) example on 35mm at Glasgow Queen Street. I caught up with a few more, at MC Metals, in 1990. My acquaintences were more with the class 119...

It was the high-intensity headlight clue. ;)

Also known as "answear back". ;) But - to your valid point - I absolutely agree

Oh great spot @BrianW - Edward VIII boxes are rare and the Type A EVIII are the rarer of the two pillar box styles. It looks in good state, too. Many thanks for sharing.

Oh I am looking forward to your progress updates, @Ted633 8-) Connex Southeastern yellow and white?

Believe me, we've had them out twice and I ambushed them at a consultation evening. All i got, was their "public sector puff" and excuses about bankrupt Borough Council.

I merely wanted to stop the barrage of posts about flags. :lol:

It's a former medieval road, adopted pre war by the borough council of the time. The road stub.is for just 12 houses but, centuries ago, connected our village with the next. They send parking-ticket officers and bin lorries here weekly; they confirmed it's council owned, as part of their...

I'll add a couple of points to the excellent + factually correct post by @Tetchytyke End-2019, CAA had set and agreed with NATS, MoD, airlines, the next 4-year period for pricing (charges to airlines for the services provided by NATS and other Air Navigation Service-Providers). CAA had also...

My coffee is now down the front of my jumper :lol: Best analogy of the year!

I often had those very same conversations* with my parents, latterly with my mother; and - as part of trying to wean her off her perceived essential analogue landline, I discovered that she has it solely in case someone rings her! Her ex-TalkTalk tariff (it's now by Utility Warehouse) costs her...

:lol: The GBR 387 unit passed by me, at about 50mph, early July. The sudden changes in form and colours - the red sweeping upward but then suddenly "cut off" - as each coach passed, I really disliked. Its visual jarring to my eyes, is akin to Pilkington liveried Mk1 carriages of 35 years ago...

For those of a certain age... Who remembers these carriage liveries? Now it's a Stagecoach RRB evoSeti and a Pilkington K glass RML.

Dave and Harriet are back! 8-) Another G-enius T-shirt, too. :lol: I might have to dust off some pasties... ;)

I agree - for me, it was a cohesive "family of liveries" and yet each one had a clear remit.

My mother's (PSTN) phone dates from 1995; and my mother-in-law's old BT phone was an even older vintage. Sky won't port my mother's analogue line number to a digital line. They only offer her a new line number. BT's "new customer, installation, upgrade, rental" charges for my mother's home...
