Well it should be illegal to do so. There is far too much so-called freedom in this country.

Yes you are quite right. I am getting confused as it was the Altstadt that was destroyed in the bombing and that was the part rebuilt by the DDR. I apologise.

8-):twisted: Actually aircon on a metro system is rather a waste of cash given that doors open and close on a average of 2 minutes generally [except on Met fasts] so whatever advantage aircon has in nullified

Hence the need for the refurb. Cheaper than new stock

I'll agree with that. The Neustadt was rebuilt in the style favoured by the DDR government of the time.

Or by a well placed boot when stuck in a sweltering tunnel during disruptions no doubt.

Look. That policeman's reaction was rather restrained IMO. If people object to being filmed by policemen then the policemen have the same right to object to being filmed by someone they know not for reasons unknown. I know people who's reaction to being filmed without prior permission would be...

Can't see anything wrong happening here myself. Did these climate change people have permission to set up this "camp" on a public open space? Maybe the officer was a bit OTT but I think overall they were in the right.

Yes maybe they do. But I'd lay a small bet that there will still be complaint's about the fact that the windows don't open lad. If there is one thing I learnt when working or travelling on trains north of HH is that no matter what the weather somebody and sometimes several somebody's would open...

I think TfL are in for a bit of hassle with the "S" stock myself. The pax north of HH will certainly have something to say about the lack of seats and non opening windows. Look back at the furore that they had with "D" stock having no opening vents. As the folk out in the sticks of Amersham...

Ah, now that's cruel lad. Yes they were "modified" but if you find some images of Dresden pre war you see how lovely it was.

"They love me, They love me not"

You'd be surprised how a refurb can rejuvenate anything old Sir. Take TfL "A" stock. Still going strong after 50 years but obviously getting past it. If you want another analogy some of Berlin's "S Bahn" stock lasted 70 years with several updates.

This only makes me more convinced that the ELL scheme should have connected with the GN at Moorgate. It would have been a boon and relieved the pressure on Thameslink by giving an alternative north south cross London path. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- If they had set up the...

IF you think Dresden is beautiful now you should have seen it before the war. Similarly with Nurnburg and Bremen.

Actually MS themselves do a free AV which has protected me thus far. It is called "Microsoft security essentials" and can be downloaded from the MS website. I know it may not be to everybody's taste but I have found no faults with it to date.

Willesden has never been one of the more salubrious areas of London. Even in the 50's. Lots of low life in those parts.

During the last 100 years the rail industry in this land has had many forms and the wheel has turned full circle [no pun] from individual lines run buy one company [LNWR, GE, LBSC etc] to todays TOC's. What in your opinion was the best set-up during those hundred years. Lines? The Big Four...

Having seen some pictures of this new subsurface stock I quite like the looks of it both exterior and interior. However I think the cab is all wrong. Why, when most drivers are right handed, have they put the TBC on the left? This seems to me to be a no brainer in the same way that the C69...

I always thought that it was called the "Upyabumole bird.
