touché point taken; you can never hurry things like this; far better to do it correctly once rather than going back a few times

Sorry I have missed bits of the thread, I didn't have time to go through over 800 pages! I can agree the L&B can avoid corridor, as I also mentioned the IoWSR that is a good model for catering (though they didn't choose No Mark 1s that much, they...

Hi Mike, both projects are looking so impressive right now. Do you have a timeline for Charwelton's return to Kent?

It's a subject which is not really for here as it hasn't much to do with the L&B except for any arguements of pollution and it calls for long posts too exploring so many complex systems. In truth, when you compare the L&B against the massive...

Hi Mikado, thanks for the update. Ever since I heard about this loco, I have been asking myself that same question: why hasn't it been finished? Trawling Facebook and other social media, there appears to be a fair amount of negativity about it. I...

Well, I guess we will never know for sure how the weather will react over time. The other day I was browsing YouTube and came across one about dinosaurs. According to the guy who was presenting it reckons that we have had these heat spells...

Sadly I don’t recognise that prediction. Climate scientists (including the Met Office) have consistently and for many years predicted climate change in the UK would produce a trend towards (a) warmer wetter winters; and (b) hotter, drier...

Ah, here in Colchester we can still even chuck cash at them and when they change drivers they carry their cash in their bags off to the office. Rarely hear of any drivers being mugged, although they do have screens up still from the Pandemic era....

It could be done, there is probably space to do it, but what the cost of the ramp would be, and also any regulations on that ramp would be, I have no idea, I haven't looked into it yet .

Sadly, it is all part of the anti-mugging and knife attacks on the bus drivers; they no longer accept cash; as you need to either buy a monthly bus pass or use a credit card, and you can't even get away with a forged card, since all transactions...

My local bus company has many of its buses fitted with such ramps, and from what I have seen, the driver operates the process so that the ramp is fully deployed before the door opens, so you can get in or out with no fuss. And the reverse happens...

My notion was ramps that are fixed to the vehicle, akin to that in the back of our toyota for our daughter's wheelchair. The ramp is always there, and we are never looking around for a trained person and the keys to unlock the ramp from the...
