    True; but the world is full of things that give people false impressions. Start with many (most?) politicians... Heck, advertising is an entire industry that has a major streak of 'giving people false impressions'. People need to get better at...

  2. MellishR 支持 Jamessquared 在 Fire Risk 内发表的帖子.

    I think we are going away from fire risk, so maybe this is worth its own thread, but I suspect - on heritage railways at least, I can't speak for mainline operators - there is an element of "we do it that way because we always have". In BR days,...

    Or, if your budget runs to something posher, there's what was the Midland Hotel, built by the Midland Railway, now the Burlington Hotel, just across Stephenson Street from the north exit from the station.

    Interesting to note on the Clan Line website, the diary dates have been updated to show the Pullman trips for 2027. After early May there are no trips with the Pullmans listed until end of September currently. I can only assume after the last few...

    Lots... Depends which but of normal you want back. For fire-risk reduction purposes in the short term, a week of steady drizzle would probably be best, as it gets all the dry dead stuff damp, which is the short-term problem. For a longer-term...

    All fair points, but it isn't about the availability of water but the dryness of vegetation. The BBC report says there is no official definition of drought, but there is - the standard, official one is the 15 days one. I agree that the country...

    Sorry to be that person but might be worth creating a new thread for oil burning as the threads deviated a little

    All I had in mind was that, with minimal strife now among the other organisations and therefore little scandal to peddle, that might have caused the focus to shift to the 762 club. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no quarrel with any of them.

    Is it coincidence that we're hearing muttering about the new builds just after peace has broken out between the other L&B organisations?

    Some trips reverse at Southampton to run via Romsey and Laverstock. That is a bit shorter but not much.

    Good one! (I checked, and it seems to be new; I propose to remember it, and use it; hope that's OK.) Noel

    The trouble is that failure to provide accurate and timely information about changes to what is on offer (and the reasons for those changes) disappoints some of the people who turn up for a ride. Whether or not they get stroppy at the time, they...
