66309 came down to London at some point and was heading back from near StPancras today. I was too involved to catch it. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H33418/2024-05-09/detailed#allox_id=0 It has now got back to Peterborough...

I suspect the particular HVAC chosen will have been specified by someone in the UK... To keep us warm. HVAC = Heating Ventilation Air-Conditioning, if I have got it right ?.

Your correct of course. In the end I blame both central government and Local Authorities for sleepwalking us deeper and deeper into car culture. But all this will affect how central government views losing its cash cow of fuel duty. I would suggest that road pricing will appear along with an...

And furthermore where do all these cars park when they reach their destination ?.

I think, like me, there were many who were tempted to vote against the national government in power. I wonder how Sadiq would have fared if it was Labout who were in power nationally. As for ULEZ - I do care and it was not popular with me as it has cost me a lot of money. Actually would have...

Out of interest, and at the risk of going too far off topic, how much road tax do motorists pay in countries with many toll roads.

That sums up what I see as the advantages of sleeper travel but for me it is now too costly. A simpler and cheaper product (less glamorous room) would suffice for me. You are always going to get negatives from those of us who were used to the cheaper predecessor. Time marches on and it is now...

+ I should have guessed !.

Oh no, I see we will have to learn that lesson all over again. And then the conclusion will be do't spend money on any kind of rail improvements. I can see HS2 Phase 1 looking like an expensive white elephant as far as travel from London to the North of the Midlands is concerned.

Probably you were therefore the only one they could trust not to dip into other peoples milk. Takes a certain age before one starts thinking like that.

Better be a two litre engine ?.

I think being cocooned in ones own box is conducive to the same sort of "I can get away with it" mentality that we see on social media. Even email gets people to say things they would not normally say face to face or even in er in writing. The true character comes out.

Oh but it sure is made of gold, trust me..........

What I used to notice with Travelodge was that there was always some minor niggle. Quite often we were having to ask for a pillow, pillow case or some towels. Never had that with Premier Inn.

Well by all accounts the 701s have been around for quite a while :lol:.

Looking back your reply (my bold) was to my post about 196s for @Pep and co - as its usually (but not always) 196s on the Nuneaton - Leamington line. So your 150 request might be unanswered ?. But the Marston Vale line 150s are on PTS (eventually) if you still need to know. There is usually a...

It is there now but I don't know generally how early Part Time Spotter gets updated, I think before 8am maybe. 1714643462 EDIT :- Ah, just got the better answer in before me.

Apologies. Should have gone to SpecSavers shouldn't I !. I was rather busy looking to see what 730s might be out this morning, so brain a little presumptuous.

My bold. Er reckless PAVEMENT users more like. They go quite fast on the pavement past me, I really expect to get hit sooner or later. You can sense the urgency. Food delivery is inevitably going to get regulated but how many people have to be injured (or die) beforehand I wonder. How long did...

Worth looking at Part Time Spotter as all 196s are posted every weekday there every day. PART TIME SPOTTER TEAM Allocations, Articles & Reports ABOUT THE TEAM ARTICLES AND INFO STORED/SCRAP LIST CLASS 777 DIAGRAMS DIAGRAMS UK MAINLINE CERTIFIED LOCOMOTIVES & PRESENT DAY LIVERIES Scroll down a...
