Slugs and snails. Can't really explain why. The just induce a panic and a sudden onset of nausea. As a kid I'd leap 6ft in the air if I came across one unexpectedly, I can't even look at pictures of them. I even find them uncomfortable in animated films such as A Bugs Life. Even typing the...

The McD's breakfast wrap (with no sauce thankyou very much). It's a travesty it was stopped. And the signature range of burgers, particularly the bbq one. I miss there being coffee flavour chocolates in tubs of Roses. As a kid I always picked them out first.

Double track the entire Sheerness branch, shift the track from the old bridge over the Swale into a new tunnel and reinstate the other platform at Sheerness (plus give the whole station a proper good makeover). Once those have been done Sheerness can now have a Javelin service direct to London...

Kingsferry Bridge on the Sheerness branch line gets pretty high when it lets a ship through. ;)

I'm sure I remember as a young kid watching Jaffa Cake liveried units passing through Sittingbourne up to around 1994 before suddenly they disappeared.

For me it's more auditory and smell. NSE slam doors of the 90's. Hearing the London Victoria to Ramsgate/Dover services making a huge noise going across Sittingbourne East Junction as they slowed on approach to the station, or the whine of those old electric motors as the London bound services...

DOO must put a bit of a strain on staff in the event of something major. The driver would have to leave the train and its occupants unattended while he runs back along the track to place detonators behind the train, and then back past the train in the other direction to place detonators on the...

I think must have been those big cushioned seats. Felt like an armchair compared to what we sit on today.

Growing up on the Kent Coast line in the 90's can be fully summed up with this train in this livery. https://flic.kr/p/2kpHd3H And you know what? I found them to the most comfortable train I've ever used to this day.

Also, in aviation... the Airbus A380. Currently being dumped by a fair few airlines before Emirates gets the final ones in the manufacturing backlog.

Thinking about how most of the passengers seemed to get away with much more minor injuries, this may be linked to the reversal of the train back towards it's origin station. When you get on a train, most people will probably sit facing the direction of travel, so when the train was reversed...

The Sheerness branch. Especially between Queenborough and Sheerness.

The ticket barriers at Sittingbourne are seemingly open more than closed from my experience, and if you take into account its the terminus of the Sheerness line which has a few stations with no barriers... a dodgers haven.

Traditional Japanese reads right to left, Northwest Airlines had a big presence in Japan for years (including a Tokyo hub) despite their logo of an arrow pointing Northwest (I.e. to the left)

Probably already mentioned somewhere in the last 18 pages, but Trenitalia is too close to genitalia. I know it's Italian, and where the name stems from etc etc... but still. :lol:
