    I believe South West Coaches/Beeline have a couple, BV22HCH and BP24GWO.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Tesla's aren't better than the competition now, Hyundai/Kia have been the better option both in range and charge time for a while. Plus they have vastly better build quality.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    I assume The Pope died from blunt head trauma as after JD visited he couldn't stop banging his head against a wall.

    Trivia: shortest path to reverse a train from a terminus platform

    I was thinking about Weymouth and trying to think of where it could do a loop without reversing as I think most turn around options that are the closest would need the train to reverse to get on another line to come back.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Plastic doesn't tend to retain moisture, plus I don't get how Trump can take a shower without all the orange coming off, but then again Ronseal does exactly what it says on the tin!

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Also back to Weymouth, again talking to a driver on my way home from work, they currently seem to be short of buses, you've got the Littlesea uplift and two buses for the Lyme Regis park and ride, and as we passed the depot he was saying only one bus was spare, all the others were in service...

    Also of note is they've put the Condor Liberation up for sale and it recently did it's last service on the CI route. It's replacement is the Condor Voyager, previously used on the CI to St. Malo route.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Going by bustimes if they want to do a direct Streetlite/single decker swap they'd need 19 double deckers, and I would assume that unless they stop doing some services they'll have to have at least a 1:1 swap. More buses with USB charging, especially on the longer coaster routes, would certainly...

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    I think they might have tried but the hostilities made it unsafe in the end.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Continuing with Weymouth, I was talking to one of the drivers the other day and supposedly there is a want to get rid if all the single deckers (so all the Streetlite's) and become an all decker depot. What deckers we would get is unknown, although they'd need to be able to handle the X53/51...

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Our "The Works" has actually got a genuine closing down sale on at the moment, though what is actually happening is they are moving to a different premises (bigger I believe), so if they are able to do that then they should be OK at the moment. One other company that has gone bust recently is...

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Now said messages are going to be printed in Atlantic magazine so there will be no way of hiding the messages and less opportunity for people to claim the messages are fake. This show is at festival portaloo level!

    2 or 3 door vehicles

    Then you have the oddball cars like the Hyundai Veloster that have two doors on one side but only one on the other Caused issues for the original New Mini Clubman as they did not change the main body for LHD/RHD markets so we'd have the issue that the side with the back door would usually be on...

    And naturally there are less sites now available to do SW broadcats to places like Africa now Rampisham has gone. Yes satellite and the Internet are options but they are not as easily accessible in poorer nations.

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    They've gone bust before if I remember correctly and this was a new company set up from the ashes of the old one, this current one seemingly being started in 2009. At the end of the day there are plenty of competitors, Carnaby, Swift, Willerby, Pemberton, Regal, Victory and ABI, to name a few...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    We must also remember that those is the regime that poisoned people on our shores. If that is not enough on top of everything else to Tell Trump and Putin to "do one" then I don't know what it.
