    Reform UK discussion

    You're still doubting the voters intelligence because they didn't vote the way you want them to. You're not going to get the voters to change back by labelling them that way. How many Labour voters changed their vote on election day? Did they become 'low information' voters that day?

    Reform UK discussion

    Instead of doubting the intelligence of Reform, and their voters, perhaps it would be better to ask why the two established parties fared so badly? Until they find out why they did so badly, and convince the electorate that they have changed, Reform will win.

    Reform UK discussion

    In my experience, if the party you like wins, there's no mention of FPTP. If, however it's a party you don't like, then FPTP doesn't work, needs replaced etc.

    Deltics, Doncaster, and the NIR Hunslets.

    The Deltics were maintained at Doncaster. The NIR 'Hunslet' Class 101 was built in Doncaster between March and June of 1970. I don't know the layout of Doncaster works, but would they have been close? Or even, what Deltics were there at those dates? I know it's a bit of a longshot, but...

    who or what got you into railways and what was your first kop/haulage

    Being held up aged 2 by my dad to watch the RPSI 'Portrush Flyer'. My first haulage was a little more pedestrian, an NIR Class 80 from Holywood to Belfast.

    The rise of the "Auditors" - could they affect drone flyers in the long term??.

    Calling them auditors gives them a credence they neither have or deserve.

    Manchester Metrolink planner

    And why don't the 'next tram' boards show the stopping points, not just the terminal?

    Manchester Metrolink planner

    It's probably me, but I find the Manchester Metrolink planner to be user unfriendly. Am I the only one?

    Coventry

    I'm told by a local that the only bit left is this, off Westminster Rd, which formerly ran over the goods area and main line. Only the bit between Westminster Rd and the retail area survives, the rest replaced with a steel structure.

    Coventry to Manchester 13/4/25

    I'm finding it difficult to but tickets for Sunday 13/4 /25 between Coventry and Manchester Piccadilly. The trainline app hasn't got any trains, the National Rail app tells me it can't find a valid fare, that's after crashing several times. I'm aware that there will be a bus substitution...

    Government spending £8 million on portraits of the King for schools, police stations and council offices

    A trap that many Republicans fall through is the mistaken belief that a Presidency would be cheaper. In reality, anything Royal would simply become Presidental. The one difference would be an elected office, but what if the result is similar to the Brexit vote? Endless arguments about validity?

    Government spending £8 million on portraits of the King for schools, police stations and council offices

    Would the same amount of bile be directed at a Presidental picture? Remember the golden rule, they who have the gold make the rules!
