    My Cube doesn't have coloured stickers. So, in the absence of a screwdriver, I just had to learn to solve it the normal way.

    The International Transport Game

    This early in the morning, there isn't much movement. We decide to to head to the nearby rail station Gladni Kolodvor and catch the 06:55 service by an unknown company to Ljubljana Station, Slovenia. We arrive at 09:15 on Thursday morning. Source: Voyages-SNCF

    Huge fire in Grenfell Tower - West London

    Looking at the prices of the average hotel in Kensington, I can only second this motion. :D

    Van Hits Pedestrians near Finsbury Park Mosque

    :shock::lol: I've seen Daesh referred to as many things, but "atheist" is a new one on me! By definition the group is religious. It is Islamic. Membership is contingent (in part) of following the Islamic faith. The particular flavour of Islam followed (enforced) by its members is of course...

    What cars have people got etc ...

    Oh yes, absolutely. But it's the real world, and people flash their headlights all the time to transfer priority. And there are instances where it is reasonable to do so. Personally, I'd rather gesture with my hands so that I can make eye contact with the individual and get a response but that's...

    What cars have people got etc ...

    That's why I got the 1.6l Diesel Civic. Fantastic car, love driving it, it's great for going up and down the motorway to Scotland and has cracking fuel efficiency. Going for the diesel ain't the best option environmentally, but for the Civic (at least when I got mine) it was by far the best...

    Railcards are going Digital

    Ah, the usual responses coming up in this thread by those threatened by the thought of technology... existing. 1) No-one is forced to use digital railcards. They exist as an option open to some people, who may wish to use them. I would be interested, although I'm sadly on my final railcard for...

    The Transport Game (UK)

    With Terminal 5 being home to BA, we decide not to take to the skies and instead descend into the bowels of the airport. We head down to the Piccadilly Line platforms and join the jet lagged American tourists heading into London on the 05:58 departure. We head right through the city and still on...

    St Andrews link - New Report for StARlink

    St Andrews has that problem, yes. Leven, on the other hand, has the local train. Whilst many of these continue to Glenrothes, only one an hour continues around the loop and the other goes back to Kirkcaldy. You could divert the Glenrothes train to Leven with relatively little fuss I could say...

    St Andrews link - New Report for StARlink

    Not to mention lack of capacity over the Forth Bridge and on the approach to Edinburgh. The group aspire to an hourly service to both Edinburgh and Dundee. Dundee should be easily achieved (provided the rolling stock be provided - the one train required should be achievable). But you'd need a...

    Liberal Democratic Party - Why do they continue

    Jo Swinson has ruled herself out of the running - which is a shame because she'd be my choice if I had a vote. That said, she will become Deputy Leader. BBC news

    Theresa May - should she resign?

    That's because there's not "masses" of people who do this. The media loves to blow this problem out of proportion in order to gather support for welfare cuts. The vast majority of people who receive benefits genuinely need that support, and either are looking for work or are unable to do so...

    Aviation Discussion

    FlyBe don't currently charge for printing a boarding pass at the airport. Quite like flying with them TBH (although I've only been on the Embraers to be fair).

    Theresa May - should she resign?

    Resign, but let the party sort it out first. I know that means we'll end up with an "unelected" PM leading a minority government, and that may be unpalatable. However: 1) I don't want another election just now. The last one was horrible enough. I've only just lost the "tunnel of blue" I had to...

    Huge fire in Grenfell Tower - West London

    Of course. To clarify, I wasn't criticising Mrs May, just a statement of fact. I'll save the criticisms for later.
