    Middlesbrough 3 Leeds 4. A chaotic game, but the LUFC rollercoaster continues; Leeds into 2nd place in the league. I'm questioning Farke's tactical approach to this game, and do find him a bit concerning at the moment, which is not how you want to be feel with at least 2 big games left to play.

    Fraud

    To be fair, that level of misunderstanding, is probably consistent with the type of person who thinks they can make several hundred delay repay claims, without recourse…

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    Ironically, that new livery looks a bit Virgin.

    Flights you have been on

    Not quite worth its own thread: In January, I'm travelling long haul with Virgin Atlantic for the first time since 2015 (747 return to Vegas :( ). One way we are current assigned a Dreamliner, the other an A330-900 Neo, both of which are new aircraft types for me, can anyone comment on what...

    LNER and people drinking on board

    You know that’s going to end in a fudge of ‘quieter coaches.’ BTP should actually travel on a few trains, enforce the existing byelaws and a few fines appearing in the news might make people think about their behaviour and get the message out there. Currently, BTP are not taken seriously as a...

    LNER and people drinking on board

    If you had a quiet word with staff at the time, I suspect they would have upgraded you to First Class on the spot if there was room. While it’s frustrating, there’s not much they can do after the event.

    The Ancient Kingdom Railtour (15/06)

    It also did the positioning moves for the 37/4 tour of Scotland the month before, it’s a little prolific this year.

    Tri Rail (Florida) Locomotives

    It is my understanding that this line on the East Coast of Florida runs with a mixture of locomotives. Some are new build Brookville BL36PH locomotives and a minority are older but rebuilt PPLX M-K F40PHM-3C locomotives that look like more traditional old US locomotives. My question is thus; on...

    Flights you have been on

    I did an Aer Lingus A321 to New York from Manchester and it was fine, but I wouldn’t want to go much further on such an aircraft. I guess like most seats, it probably does depend on your size/shape as a person.

    Railway books discussion

    I’ve just read The Railways of Bradford & Leeds by Peter Waller. I say read, but it is heavily based on photographs of the railways of the area, with text commentary. I really enjoyed the book and it’s a nice easy one to just dip in and out of at leisure. The photos are excellent and there are...

    Leeds Station Improvement

    The semi-fasts also aren’t known for their capacity… But, yes, I do usually get a semi-fast to Barnsley then stopper from there to Chapeltown. I suppose between them, there is always a back up option. Going Northwards from Sheffield, I have been left behind by XC and a Northern semi-fast...

    Football

    Yes, I only saw footage of that goal subsequent to my OP, but it is a horrendous series of errors indeed.

    What's your latest acquisition?

    That’s nice, you can’t beat the sound of a Deltic :)

    Interesting, thank you!

    Football

    Wednesday currently beating Blackburn 3-1, they are looking like they may pull off The Great Escape... is this the first time they've been out of the relegation zone all season? 1713706566 Edit: That's a confirmed result now. Huddersfield V Birmingham looks it should be a lively one next weekend...

    Very nice, what are they likely going to be used for?

    Sheffield Supertram & Tram Train news

    It is in the mayors policy manual for Supertram to be extended. Now it's in public ownership, it's probably easier to get things done and harder to blame anyone else if it doesn't happen.
