Stuttgart 21 is just a small part of improving the trans-europe Paris - Budapest route. LGV est is another piece of the puzzle, a new high speed line to Ulm is another part. I have a few friends from Stuttgart who cannot understand the opposition to such a multi-beneficial project. Trust me...

Just because an area is affluent does not mean that everyone there is well behaved. People seem to think this of St Albans too I actually find the more affluent places have more problems with drinkers than non-affluent places. When I lived in St Albans it was a nightmare at night, glasses...

Cycling will never properly work in this country because a) There aren't any segregated cycle lanes like say...Holland b) The country isn't flat. The places where bikes work best are places without big gradients - Cambridge, Amsterdam, Duesseldorf You cannot claim to support the bike if you...

I was in a shop recently and the guy on the till said "Have a nice day" to the girl in front of me. He saw the look of disgust on my face and responded accordingly by just giving me the price and saying thanks and goodbye. I then thanked him for genuinely thinking about the customer and not...

exactly --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Why do you work in London then? We are talking about commuters here, mainly from the home counties. There are plenty of jobs in Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Luton, (probably not Bedford), Peterborough, Oxford, Hatfield, Stevenage, Reading If...

I don't see what's funny about it. Surely this is someones attempt to use his influence to improve the situation for the long suffering commuters Why are you laughing at someone that is trying to help?

London is the exception, I have a simple way to circumvent it. Get a job outside! I used to work in London, used Thameslink every day (either from St Albans or Bedford) and it was hell. I now work in Milton Keynes, for one of the top brands in the world, have a lovely company car and...

Playing devils advocate here...... Could she not have held it? Should she not have gone before she got on the train? Would this even be a story with pages of RailForum discussion if the "victim" was not a woman, or disabled or black or a paralympian? If she was not all of the above, I...

I hope so, looks like the front of a Parry People mover.

Articulated stock please. Like comparing the new E320s with E300s Old articulated stock much smoother and safer in an accident.

Yes, it's called Transport Police, stewards etc.

Like it or not, these people continue to exist and we have to accept that they exist and cater for them just in the same way that we cater for everyone. We may not like them but we should respect it, regardless of how you personally feel about it.

I like 65dos, but I hate inter-song brexit/trump bollocks. Had it with Dorje a few months ago, ruins the night for me. I'm at a gig to escape and get lost in the music, I don't want to be reminded of world bull**** because everyone else is reminding me. Music and politics just don't mix

Again, true, but do you apply the same rule to everyone? How about 2 rugby players having a fight at training? 2 footballers? As I see it, Clarkson is paid to do what we all want to do but either can't afford it or are too scared. I simply see Clarkson punching his producer as doing...

Last one I went to was Animals as Leaders, Intervals and Plini at the Craufurd Arms in Wolverton. Brilliant gig, incredible drummers, the hottest ****ing place I have ever been in the middle of summer.

When I used to work next to the West London Line, there appeared to be more freight than passenger trains. Having asked the question on here, some of it was chunnel and some of it different (although I cannae remember) If not the WLL then the NLL, these two have freight running round them all...

Interesting, so it's all down to driver discretion then

sorry if this has been asked before but I can't be arsed to trawl 40 pages of posts. Are there no failsafes on tram systems like on the mainline?

I agree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH2umxtA_sc The only Xmas song I like :-)

And subsequently drop all passengers off at the least connected station in London? Like I say, not that well thought out. If the GC IS to re-open, I advocate a freight route (much like the Betuweroute in Netherlands) with links to EWR (+WCML + Chiltern), DIRFT and all container port lines. Add...
