It’s being reviewed. It’s universally unpopular with staff, of low quality and falls apart quickly. And yes, I work for them and wear the uniform.

The answer is that the UK has no control over the level of security checks carried out in other countries. Each country has their own standards so international transfer passengers have to go through UK security as do UK originating passengers transferring flights in other countries. UK...

Don’t Ryanair refer to Newquay as ‘London West’?

I’d love to have flown on the VC-10 or Handley Page Herald. Although still in service I’ve never been on one of the 146 family. But for the sheer white knuckle ride it’ll have to be the Tupolev Tu-104. The thrill of a high speed landing with a high chance that the most dangerous jetliner in...

I get what you mean. I quite like the Il-62 and have flown on them but it will never match the grace of a VC-10. I’m not a great fan of the Tu-114 but my favourite Soviet aircraft is the Tu-95 bomber which was based on it. 1678111711 My favourite best looking aircraft has to be the VC-10...

I'm no rocket scientist but if hydrogen is lighter than air wouldn't the trains just float away?

Is this a new railway line or an upgrade of existing facilities?

Thanks. No wonder I hadn't heard of the airline!

What airline was this that was a 'scam'?

I’ve alway’s had a fascination for Soviet and Russian aircraft, although I doubt we’ll see another An-225 fly again. It was a one off.

The London, Tilbury and Southend was always known as the 'Misery Line', fortunately not now.

It's an adaptation of the Ukrainian An-140 with a rear cargo door. A few An-140's were licence manufactured in Iran from kits. This isn't really a new aircraft. Only about 35 An-140's have been built with just one or two in commercial service, if that. It's just another Iranian rip off.

Officially, you don’t need any ID to travel on a domestic flight, you can call yourself Mickey Mouse if you want to, doesn‘t make any difference. The reason your photo is taken at security is to ensure at the gate before you board the plane you are the same passenger as the one who checked in...

I’m still none the wiser what the ‘big announcement” was about. I tweeted Caledonian Sleeper but they haven’t replied.

Thanks for that. I never knew it was an electronic voice and I worked in Terminal 5. I've been in several airports around the world and heard the same voice. I thought one woman made her living doing airport announcements. I've even phoned the BAA to ask 'her' to put out passenger...

And the English speaking woman’s voice in that video is the same as in T5.

I got stuck in a lift in Terminal 1 at Heathrow a few years bacK with thirty Japanese schoolgirls! Seriously. We were released after about five minutes.

Lots Lots of reports now that it got destroyed including on the An-225 Facebook group. At least I have a model of it!

I’m not in the rail industry, know little about trains and have only been on one rail journey in the last six years!….but the Sleeper to Fort William is on my bucket list and I want the full works travelling in a Club cabin. My background is in revenue management and pricing for British...

In BA we call it W and J!
