Spot on! Nothing worse than a forced meme.

My 'disgust' is definitely about the smell of vaping in general. All the fruity bubblegum vapes stink like sugary puke, at least the smell of tabs makes you think of old pubs!

Why?

Twitter is absolutely cooked now. I have a few artist friends who've given up posting their work there because of the inevitable flood of bots offering ripped off t-shirts or prints of their work in the replies. Just about any account with a significant number of followers will now get a ton of...

SMS is certainly old-fashioned, but every single phone from every manufacturer still has access to it, and it works without a data connection. Not everyone has Whatsapp installed (or even wants to, speaking personally), and there's plenty of stations out there with little-to-no 4G coverage. I...

Does it have to be Whatsapp or would it work through standard SMS?

I believe stabling there is happening more often to make space for the new trains at the main depot.

Wonder if that includes paint for the roof!

Totally fine - passenger is a gender neutral word after all!

My request is a very small one, literally! I'd like to see a higher resolution favicon for the forum. It's not world ending, but the chunky pixels are noticeable on more pixel-dense displays like most laptops, phones and tablets. I've included a cropped screenshot of how the current icon appears...

If they're sitting in my reserved seat in a table bay, I'd just sit on the table!

Fully agreed - dirty, noisy, ugly things!

For all of these, read 'good' as 'dangerously beyond life-expired'. I love the old Metro trains but they're long past their best before date, and I'd rather have an actually functioning transport network than something which delights enthusiasts of ancient relics.

After reading all this nonsense, I'm quite happy to suggest LT should only be allowed to ride on trains when securely stowed in a locked cage with suitcases stacked on top.

The next stop is... Eshington, ah hord ye!

The Scotrail units that occasionally worked the Carlisle-Newcastle service for Northern would announce Prudhoe ('Prudda') as 'Prood-ho'.

A nice straight-line high-speed viaduct from Newcastle to Carlisle so I can visit my nephews and niece in under half an hour!

For an example from a different industry, take a look at how cinemas use a tablet emulating a 20-year-old PalmOS device to control an IMAX projector. Certainly not as safety critical as onboard train systems, but quite clever all the same...

Would look quite tidy coming out of Sunderland. Smarten the place up a bit! ;)
