They are making a right dogs dinner of the road configuration of Birmingham Road from Bacons End to Coleshill. Be interesting to see the construction progress. Although if the road surface gets as bad as Coleshill Heath Road, then they would be better off resurfacing it

I believe there are also very few places on the UK Railway network where Tilt is allowed - the obvious line allowing Tilt being the WCML (particularly the WCML South) where the 390s and 221s run

Are they being economical with the truth saying a Broken Down train, rather than a divided train? Suppose it is better for the public

Some of the AI pictures look like a screenshot from Train Simulator

Birmingham Road by Coleshill now has a nice dog-leg in it as the road has been diverted to allow HS2 work to be done. This road is closed from next week again so it will be interesting to see what they are doing next. Traffic is a nightmare in that area when either Birmingham Road or Coleshill...

Must have been lucky last week (Tuesday) - I went from Birmingham International to Euston and return with no issues whatsoever. Both 11 car, no issues finding a seat (in Coach A)

I hate watching films on terrestrial TV, especially when you know what will happen and it's either dubbed over or edited out

I did have to chuckle at the disappearing Charles Leclerc under the advertising when he was recovering back on track after his collision with Perez at the first corner. Just shows that the advertising shown on the TV screen is not always that which is displayed at the track :)

The rumour mill also includes Alonso going to Red Bull with Perez going in the opposite direction to Aston Martin. Not sure whether Aston Martin would want to release Alonso and have Perez back tbh (particularly with Lance Stroll struggling), but Alonso I assume would relish the move to Red Bull

I was always told by my parents since I was very young that I had an allergy with penicillin, don't know why or what happened when I had penicillin, but I've always listed it as an allergy

I've been bawled at by Avanti staff at Rugby before when I was taking avoiding action around a pushchair and strayed 5cm into the yellow line area

All is not well in the Red Bull camp between the drivers if Max's reactions after the race are anything to go by. He didn't park on the grid to take up the 2nd place spot, he didn't initially congratulate Perez and only appeared to speak to him when Alonso was doing his interview with...

Just wondered when LNR Crewe-Birmingham services started running via and stopping at Tame Bridge Parkway between New Street and Wolverhampton? Yesterday I took that service for the first time this year and noticed this routing. It can make things confusing as the booking systems offer a...

Birmingham International has trains that come from New Street and terminate normally on Platforms 1 & 3 (sometimes 5 as well), then head towards New Street on their next turn

One of the cars was in a field by Burton Green if you fancy a trip :)

Does anyone have any suggestions for website hosting? I have recently purchased a domain via GoDaddy (as they appear to be on of the few that host .racing domains), but they have annoyed me with their website hosting prices and charging me over £50 more than their January deals site says. So...

Bet you're glad you never ended up at St Andrews now, a rather dire result again...

There's also a lot of road changes around the Interchange site and up by Melbicks Garden Centre. I for one won't miss the traffic island they refer to as Northway as it has always been a PITA for traffic being in the wrong lane. Slightly confusing as to why they now have put arrow markings on...

General folk (the uninitiated if you like) also refer to Birmingham New Street as BNS which would be ok if that code wasn't taken by Barnes :)

My only hope is that people are able to heat their homes accordingly during the cold weather. I for one have been watching the Smart Meter only to discover that it was under-reporting the amount of £ spent per day so apart from it being next to useless, I found that my house is costing me...
