That is my feeling. The first to go will have been the staff who can easily find an alternative job. They will not come back unless their new employer looks to have a more insecure future than Derby Litchurch Lane has had for a while.

There is a balance to be struck between convenience and speed for the most able of us and that need people have to be mobile. Perhaps we could improve the roads be encouraging older people to give up the licence by heavily subsidising public transport for them. Further more taxis to take them...

In all cases it is sudden manoeuvres that are dangerous. Sometimes a sudden manoeuvre is unavoidable. Depending how fast you are going determines whether both hands are on the steering wheel or if it is time to use the horn. If you need your hands for something and you feel the need to have...

Furthermore coaches and lorries are not permitted in lane three apparently. I have a friend who hates people swapping lanes in very slow moving traffic, notices them going back and forth for no benefit. Then he does it !. He even reminds me to change lanes when I am driving. I will change if I...

Indeed. My first "interesting" experience was getting in a minicab back in the 1990s and noticing the driver was being entertained by a transistor radio. The radio was in the front footwell.... (ideal for getting stuck under the brake pedal). I would add that I don't just see it as Motorways...

There are 365 days in the (average) year and from now on I expect, as part of the curriculum, all school children to learn by heart what each day represents/celebrates/remembers. Gerrof, that's my day. You can have February 30th. May I suggest a day to celebrate all those who have nothing...

I agree the only enforcing seems to be that achieved with automatic/non-human devices. I for one would rather replace speed bumps with something more likely to catch the speeders. A speed bump does not slow down people who do not care about the speed limit, others safety or their car. It does...

@QJ BR Welsh Highlander Pleasure Seeker 1Z82 0708 Brighton - Blaenau Ffestiniog ADEX Oh for the days of Pleasure-Seekers and Merry-Makers again. But this time with the money I did not have back then !.

Crickey, twas ages ago that I stopped being able to sing that (badly ?) in the right key !.

Well, needless to say he is probably milking it for the the fame :D......

Poor girl. And what was the shunter name made up of !.

Lovely shot of 45037. Activity going on around it and a feeling of it "arriving".

Order ?. I doubt it. More likely hinting that SE could use the things that SWR don't seem to think they need !.

Those are lovely winter night time shots. I wonder if any locos stable overnight at Woking these days ?. I can remember in the 70s keeping an eye (head) out for locos in Woking yard and other such places.

If it is ULEZ compliant then there is a market for such cars.

Thanks. So then South again to Long Marston the next day.

That was my first thought when I saw it on the news earlier today. You know your getting older when you remember back in the past there were less scandals (the misbehaviour still happened but it did not make the news).

Stadler are expensive. I suspect we have got what we pay for. Derby perhaps is ideal for this penny pinching country (up tp a point - as in no more orders for too long). The 720s are possibly what we should expect.

Does anyone know if this was a Mk5a move ?. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K03736/2024-04-10/detailed

At last - all the 710s have entered service ?.
