  1. Anyone with any experience in travelling from Gatwick Airport to Paddock Wood by train?

      Gatwick - Redhill - Tonbridge - Paddock Wood, 1hr 27, £13.50 single, or Gatwick - London Bridge - Paddock Wood, 1 hr 24, £27.10

      Fairly easy, change at Redhill and Tonbridge. You'll have to use the stairs at Redhill but there's lifts if you have lots of luggage, and the same is true of Tonbridge. Should take you around 60-80 minutes. There's frequent services between Gatwick-Redhill and 3tph from Tonbridge-Paddock Wood, but beware as there's only a hourly service between Redhill-Tonbridge. See if you can spot the tunnel of the Uckfield line around Edenbridge, took me a while to notice!

  2. Starting to feel really concerned about driving 45mph on the motorway, far too many near misses recently :/

      I never exceeded 45mph while driving a car before passing my test. Only used top (4th) gear once. Waste of time. Worst thing is having to stop on a Motorway before a n average speed camera because your average speed read out since the last camera is 60 and the limit 50

      Same here, I'm going next week. Wonder if Cilian Murphy will be as good in it as he is in other stuff?

      I don't know what reviews people are reading, but the ones I've read don't like it all that much!

  12. Oh I see how it is, status update removed for no reason with no explanation.

      Of course the 12th is a 'political' centred event; bombast and cultivating aggression and violence. You were just trying to be provocative - it merited closure. If you wish to try pushing it access to the site will be removed altogether.

      And for info; I don't have to explain when it is a breach of rules. And I do not like people trying to play the martyr either.

  13. Finally Northern Ireland is getting some recognition from the media, 123 DUP

      I sincerely hope 'developments' don't result in too much press 'recognition' over the coming months...

      Probably not the first time something's been "laid out" in the back of a Morris Minor.

      For "probably" please read "definitely" . . . . and that's my last word on the subject!

  18. Darn! The sentinel and USA tank bundle is very tempting!

  19. Got a brand new bag of 20 Dapol "disc" wheels, however one of them is spoked, I might put it on eBay and title it "Super Rare L@@K"

      Use "vintage" always a good overworked term to try to give old tat some worth.

  20. Only just found the "friends pending approval" tab whoops haha.

      I have no friends waiting approval :-(

      I'll talk to my engine's instead, maybe they will derail less.

      I was surprised to find about two and a half pages of Forum members who had "befriended" me. Never needed approval - it seems automatic.

  21. Quite enjoying this programe about the Forth Rail Bridge.
