An extreme free-market pressure group, who (I think) would like government to butt out of providing everything except defence and law and order. The "Invisible Hand" of the "free" market, unencumbered by any sort of regulation, would sort itself out. Of course, any wealth created would automatically trickle down to the bottom. Oh, and passing any savings of government expenditure passed on as tax cuts to the rich, since that encourages entrepreneurship The biggest problem is that it's difficult to see, anywhere in the world, where even its partial application has even looked like working as described.

Yes, it's tragic; why are you misrepresenting Luddites again?

Do you have a name?

Anlaby Road Beverley Road Hessle Road

I saw, but didn't smell Blue Flue's Centaur in the same place at various times between 1974 and 1978

There wasn't in fact a train in the down slow platform; H & W was the stopping train's last stop, and if up long-distance expresses were running late (in the case of the Perth Express, 90 minutes) the instructions allowed outer suburban trains to run "main line" to Euston I suppose, where all the trains on a particular line were run by the owning company, regulation could be covered by a clause in the General Appendix, or in box instructions. What happened in the old days when a line was jointly owned, or another company had running powers?

The nuclear and oil reserves were worldwide

Other T2s were stretched as well, to increase deadweight. Esso, and several other US-based tanker companies, also retained several well into the 1970s. One of the most drastic ship alterations surely has to be the rebuilding of Royal Mail Line's Aragon into one of the world's first car carriers in the early 1970s

I can remember my dad (a building services engineer) receiving a paper from his professional institution, at about the same time, giving coal reserves, in the UK, of 300 years; oil for about 50 years, providing no new fields; and Nuclear for 90 years. As I recall, there was little attention paid to renewables, and none at all to shale gas and oil.

No, it isn't! Plonking a concert hall on top makes it very dark

You hope so!

Love it!

1694, I always thought; the date of the founding of the Bank of England. It was the by-product of giving asylum to Spanish-Jewish people, was it not, after they were chucked out of Spain. You can magick money up any time you want, as long as you repay it on time. Similarly the Huguenots after the Revocation of the Treaty of Nantes in 1685. There's a lesson here we seem to have forgotten!

Does seem a strange way to go about it!. What sort of win could be had by electrifying from Guide Bridge to Stalybridge?

Did no-one do the collapsing can experiment in school science? The other thing, I suppose, is that tanks should be able to freely vent; indeed there are automatic pressure/vacuum valves manufactured just for this.

Soon as I saw it!

Get rid of the offside law, and what you'd have is a tall player in the opposing penalty area, with his* team-mates lumping the ball up to him*, hoping he'd* score. It's the offside law which introduces tactics and skill (as in correct decision-making) into the game. * Other genders available on request On penalties, perhaps allow the keeper to move after the ref. has blown their whistle. But that could give an advantage to the penalty-taker.

You're probably correct.

That's because WF38 is a new signal. A junction has been removed immediately in advance of it; the feather belongs to an OOU signal, I think, which was for that junction. The photo was taken while the Waterloo Area Resignalling Scheme was in progress. Less than 5 months later, the terrible "Clapham Junction" collision occurred, during the next phase of the scheme.

Of as much advantage with piston valves, surely, was that the valve heads could be widely spaced on the valve rods, allowing the steam passages between the the valve chest and the cylinder to be straightened.

According to Michael Harris (Gresley's Coaches) most Gresley coaching stock was withdrawn in 1962-3.

If I recall, the original Silver Jubilee set was a pair of articulated twins with an articulated triplet restaurant set in between. The Coronation and West Riding sets were slightly different. Was the Coronation the only set with the observation car?

Ever read a book by the journalist David Conn, The Beautiful Game?, in which he made many of the same points 20 years ago? It starts with a description of the events at Hillsborough, and ends with Batchelor's attempt to close down York City F.C. for personal gain.

Another method might be to put some sort of insulating material between the copper and the aluminium, if that's possible.

Absolutely no doubt about which train 44802 was going to haul!
