Wasn't there a row when 60110 was used to haul a special for the WI? Naming a modern train Lady Godiva with matching vinyl's anyone? I'd be doing a Monsieur Alphonse (Undertaker from Allo Allo,)clutching my heart and keeling over

The position around Colston is complex but there was basically a Victorian 'Cult' built up around him partly I suggest with a view to keeping the lower orders quiet

No, for practitioners of the solitary vice

I would have thought that Clive of India was far worse

I live in Frome and we have had two fatal accidents on the bypass, both caused by men over 40, and high on drugs, so don't blame the youngsters for everyone. What we do have though is increasingly powerful vehicles that are not a good fit for the current road system that was built for horses and carts coupled with cheap technology that allows them to be reigned in to some extent. What I do think though is that we need to ask some serious questions about the sort of vehicles we allow on our roads in terms of speed, acceleration & size.

Firstly I suggest that the biggest issue isnt testing its enforcement and the knowlege that if you drive like a than you will find yourself waiting at the bus stop. I would also suggest that there should be a restriction on the maximum weight and power that you are allowed to drive as a 'new' driver. I would also suggest a similar restriction for anyone with more than say 6 points on their licence. So its an Izetta for you Wayne until you have had a clean licence for two years.......

Bit like being married ............

A few years ago I re roofed my log shed with Onduline which was easy to work and unlike felt should be good for many years

For what its worth my brother has a log cabin garage he uses as a workshop which is heated - or cooled by a heat pump

I remember having a discussion with a LT Engineer about crashworthiness. I suggest that the issue now isnt the ability of the stock to withstand a crash, its the ability of the passengers to survive the impact. I would imagine that in the case of the nuclear flask test (Think Hixton) the crashworthiness of the MK1 stock would be irrelevant

There are many issues and while I dont want to declare 'open season' on chavs, my view is that if you attack people or steal their stuff and end up getting a kicking, tough, dont go wailing to the law

Has it been reported?

Whay was the 1938 pooling of PO wagons? I thought that the entire point of PO wagons was that the owners controlled them.

Police? More like a job for The Inspector of Lunatics, or is Broadmoor missing an inmate?

Where did the photo come from If so has it been passed to the Police?

Hium, Certainly illegal

Many years ago when Waverley was (mostly) run by single men who remembered paddle steamers as they were the Lavvies could have done with some improvement. It wasnt until the Chiefs wife refused to spend more than two hours on the ship that the message got over loud and clear and the situation was improved. So yes thats the sort of problem that you can get if you done have someone with an outside view

If its Big ladies perhaps Evans?

I wonder if either an extra 156 on the Scotrail services between FW & Mallaig or an extra daily service could be organised
