  1. Why is Windows 10 file explorer so utterly abysmal? 

  2. I've completely lost track of time from  so many things being in limbo. My guess is it's March 232nd

  3. 45 years ago today, a train passed a 20mph speed board which was out, the next one was lit but it was too late for the driver to slow the train - it hit the TSR at approx 80mph, derailed and killed 6 people. Nuneaton, 06/06/1975

      Can't believe it was so long ago. I made a staff suggestion a year before that for portable AWS magnets at warning boards but got turned down as impractical.:mad:

      Dave, will need three at some time soon but they are easy enough to slip under the radar.

  7. Amazon please note that although the bush in the plant pot outside the front door may belong there it does not constitute "Handed to Resident" on your delivery status. You have the soggy evidence at your returns warehouse.

  9. Having difficulty finding photos of the cab end of Class 122 driving trailers built by Gloucester for the 122 powered cars. Does anyone know if they had the same small destination name box on the roof as the 122 'bubble cars'. It would make sense

      Probably no more than I am. Can't remember seeing much SECR round my patch. Only interesting thing was a coach used as a mess van.

      I nearly fell into that trap then bought a lined one in Rails sale.

      TheSignalEngineer

      Or perhaps it should be "Boxopeners Disenchanted"
