Contributions were and would be dwarfed by economic benefits. How much money government and businesses must spend now on all red tape that wasn’t there while UK was in the EU? How much money economy lost due to bexit ? If it is 4% of GDP, most economists say, then UK lost 120 billion USD (4%...

I think engineering side has been resolved - 800’s do switch between modes quite well, that is once under the wires driver selects electric mode and it takes less than a minute ( may be 20sec ) to switch . Same the other way . 1715956023 I can see how BEMU’s could replace Turbos between Didcot...

Which is a BS . People of Ukraine “installed” by choosing them in democratic elections, its leaders and whether they are pro West or pro NATO is not Russians damn business . Besides NATO is defence alliance not some invading force , and Putler knows that full well. Russia should focus on its...

On 800’s you can select the platform number and train should release correct doors even if “wrong road “ . Not much different than bi- di platforms at Didcot or Reading. In worst case scenario , driver can manually select number of doors to open on the TMS but need to check on the cameras ( or...

It is but unusual due to heavy traffic in both directions to be routed “wrong way “ but it happens some time to time . Lines are bi-di up to Wolvercote Jn from Appledord ( beyond Oxford , where Banbury / Worcester lines split ).

It is even more silly than that . UK does not carry out the checks but businesses need to pay for them anyway twofold : 1. To custom agents for paperwork 2. To the government for custom officials carrying the checks - which they don’t . In addition to that each business exporting / importing...

I agree , I am wasting my time …. But, I will try again. Before referendum no one had idea how many people from the EU lived in the UK and how many UK immigrants lived in the EU . We only knew it since when Settled Status Scheme was put in place and EU countries citizens could join that...

I think it can but for ECS or rescue ( happy to be corrected ).

And how is the EU’s fault , that UK could not even cater for its “own” citizens properly ? You also conveniently forgot to mention that more immigration was ( and still is ) from outside of the EU than inside. Has the situation improved since brexit or it got worse ? 1714033841 I was not...

It is not picking . The whole brexit issue , as told many times by some on this forum , was about “ unlimited “ immigration from the EU as a whole , hence comparing numbers of UK immigrants living in the EU to number of EU immigrants living in the UK is a valid one . The conclusion is : the...

Comparing numbers of UK citizens living in EU (1.3mil out of 67mil ) and EU citizens (3mil out of 400mil ) living in the UK , it looks that higher percentage of UK citizens prefers to live in the EU than percentage of EU citizens living in the UK.

And who is going to train new drivers if old ones are all fired as per Reagan idea?

Probably in years 2004-2010 , but not now. Since brexit vote, £ is worth much less in the EU , and what is worth does not allow for living in a affluent luxury ( it never had ).

Because brexiters are opposing FoM … (some of them ). Funnily , majority of seniors voted for not being able to go to sunny places to retire … Of course they claim , they knew what they were voting for and I am sure they are happy with their choices. 1713785382 FoM did not end at all . it...

In return UK “swamped” EU with its sick and ill retirees.
