The overspeed trip only arrived with the MTU refurbishment so perfectly possible in 2003 to do over 132mph.

Who cares? We all know what was meant.

Travelled yesterday and it really feels like the food has reached bargain basement levels. It's been a slow decline ever since GNER went. Had the bacon roll in the morning. The bacon was decent enough but deary me, the roll was small and lacked any freshness. Crispy and dry and obviously warmed...

Strange assessment. I see no evidence of the Republicans wanting to violate the constitution like this. That risk seems to be far more from the Democrat side.

The point is, cash offers a buffer so systems can happily go down for a few days depending on how much cash you take out at once and you can still pay. Card however makes you reliant on tech working 100% of the time.

I don't get this idea of the "Tory press". All I see is an establishment press. Both the Tories and Labour are establishment and parties that will essentially keep the status quo. The press are far more anti-establishment so parties like Reform are their target, not Labour. 1720176740 I always...

Correct. The fact that people are still testing and wittering on about Covid like it makes them special is mind-numbing. Just treat it like we do a cold/flu. Sad to see no lessons have been learnt if mask wearing is back on the Isle of Man as aluded to above. Facepalm.

You're simply projecting your own prejudices of the UK onto the whole of Europe. Sorry, but out of the whole of Europe, the UK is arguably one of the least xenophobic/racist/whatever word you want to use whose meaning has been totally diluted over the past decade or two. Just look at the amount...

Which is disgraceful in itself and blatant sexism, racism and whatever ism you want to attach to sexuality. The fact this kind of thing is said these days without as much of a blink of the eye is bonkers.

Of course none of this would be much of a problem if we weren't saddled with hugely space inefficient 4/5 car toy trains 20 years ago. Sigh.

Adwy is right. We have a 746 phone hooked up to Digital Voice via the home hub and it receives calls fine.

Thank you. I did see mention of this ticket but thought it had been withdrawn as it didn't seem to be given as an option on the ScotRail website. I shall delve deeper. EDIT: I see there is an option in small text that allows you to compare all ticket types. Found it there.

I'm travelling to Oban in the summer and keen to travel on a 153 with their more comfortable seating (in my opinion at least). Is the only way to reserve a seat in this coach to also reserve a cycle space at the same time? It seems a shame to take away availability for someone with a bike when I...

I don't think it's even to do with cost. Warm colour temperatures don't cost anymore these days. Just some bean counter belief that creating a surgery like atmosphere promotes "safety" (the god of the modern world).

A distinction needs to be made when comparing TSW4 & TSC. If you're comparing with a vanilla TSC with no third party additions, TSW is far better. If you are happy to spend a bit of wonga on third party additions for TSC, in my opinion at least, it is far superior in variety, graphical quality...
