    Just wondering - have GWR or FGW ever run Pacers coupled in multiple with their 150s, 153s or 158s?

    It was one hell of a Diversion.

    150s definitely, seen a few combos down Dawlish way; 153s seems quite feasible; 158s I've no idea, maybe as ECS?

    Yes, yes and yes. I've seen all three combinations.

    If anyone knows what the prominent sort of screechy-sounding instrument in most - if not all - versions of the theme to "Doctor Who" is, I'd like to know... I just can't place it!

    There was a show I watched on TV which mentioned this at some point - I think it was a case of the relevant BBC department going away and making the theme from countless different things. The suggestion of the theremin seems to be the best answer. (The theremin being one of few instruments you can share in the current climate as you don't touch it! :))

    @XAM2175 probably that then, it was in a documentary about the programme some years ago that mentioned it

    It could possibly not be a real instrument at all, most of the music and sound affexts were created by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

    Some proof-reading and sanity checks would not go amiss on the National Rail website (example below:)

    I think the time it showed a Fife Circle train as destination Shoeburyness was even more laughable ;)

    Also note the date tag attached to the photo - unprofessional at best!

    Regardless of your stance on Covid, can we all just agree that the communication quality of information needs to improve?

    Vague ambiguous nonsense, nonsense one-way systems. and blatantly incorrect terminology seem to be the norm now.

    I have just realised that the Speculative forum is invisible if you are not logged in.

    I never noticed that before!

    The forum isn't letting me submit posts for some reason...

    I had the same issue on the TV advertising thread. 'Submit' didn't work in Chrome, but seemed fine in Safari.

    @nlogax Adblockers will detect the word "advertising" and assume things below it are an ad, which interferes with the submit functionality. Do you perhaps have an adblocker installed in Chrome, but not Safari?

    @Xenophon PCDGS Yes, I managed to figure out why as you can see above

    I wonder if they have trouble getting trains started at North Pole TMD because of how cold it is :D

    They have magical reindeer for shunters, so as long as they don't run out of carrots it's all good! ;)

    Have you only just become one? It used to be at about 990-1020 posts that triggered it

    @hexagon789 I've not been paying attention very much, but I don't believe I was one yesterday and I've posted about 30 times today so make of that what you will

    You're right, the threshold seems to have been raised. It used to be around 1000, now it seems to be over 1100
