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 I did see mention of this ticket but thought it had been withdrawn as it didn't seem to be given as an option on the ScotRail website.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...

Which really is a poor show. An hour is more than enough time to do it.

Truly in awe of this armchair-ity. Do people have no limit?

Do what I do and simply stop reading it. You'll feel far better and be no less informed.

I find peoples' faith in Louise Haigh rather naive. I'm sure she'll be just as incompetent as the current lot. Then in 5/10/15 years time when the railways are still rubbish and the Tories are due to take Labour's place again for the latest merry go round of mediocrity, we will no doubt have...

Very odd choice and a backward step. Especially for something like a heritage railway which is going to attract a disproportionate amount of older people who are more likely to use cash. They aren't a hipster cafe in Shoreditch...!

The MML timetable has been useless ever since Dec 2008 when they removed the intermittent Luton/Bedford stops from Sheffield services. The requirement to change twice for Nottingham or thrice for Sheffield if travelling from a Home Counties station makes it a very unappealing prospect. Going...

I've always found it odd how signalman, or any term with man as a suffix, is not seen as gender neutral. We are all mankind and woman has man as a suffix. It was just the very start of the backward DEI ideology which is so prevelant now.

I think this is what is called a luxury belief if you have been fortunate enough not to have bombs rained down upon you in the middle of the night. Xenophobia is the least of your worries when you face death and destruction on a nightly basis. Yes, it may not be logically correct to display hate...

Is that what transport strategy has come to? Deary me. People really need to leave politics where it belongs.

No surprise in today's world where DEI is the new religion. This now trumps easy to remember/say, politically neutral names that actually work for a transport system.

I don't know how anyone thinks 745s are ideal for InterCity runs compared to the old Mk3s. The intermediate doors spoil that for me. I don't find the seats as comfy as the old IC70s in standard class either. Was never too keen on the IC80s in first class so not much of a downgrade there.

I'm in two minds. He does seem to go out looking for trouble and I don't trust the way he sometimes uses click bait titles referring to "pretty girls" or "teens". At the same time though, if it exposes ludicrous beliefs such that Chinese laws/customs have any validity in the UK, or that stating...

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on that then.

I feel as though the "we've had enough of experts" line is totally misunderstood by most who seem to think it is some kind of brag of wilful ignorance. Quite the opposite, it is a frustration from those who seek the truth that they are told to believe an 'expert' simply because they are decreed...
