The only time I've tried to vote by post was in the General Election of 2010. We knew we'd be on a two week holiday abroad, and the GE would be two days before we came home. We applied in good time, but nothing arrived before we left on holiday. On arrival home, the paperwork was waiting for...

Although "feathers" were also often known as "lunar lights" on the Southern! And "the flash" around Birmingham. My vote is for boards rather than pegs.

That is correct. Although you might, very very occasisonally, get a 158 turn up. I caught a 166 on a stopper from Newton Abbot yesterday and it had all the hopper windows open even though it wasn't particuarly hot with a cool northerly breeze.

Surely not. It will just be number of tickets sold with a destination or origin point of Altnabreac (i.e. entrances & exits). Any others breaking their journeys, will be like those travelling without tickets: invisible.

Sorry to hear you're past it. :D Hope you're feeling better next time you go passed it. I'll get my coat......

As the General Election date has now been announced, I assume we are now in purdah, and if the project is to go ahead the decision will now have to wait until after the election? In short, yet more delay!

Sounds like one to try when I'm next in Leeds, but slightly off topic from the OP's request for railway bars in London!

I can tell you it was the 16.10 Crewe to Newark Castle on Thursday 1st June 2023. I'm afraid I can't tell you if Peartree was a scheduled stop or not for that train; perhaps someone else can assist in that?

Purely by chance I happened to be on that train from Crewe to Derby. Portillo boarded with his team of three a couple of stops after leaving Crewe and did some filming on board. When we stopped at Peartree, he was filmed leaving the train. He then quickly got back on it again, and the train...

They're just colour light distants then? That makes much more sense. Thanks.

Two signals inside Totley tunnel is surprising to this observer from the south west. Not sure an extended signal stop within the tunnel would be much fun for anyone. Can't be easy to maintain either.

You know you're getting older when....... ........you're set in your ways. ;) Other stouts & porters are available. London Black is wonderful.

Indeed. Merseyrail & Transport for Wales are not on strike at all. Great Western Railway are not on strike on 5th April; although there is an overtime ban in place. So the journey is physically do-able via Chester & Hereford (although GWR's services are infrequent on this route). Just a matter...

Thanks for all your advice. I've now solved it with the help of the User's Guide menu. I'm glad I won't now be in danger of running out of camera memory on holiday!

Oops! Thanks, you're right of course. Changed original post to MB. Still a big increase in size that I don't want.....

I have a Sony DSC-HX200V camera that's quite a few years old now. Typically, the pictures taken using it have been about 800 KB - 1.1 MB. Recently, inadvertantly, I ended up in the settings menu, and getting back out of that I seem to have changed something. Pictures taken now are enormous: 4.5...

And parts of the Rame peninsular, west of the Tamar, were in Devon - Kingsand & Mount Edgcumbe, hence this sign on the wall in Cawsand/Kingsand beside the Halfway House Inn

I like what you did there. :D

You've beaten me to it. Perhaps Bobby should be the official job title. It could be short for Robert or Roberta so not gender specific either! :D

Or come back from London Marylebone instead?
