Worcester Shrub Hill - over-bridge but no lifts or ramps . Only way to get from P1 to P2 for a wheelchair / prams is over barrow crossing with platform staff assistance .

If you are driving to southern France or beyond , what difference does it make , how far away from London Folkestone is ? I did not day it would be Euro Shuttle stock used beyond Calais, I suggested before dedicated rolling stock that fits European gauge . There are many examples of lorry /...

Channel Tunnel ? 1712353410 So time wise , very similar to driving , with advantage of being in bed while getting there , rather than trying to stay awake behind the wheel . Also - why London ? Is it not the most natural place for a motor rail train , going to The Continent , to start at...

Wasn’t there a motorail train from Turkey to somewhere in Austria running summer only ? Optima Express name rings the bell . It was ( or is) private enterprise - have they made any money?

That’s why I mentioned different rolling stock as an option but still be operated by Channel Tunnel ( or Euro Tunnel , whichever company name is correct this days ). If you add cost of Channel crossing ( whichever way ) , fuel and tolls - trip to south of France by car will be somewhere in the...

Prosperity of few , believing in “free market “ or prosperity of the entire country ? If we were over regulated being in the EU , how would you call current level of additional and costly red tape ? Is it helping to achieve the “prosperity” you write about ? Are you trying to tell us that...

May be ASLEF does not want the real pay to be in public domain that much

And it is uninsured , MOT valid till July .

Cuts, cuts , cuts ….

Or how long that hour will last :-)))

Having right wing beliefs that damage Britain is a sickness and it is not Pro - Britis. I’d call it also dereliction of citizens duty.

Not to mention that pointing downwards laser light that measures ( rails ? ) in the middle of the train , for a passing train at speed looks like sparks coming up from under the carriage . It’s been reported as such to signallers number of times.

The limiter will apply “brakes” in electric mode for 800 class. The traction motors will apply dynamic braking to slow train down if going downhill . In diesel mode , if going downhill train will accelerate past the speed selected on the limiter. 802 should in theory use dynamic /...
