Given we take someone from Rwanda in return, it makes even less sense. The most rabid anti immigrant supporter of this scheme does know that, right? I don't get why we don't just spend the money processing applications quicker so we can either deport, legally, or allow people to stay and let...

You can't really compare jobs like miners or print workers as those roles began to disappear, yet for some considerable time drivers will be needed on the railway. If in 20, 30 or 40 years new trains are built to be self driving, and a Government feels it is time to try and get rid of drivers...

Given how much a stamp costs these days (a genuine one, not a Chinese fake), absolutely not the latter.

I got a letter from Rishi today. A survey with some very loaded questions, like one pointing out the savings in tax for an average worker but the question being about reducing taxes for, well, basically anyone. He also told me of the 20,000 new police officers we now have (I recall that call...

All week our local FB page has reported a guy approaching people at our local shopping mall asking for around £3.50 to help with his broken down car. My wife encountered him this afternoon, so he's either still trying to sort his car or has found a lucrative money earner with a high turnover of...

GTR can't likely do anything without DfT approval now, just as with other operators.

I am not bothered about liveries either, but there needs to be clear markings for things like first class or where the accessible section is etc. That currently isn't consistent and can cause issues.

Do you believe all the nonsense about the immigrants being actively brought in by Biden to vote Democrat, and the stuff from Trump and Elon about the great replacement theory, and the effect on the bloodlines etc? Because that's all the stuff being said to claim the world has gone to pot, and...

The GWR 387s need a Great Northern logo, as there's currently nothing. They also need the relevant first class and accessible coach markings, and the c2c units also need the yellow first class strip. The marking of first class is very poor, and it isn't declassified in either unit - so it needs...

This forum needs a like button for posts like this.

That's a fair point. But as it stands, the services run pretty well and it doesn't look like we'll be testing max capacity for a while. The platforms don't get so overcrowded that it becomes potentially dangerous. A big fear I had was that with so many different destinations and stopping...

The core does seem very resilient and has proved some of the most cynical people (and I count myself as one of those early on) wrong.

She sold out massively and became a tool for the Tufton Street mob - who she appears to be receiving instructions from. She admitted in a radio interview recently that regarding remain/leave, she had to choose a side. Clearly she was happy to swap all of her views and values once we voted out...

Perhaps the figures from the last DfT ticketless survey has prompted more serious action to be taken against offenders going forward. The DfT appears to be finally showing signs of wanting to reduce fare evasion (a logical, and some might say stupidly obvious, way to go) and could be directing...

By all means report my post(s) if you feel it should be removed, but I think there has to be some allowance of discussions about things relating to the cars to help people make a decision or share opinions on whether people are going to switch. If people think that all this tech is going to be a...

I obviously can't comment specifically on your councillors, but it's worth noting just how much funding has been pulled from local councils over the years as central Government have just shifted everything to the council, which is limited by how much it can increase council tax (and if it...

While that's true, as we transition away from ICE to EV, all of the tech will eventually apply only to electric. Because of safety ratings, this tech will end up on even the most basic entry level models (unless the car maker is happy to sell a 0-1 rated car). Take the Dacia Spring as an...

Squirt water in face, rattle the seat and put some voltage through the steering wheel. I should patent my anti fatigue system before someone else copies it.

Didn't it happen a while ago and is now statute-barred? If so, what are the police going to be able to do?

With safety ratings now seemingly more about technology than physical safety (crumple zones etc) - and I understand the logic so it isn't a bad thing - car makers are all rushing to find ways to implement things like LKA - and must also want to keep costs down. Some cars appear to have done...
