Using LEGO ?

Wouldn't be Galashiels by any chance would it ?

But that decoy looks like its fixed to a fixed pole, the kites in Bristol are free flying kites and there of two of them in close proximity to each other.

It works in Bristol's Millennium Square, the two birds of prey kites flying over the @Bristol, sorry the renamed @Bristol building, now We The Curious.

I'll try to attend and I presume DR, well known to Grahame will too, I'll try and contact him in the meantime.

Used Metrobus to get into Centre yesterday and Today (17 & 18/09/28). Yesterday was also the start of the U3 service from the Centre to UWE only. Apparently students have been told to use the m3 as the quickest route between Bristol Centre and the campus. Students were therefore sitting and the Centre stop oblivious of the nice newly painted blue bus sat at the stop with a First Logo on the side but operated by CT Transport would take them to the same stop at the UWE campus even though the side destination display was stating U3 UWE Frenchay and the drivers were having to gee em up to board what would have been an empty bus departing to the campus.

I an amazed at the campus, there are blocks of accomodation at the campus described as family apartments and indeed one blue U3 service I witnessed departing was carrying 4 Oriental looking females each pushing a babies buggy and tugging behind them older children, 1 having what I would guess was a 5 and 3 years old and another a 4 year old with all 4 buggies stowed in the wheelchair space and the space made available by folding up the 3 seats on the drivers side after the stairs to the upper deck. And yes there is a nursery and kindergarten on the campus.

One thing that intrigues me is this, the U3 is operated by CT Transport who will operate Metrobus route m1 when it commences operating, U3 will become part of that route but route U3 CANNOT use the M32 Bus Only lanes to exit and join the M32, only in Bristol could such ludicrous conditions be concocted,

Also I noted this evening that stops on South Gloucestershires patch still has the old timetables displayed, I might vandalise the Lyde Green Park and Ride stop in the morning by sellotaping a copy of the new combined U3/m3 timetable to the timetable display case as a public spirited individual providing information to the pulic as the LA can.t be arsed to do it.

Are there toilets on board ?

Perhaps its pirated fuel illicitly imported from the land of the pixies.

Wot, no wheelchair space in standard class.

AND its caught on camera !

Yep, but they didn't press on with production producing a lame duck (so far with the IEP^▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project.)'s) offering.

Well I can remember the telegram and the telegraph boys/young me who delivered the telegrams on a 250cc BSA motor cycle, now don't get me started on another subject or I'll have to consider starting a new thread, Telegrams and how they were delivered.

Isn't anyone in GWR HQ^▸ (Headquarters) got a tongue in their head who could ask the owner to discuss a spot hire arrangement, GWR has the ability to maintain HST's still and with the current performance of the IEP^▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project.) fleet a "spot hire" arrangement for a couple of HST's could well last for some time and could be negotiated at least say monthly, there are more than one way of skinning a cat you know.

Then introduce a "spot hire" regime, simple.

An IEP^▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project.) can exit Stoke Gifford Depot onto any 1 of 6 lines, the down loop, No1, 2, 3 and 4 platform lines and the up loop and when all track alterations are complete be able to access all of the six lines from the Bristol direction too.
I expect special arrangements are in force to allow for at least two of the aforementioned lines to be available for ECS^▸ (Empty Coaching Stock) movements at all times.
