Left for a Bassett Hound presumably ??

Whilst waiting for the steam train this afternoon I noticed a new(ish) ticket machine on P2 at Warminster. The major fault with the old machine was that the screen faced South and the machine was out in the open. The new one faces South and is in the open - just like the old one.............and just like the old one the screen is totally illegible in anything like bright daylight !!!

Yes...................and 12 coaches !!

Passing through Warminster this afternoon (2hrs late...............delay repay ??)

Just wondering if you have tried this one on your travels ?    (from Sunday's Telegraph)

Could be interesting.

An immaculate Clun Castle rolls gently to a stop at Salisbury after journeying from Birmingham, just before midday today.

....................another guess: these two stations still have Waterloo services 

Absolutely !  As the population at large gets larger, heavier and taller the seat pitch must be changed to at least 2 inches less than anything Michael O'Leary could ever dream of. Then you can cram even more people into each carriage - then, when you have (eventually) to buy new rolling stock, instead of 8 or 9  car trains you can buy 4 or 5 car ones. Of course, when you couple two of these together, you claim to be buying 8 and 10 car trains............and hope the "customers" don't notice the gap in the middle !

Equally, it could be asked how far "foward" do we want to go - in many cases, to protect people from their own stupidity. Darwin rules !

Would they like some 165/6s ?   Five abreast seating to snuggle up and keep warm.......................

In the early days of the project, many promises were made about the quality and reliability of these new ..............roads/hospitals/libraries/sports centres/airports/aircraft carriers/armoured cars/mail deliveries/bank availabilities/flood prevention schemes/electric cars/supermarket cashiers/Boeing 737s/etc/etc................

None of the falls in passengers to W'loo appear to be accompanied by a rise in the number of passengers to Paddington. These have also fallen - so there does does not seem to have been much/any transfer of passengers from the (removed) W'loo services to the Paddington route. A loss of passengers, and revenue, to the TOCs^▸ (Train Operating Company)..................more cars on the roads too ??
Many people still think there are no trains at all from Warminster to Waterloo after the Temple Meads services were cancelled. One has to say the TOCs just don't seem to care any more !

24 hr clock - with colon please.  Don't bother with the Leap Second !
