There appears to be at least one 166 shuttling between Swindon and Gloucester/Cheltenham.

I'll take a punt (or is it a Euro these days? Grin) at No. 6 - Downpatrick and County Down Railway?

So - if Eurostar fails, someone else can have a go??

Slightly unfair on Eurostar: it's unlikely that another operator would do any better in the present circumstances.

But seriously - deceased business class passengers who weren't in that state when boarding a 747 are sometimes allowed to use one of the crew bunks.

747?

Ah yes, I remember now...  Sad

Helicopters for the US contingent, including Marine 1 if required, are likely to be delivered via Fairford, where the food is more American. The Ospreys don't need carrying, although I'm not sure I would like to do trans-Atlantic in one.


When President Obama attended the NATO summit at the Celtic Manor in Newport, Air Force One flew into Fairford and a whole array of smaller aircraft (including the Ospreys and Marine One) flew out about an hour later, presumably heading for Cardiff.

Terry Nation was so unbelievably spot-on 45 years ago but let's hope he was wrong about the vaccine.  Undecided

Slam door trains at Great Malvern - sorry, Brimpsfield - too.

Fascinating. Please can we have the bottom twenty as well? Maybe a competition to guess the least-used words? As 'petunia' has gone, I nominate 'spigot'.  Grin

Edit - this before I saw the other post with the list!
