There must be direct services missing out Swansea already, because every time I've got a train from Bristol to Cardiff, it's never gone through Swansea. Or even Felindre...

I’ve left the Railways Minister Wendy Morton MP and the Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps in no doubt that it should be a shortlist of one! #1down4togo #doncasterisgreat  Picture ... some bloke in front of a museum piece that had low availability and high staffing needs due to the technology employed, and which wasn't climate friendly and used up irreplaceable fossil fuel resources. Acceleration was limited due to low adhesion and lack of powered wheels throughout the train, and that made for poor timings.

Article about middle-lane hogging on motorways illustrated with a photograph "of a generic motorway" with no middle lane! Berkshire LivePerhaps someone on Berkshire Live will read the comment appended to the article and find a more suitable photo. (I'm not sure what a "generic motorway" is.) |

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Apparently named after a famous local train spotter who was always first with the news. |
