168005 calling at Haddenham with a service for Marylebone on 19/03/03. Only the north end middle vehicle has the statutory contrasting door vinyls. At this time it had only recently been reinserted into 168005, having been temporarily used as a centre car for a class 168/1 unit.

@matthewhodg Not sure there have been that many over the last 100 years. Shakedown generally has to happen in service on the railway.

This is getting a bit ridiculous…. Has there been a single new fleet introduction that has gone smoothly in the last 10 years?

I'm very sceptical about Burnham, as I was about Starmer. I'm still open to any progressive, centre-left movement because it is better than Reform/Restore. Thin gruel though.

So Burnham the unelected PM wants to tax you more so he can give away to wasteful corrupt Foreign Aid projects

Reform UK@reformparty_uk

Andy Burnham wants to spend £18.3 billion on foreign aid. British people are struggling more than ever and our new Prime Minister wants give an extra £10 billion to foreigners around the world. Reform will always put British people first.

EMR has finally gone public and fingered Hitachi for the Class 810 late delivery and unreliability plus unreliability of Class 222s which Hitachi also maintain. Class 810 rollout "will continue through 2026/2027. Order was placed 7 years ago

@AndyRoden1 Applying the livery before GBR actually exists does seem a bit cart-before-horse.

GBR's emerging identity is out there and extending its reach. I maintain that it looks better on metal than in mock-ups, which will doubtless incur a flaming on here.

On this day in 2002. Marylebone Station Master Donald Wilson shows off "Bill" and "Ben", two experimental ticket vending machines that were installed for trials. "Bill" on the left is an Ascom B8070 and "Ben" on the right is a Shere Fast Ticket. The latter won favour.

Been visiting friends this week, three hour drive each way, mostly Motorway. Looked at the car windscreen this am and only 8 dead insects. A few years ago the windscreen would have been plastered. Where have all the insects gone?

@uncreativetom The point is, the bat tunnel was necessary in order to comply with legislaltion. We can argue about whether or not that legistation is sound or correct, but it is disingenuous to use it as a stick with which to beat HS2.

tom 🎸@uncreativetom·10 Tem

This projects price has obviously been way overblown but I’m so tired of seeing this bat tunnel brought up in every argument. The bat tunnel is a good thing and is a minuscule part of the project cost. There are far bigger fish to fry with this project than nature protection

Looking for Growth@lfg_uk

Sheer incompetence, or something worse? HS2 will cost more than £100bn. JUST HS2. Spain's ENTIRE High Speed Rail network cost LESS than £100bn. THE ENTIRE NETWORK! The world's SECOND longest. There are NO excuses. This is a choice. Why do our leaders keep choosing it?

I've always found Ann Widdecombe's opinions rather foul. In fact she's often been my reverse weather vane. If she hated something, I loved it and vice versa. However, I'm not going to revel in a violent murder and I don't understand people who do.

I have a dream, that whoever designed the USB-A plug dies, & at the cremation, the coffin snags on the opening that leads to the business side of the crematorium. And that all the undertakers can do is turn the coffin upside down in order to make it fit through the slot.

Everyone is making a huge fuss about this green tunnel but I'll bet my hat this was requested by the local authority because they want to build a housing estate on that airfield and they didn't want HS2 cutting the site in half.
