  1. Some discussion of Ian Allen at the end of this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b061txyx - it's a radio programme, so should be available to all.
  2. Suspect device in Shaw Street. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/bomb-scare-in-dublin-city-centre-causes-rail-and-traffic-disruption-1.2283444
  3. There is a "security alert", resulting in no rail traffic between Connolly and Pearce stations.
  4. Is it definitely railway? I can't quite read the signs, other than "First Class Passengers Only". Is it possible it's from a ship? The "porthole" makes me wonder that....
  5. Compromise! Warhammers in your coaches - and tell anybody that notices that they're going to a fancy-dress party and couldn't get anybody to be the designated driver..
  6. Legolip Louisa Bridge & Legoderry...?
  7. I presume that it would be something similar to this - http://www.ocinitrogen.com/Media%20Library/Ammonia%20transport%20-%20Guidance%20for%20transporting%20ammonia%20by%20rail%20(2007)%20-%20Brochure.pdf - some potentially useful pictures in here.
  8. Almost 56' over the buffers - so around 8.8 inches in our world. Give yourself nine inches to allow for couplings.
  9. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/310-Ammonia-Tankers-Drawings
  10. I expected full-size Lego to be available by now - you could adjust your house to suit your needs, even changing it from winter to summer configurations, perhaps. Whatever happened to the future?
  11. Remarkable - really enjoying following this.
  12. Tunnel vs bridge? Why not have both? This tunnel/bridge in Prague always amuses me - the 'underground' runs inside the tube, with the road on top - unless you look closely around you when you get out at the next station, there's no indication that you've actually been up in the sky, not underground...
  13. From what I hear, the problem is more with the management than the underlings.. I know quite a few on the tracks, some of whom used to work with me and are well used to dealing with management that has no idea, but there are limits to even their capacity to get round such things. The only person that I've known who worked in a management capacity for Network Rail came to the job from his previous career as a primary school headmaster.
  14. 40 minutes of depression, if you've got the spare time - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b060zvnd . It's radio, so should be available to all, in whatever location.
  15. One has to wonder how close the barrier got to connecting with the overheads.....?
  16. It's one of those things that gets talked of regularly - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23672538 - etc....
  17. Sandymount crossing obliterated by Careline..!! Just clearing it away, should all be going again shortly....
  18. And most Irish industry is in coastal areas - in the UK, you have places like Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield, even Manchester these days, all without harbour facilities close at hand.
