  1. There has been subsidence 'adjacent to' the Cork/Cobh line. Replacement bus service tomorrow..
  2. I wonder if they would be cheaper stored at the Busaras?
  3. Has he only offered them to a Mr I K Brunel?
  4. Well, I've just hassled Leo - let's see what happens......
  5. http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0125/364417-train-carriages/
  6. That has been the case since it was first suggested.
  7. Pete and Dud's Derek and Clive. That's still top-notch stuff.
  8. I often post this on my other forum, when things get a bit pointlessly heated..
  9. On the radio, Round the Horne - the pictures were better than the telly. On the telly, The Likely Lads, it was virtually a documentary... [video=youtube;sqoNs1aL-CI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqoNs1aL-CI
  10. Getting Leo down to open it..?
  11. Indeed. I recall a radio programme about this over here many years ago. The scale of what happens is, as you say, not always widely reported - there was one driver over here who was almost into double figures... The person that you're most at risk from is yourself.
  12. There are disruptions to service due to a fatality on the line at Lisburn earlier. That's all I know, but we can all read between the lines, probably. People rarely consider the poor driver in these unfortunate circumstances. Let's all hope that he gets over this.
  13. Some people put real effort in...
  14. Might be time to put the lid on it..
  15. It would be ideal for a terminal layout.

    New IÉ logo...

    I still haven't had an answer to whether or not they are going to apply these 'targets' to the side of the Enterprise...
  17. I might have stood somewhere other than between the rails in that visibility...
  18. Excellent tweet doing the rounds at the moment - "Can't we give Lance Armstrong a break? I tried riding a bike once on drugs. If anything it was a lot harder. I was in a hedge within seconds"....
  19. Reading between the lines is one of my special skills, I like to think - and I agree completely with everything that you have chosen not to say on this subject.
  20. This excellent series, first broadcast in 1988, is on iPlayer now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p011v8dj/The_Train_Now_Departing_The_Long_Drag/ . It's available for the next ten years, so there's time for those you who are ethnically-cleansed from using iPlayer to find a way round it... It's largely about closures and subsequent preservation. It's on YouTube, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMk_h6ZqK7U
  21. Serbian cops might have enough of a sense of humour to laugh at it...

    The future?

    How long before we actually have individual traction motors on each axle? And then a tiny little diesel - forget the speaker.....
  23. There's at least one member of this site that won't be dwarfed by anybody...
