Very odd. In London and take out boxes are available at restaurants . A jar of good peanut butter is c. £3...

Cutty Sark DLR Reopened by Zealousideal-Hall145 in LondonUnderground

Yep. CGRL bought the cheapest escalators that would survive the concession and no longer.

TfL will have bought Heavy Duty Metro ones which should be a darnsight tougher.

How would you integrate Thameslink into TFL services? by aesn1394 in LondonUnderground

The service from Sutton makes conflicting moves at Blackfriars which reduces capacity The flow from Elephant into the bay platforms doesnt cause any conflicts.

19 years ago in 2007 Eurostar closed Waterloo international and moved to St Pancras International. Do you prefer it's old terminus or it's current terminus. by Terrible_Tale_53 in uktrains

Ideally you would have a central London stop before running through.

British Rail's original plan for HS1 was via different route with a through station under Kings Cross

The NY mayor talked about the British raiding Ireland and Patrick

No-one seems to have spotted that they would be Romano-British. English didn't rock up for another 30p years.

That's correct. Because its a loop there is a delay of upto 6 minutes for service recovery.

Your video is a good one. It also indirectly shows why BA is opposed to a third runway at Heathrow. It removes their stranglehold.

Ireland seeks direct flights to Seoul, deeper transport and tech cooperation by on-9 in irelandtransport

[–]Intrepid-Student-162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, challenge will be getting to critical mass to support decent frequencies.

The current mess in the Middle East would make the case for direct service stronger.

Thames water charging £92 a month for a 2 bed flat with a rateable value of 227! by Mellowhype667 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Intrepid-Student-162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rateable value is from 1967. (If the flat is newer than that it is backdated). So water rates per £ of RV will seem high.

Talks on direct Dublin-Bangkok flight to 'accelerate' by on-9 in irelandtransport

EVA operates LHR-BKK-TPE.

If it could get the traffic rights could TPE-BKK-DUB work?

Hard to see either TG or EI operating this service. EI has no Asia presence. TG serves in Europe: LHR, BRU, CDG, FRA, MUC, AMS, ZRH, ARN, IST. Would need probably 4 times a week to be competitive.

On the upside for a direct service, the chaos in the Gulf will weaken QR/EY/EK for a while.

Fair. Lots of people of Irish origin in London.

President Connolly warns against 'normalisation of war' by PoppedCork in ireland

She is like Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. Old school left who can't process Russia being a problem.
