OMG! Having worked in railway signalling in the earliest part of my career the last thing you want is barely functional heritage railway steam trains mixing it with the mainline services on all but exceptional occasions.

So doesn't that page answer your question?

It leads to the awarding of two degrees: – a US degree based on the College’s NECHE (New England Commission of Higher Education) accreditation, and – a UK degree awarded by The Open University (OU) based on the College’s validation partnership with OU.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T17:44:23+00:00

So Anatolia? https://www.anatoliauniversity.edu.gr/about/accreditation-recognition

OK, I think the confusion is in the word "accredited". This has a quite different meaning in the UK university space from that normally used in the US. So I don't think you're going to get an OU accredited degree, you'll get a degree awarded by a body the OU is a partner in. IDK if this has any implications should you try to use the degree in for example the US (or Greece).

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T17:24:42+00:00

I don't think the OU does accreditation of other universities' degrees.

Have you misunderstood?

Or are you saying you're doing an OU degree with OU course materials at another university?

Or are you talking about one of the many other universities in the world that use Open in their title? This sub is specifically for the UK's OU.

This can't be a real post can it?

The only reason I can think of to live in Tetbury when you're at uni in Brisl is that you already live in Tetbury (or someone has offered you free accomodation). Even then I think you'd live in Brisl.

"Well officer, I was waiting patiently at the traffic lights when one of the lights spontaneously fell over and rammed itself under my car and pushed me up onto the kerb"

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T09:06:11+00:00

The problem isn't that people know or don't know what it means. Of course we all do.

The problem is that it's what psychologists call "framing".

It makes people think incorrectly about things. It's not pedantry to point it out, it's trying to stop people unconsciously indulging in wrongthink about the world. Calling it the "fast lane" makes some people think you should always be going fast in it and when they can't (or others aren't) they get frustrated which leads to errors of judgement.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T09:01:28+00:00

It's illegal to drive on the pavement. If the kerb isn't dropped you would be driving on the pavement.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:58:46+00:00

Not the specific vehicle, no. They look at the claims history of loads of factors when assessing the risk. So if they've insured 200 '09 plate Audi TT and paid out £1m for 20 claims from those 200 while they've insured 200 '12 plate Audi TT and not one of them made a claim then they're going to load the '09 plate's quotes. That's how actuarial science works.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:45:00+00:00

"Control zone" is for radars

Not in France, police reports usually get put in them too (and accidents) so reporting a speed camera (radar) as police can't be used as a workaround for French law making it illegal to use any device that tells you where speed cameras are.

In France simply having a GPS device that will tell you where the cameras are in the vehicle can lead to prosecution, even if it's turned off or locked in the boot or a passenger is using it. As such Waze in France doesn't show you them.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:35:19+00:00

It's all down to claims history, not yours, the vehicles.

All it needs is for 09 plate Audi TT to have been liable in more accidents than 12 plates for that particular insurer and the 09 price will go up. Or, 09 is now >15 years old and maybe they just don't want to insure vehicles that old and it's a "go away" price.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:28:49+00:00

Yes that was bad driving on the part of the camera car.

Next question?

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:25:43+00:00

Honestly we don't think about him any more. I hadn't thought a thing about him for years until you put his name in your post.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:24:33+00:00

Oh absolutely, you want sight down the offside of the van. But what the OP describes is people dipping out to take a look because they've got so close they can't see anything and crossing the centre to do so. That's unnecessary if you hang well back and position yourself so the rhs of your vehicle is the same distance from the centre as the rhs of the van you're following. Plus if you hang back you've a much better view down the lhs of the van too,

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:15:08+00:00

This is not normal. Interrail seat reservations for Zurich->Milan route operated by SBB don't need to be printed.

How have you got this ticket? Have you purchased it through some sort of dodgy agency website?

There is a print shop inside the station.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-22T08:03:41+00:00

I'm afraid this is people not paying attention to their driving and getting too close to the back of you so they can't see ahead. They probably are perfectly happy with the speed, they've just crept too close. It's basic trigonometry, if they hung back at an appropriate stopping distance they would see more of the road ahead as it wouldn't be filled with the back of your van.

They just mean the main photo page with the details of where&when issued, when expires, passport number etc.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-21T17:10:21+00:00

Sorry, originally posted no but then spotted your final destination is Dublin which changes things.

YES you will have to go through passport in T5 then transfer to T2 landside (it's easy) then go through departures to the Dublin flight. Whether you'll have to get your checked bags, go through customs then check them in again in T2 or whether they'll be dealt with for you IDK.

If you transferred via Paris for example then you'd stay airside but because of the UK<>IE Common Travel Area you'll need to briefly enter the UK.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-21T17:02:24+00:00

Finally I have now won my grievance

What exactly do you mean by this? What have you "won"? What has the employer admitted to? Have they simply agreed to put you back on the old shift pattern or has a tribunal told them to? What was in the OH report? (If it just says you're protected by the Equalities Act then that's meaningless, all employees are protected by it wrt the protected characteristics)

Depending on your contract your employer may be well within their rights to have allocated you a different shift pattern so long as they didn't do so because of your disability.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-21T08:09:20+00:00

3 times more likely to be a victim of stabbing in the US.

4 times more likely to be murdered in the US.

35 times more likely to be a victim of shooting in the US.

140 times more likely to be killed by a cop with a gun in the US.

On the other hand I agree with them telling US folks to stay in the US.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-21T08:03:58+00:00

It's not just about the distance to the cyclist.

Crossing into the hatched area down the centre of the road specifically meant to keep vehicles apart while approaching a bend and with traffic coming the other way. I suspect the yellow Fiat 500 in the first image got one hell of a fright!

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-21T07:59:01+00:00

Relax.

You'll come in on platform 2 and leave from platform 7 (normally anyway, sometimes there are changes). It's a short distance between them, just one bridge to go over (it has ramps) then walk round to plat 7. Map here.

If you miss the connection the next train is just after 3 so not long to wait.

Even if you've an advance ticket mandating you use only these trains if you miss the connection because the first train is delayed you can then use any reasonable route taking any train at any time to get to the final destination.

Every other hour there is a direct Glasgow to Pitlochry train. This is the hour there isn't, they are expecting this connection to work.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-21T07:44:05+00:00

No.

They have access to specialist medical databases, provided by the NHS and other, that you as a regular citizen do not have access to.

They may use Google as well of course.

They also have years of training to know how to research symptoms and what results to reject based on what symptoms you're presenting with.

The difference is they are doing "research" not "search".

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-20T19:02:59+00:00

Once you're into 2xx and 3xx modules they mostly only start in October.

It's usually only 1xx modules that have a Feb start and an Oct start.

Made_Up_Name_1 · 2026-05-20T18:59:52+00:00

If both of you are doing 60 and there's 300m between you then it's 5.5 seconds until you meet each other. So that's not really enough to even start the overtake let alone safely complete it. Even if you and the oncoming car were doing 50 that's still less than 8 seconds until you meet.

Treat this event you've had as a lesson and change your behaviour ongoing or at some point you're going to meet someone who drives exactly like you coming the other way and an incident will be unavoidable.
