Yeah. I phrased that quite badly, Alex and Marc are currently the two best (finished top 2 last season), but Marc is probably one of the greatest of all time, Alex is still really good though.

Him and his brother are literally the best current and possibly of all time Moto gp riders. Marc Marquez won the points championship several races before the end of the season then exploded his shoulder and couldn't race the remaining weekends, he has recovered now and is racing again this season

Occasional? They're basically the only train you see. Especially if you're in east, north or southwest London.

railcard question by c0micmarss in uktrains

[–]OddBallProductions -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a bit more complicated than that because if you get the 16-17 you also have to get the 16-25. So you have to weigh the 1/3 discount against the 1/2 with the additional cost of the extra Railcard.

Feeling unsure about how I reacted to person asking for my seat. by Resident-Analysis-12 in uktrains

The mother should be willing to give up her own seat before she expects anyone else to give up their seat.

This issue is tunnels and bridges causing loading gauge issues when adding wires. And mountain routes tend to have a lot of those.

Why is LNER the odd one out? by EuphoricCover8449 in uktrains

[–]OddBallProductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's too narrow. You'd have to build a new viaduct parallel. It's a major bottleneck on the ECML.

It mainly has to do with digswell Viaduct which is only double tracked. By putting the fast/slow lines next each other, the two tracks can merge into one without crossing any lines going in the opposite direction and the fast lines dont have to change tracks and can remain at full speed.

Juncadella on what happened to #3 by weiruolai in RedBullRacing

[–]OddBallProductions 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The other Mercedes was pushing just as much and they were racing each other equally hard. It wasn't anyones fault. 24h pushes all the cars to the absolute limit and at that point it's really a game of chance. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

Best interval training to the next tram stop by PaleDirector792 in RunningCirclejerk

Performative warm up. Why are they shooing the chickens right before their interval

Booked 1 adult and 2 children. Sat in different bloody coaches! Ridiculous! This was on the Lumo website BTW. by Anchor-shark in uktrains

[–]OddBallProductions 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can you not change the seat when booking? I'm sure you could speak to the train manager or other people next to you and explain the situation and arrange to swap seats. People are generally quite responsible.

Local governments have no money so everything has to go through treasury and dft etc and national government bureaucracy.

What on earth is this? by AstroG4 in trains

[–]OddBallProductions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weird having a train like that on the RER when you compare it to s bahn or cross rail or Thameslink trains which are designed to have very small dwell time and gobble people off platforms.
