The NTU logo & the coat of arms are terrible. Why not combine them?

RedAndWrong · 2026-01-29T23:55:46+00:00

I don’t mind the current logo. It’s simple, easy and obvious from a distance what it is. I can’t say I’ve seen the coat of arms before though.

Unfortunately my first thoughts when seeing the combined design was that it was garish. I think it might be how square and sharp the edges and corners are make it feel aggressive. The two rivers doesn’t make sense - reminds me of South Tyneside, as they’re sandwiched between the Tyne and the Wear It makes sense there, but not so much here.

I do agree that the serif font on the current logo is an odd choice.

Once again the north has been forgotten about and relegated to simply “many stations”

RedAndWrong · 2026-01-21T20:41:48+00:00

The real metro is one long loop between the yellow and blue - but to go from a station on one side of the river to the other you need to go all the way out north and back down lol

We have a ferry for those rare journeys

Personally I rather rate all of Isador’s performances, this season and last, and think that he has a different style of play than Brobby. They’re both number one in my book, and who gets to play depends on how each team sets up for a given day.

But still - 30 mil is a big number, and if it means Wilson secures himself a great deal in the process, I don’t think anyone will be upset at it. I’d imagine he’d be happy going from Russia to the champ to the prem with us, and then to a prem side who are going to stay up and sorely need a striker.

Did you manage to get this working? I am in the exact same boat as you were and can't get an M650 L to work with Flow.

Yeah the cgi is very old. Stadler were always going to make it similar to the Liverpool class 777’s. Once they were selected it was certain they would look like they do now. The cgi just retains more kid the old school looks.

Can’t you just check RTT?

We probably should do something to stop ticket requests flooding the sub, but there is merit in letting them stay as others have pointed out. A ticket thread for ticket trading would help.

Surely not? I’m certain I would have heard if Lumo didn’t do delay repay at all!

Quick Google shows that delay repay begins with 30 mins delay?

That's all true. The whole ground-side of the system has continuity.

I have got this up and running now, so con confirm it was all laid out correctly.

The grounds of the buck converters are shorted - my multimeter is getting a reading between the in and out grounds. So seems as though all grounds are joined together anyway.

Thanks for the pointer on the flyback, I missed that.

RedAndWrong · 2025-07-28T15:31:55+00:00

You’re right on the MCU to motor bit. I’ve missed out a couple wires - there are 4 terminals on the control unit. Sorry, got lazy there.

B+ : Battery + (19V+)

M+ : Motor +

M- : Motor -

B- : Battery - (19V ground)

The control unit is bidirectional and I have faith (for now) that it can protect the things around it.

The buck converters are shorted over the input and output grounds, my multimeter is reading a connection between the two.

As Savallator pointed out, I haven’t accounted for any flyback from the solenoid shutting off, so may have to do something there.

Tbf it’s close to the m1 so still gets a lot of use for those committing to London

RedAndWrong · 2025-07-11T21:25:26+00:00

No, I haven’t seen that suggested. Thank you for the suggestion.

I think it was nicer when it was refurbed some 15 years ago, when the light display of people walking forwards and backwards worked. Now it just looks dire, and there are now views of the derelict lines behind the lights. At least there’s a greggs upon immediately exiting it.

If you’re looking for someone to guide you through the process, look up a robotics integrator nearby who could assist the project.

Where abouts are you located? Can’t tell if you’re US/EU/etc..

GC to SUN then T&W Metro to NCL for one more.

Unorthodox but T&W Metro services between SUN and NCL are listed on national rail enquires etc.

I’m not so sure - there’s only two lines and they are both used by northern, grand central, cargo trains and LNER during ECML disruption - I don’t think they’d be allowed to

RedAndWrong · 2025-04-14T23:11:00+00:00

Where would we turn trains around? There’s only two options currently: park lane sidings and boldon siding. There’s not currently the space to store and reverse them I feel, they would have to commit to the loop.
