There's no problem with converting a DVT as it is existing kit and adding seats and the like won't require a complete new safety case or crash testing. I'm not arguing with you here Mark (by any means), but how is that. When the origianl DVTs were certified were they cleared for passenger use as we...

The NRM should use the HST cab they had/have for something like that. Do they still have that. Didn't see it earlier in the year but then I didn't get around most of the site :(. They used to have it infront of a video screen which took you on an HST journey at some ridiculous speed. I used to think...

in sudden deceleration it is safer to be thrown back into your seat than forward out of it, something the RAF has known about for 50 years - any passenger planes chartered to the RAF for troop movements have the seats turned round to face the back, so that in an emergency landing you don't have to ...

Oh, and Busways was the old Tyne and Wear PTE, and before that Newcastle and Sunderland Corporation buses, which were owned by local councils, which the government forced the PTE to sell off, same as in Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham and Glasgow. Deregulation (open competition) came in in...

When were the bus companies privatised? I'd be interested to know whether Busways (in Newcastle, Sunderland, and South Shields) were part of the NBC. When I was little (not that long ago - about 10 years) I'm sure the concessionary fare was 10p. It did increase gradually, but then Stagecoach bought ...

Very pretty .

the tops are a bit small for the ones on both sides at the back (.)(.)

Nope... just about the right size I'd of said .

I blame my own stupid geographical position for my perceptions though.

That is nice. I have a IC125 in Inter-City blue erupting from a tunnel (think it's on the western region). It was a poster that I'd bought from the NRM, York.
Having said that, it's currently Tina Arena in the buff .

Hauliers will probably just absord the costs incurred into their pricing schemes. What ever the costs are likely to be, it's still highly unlikely that the cost savings (should there be any) of moving loads by rail would outstrip the time and and inconvenience of road/rail transfers. Should there be...
