  9. Is everyone going to live and work at either end of HS2 track? Otherwise the commuting to the ends is more wasteful in time and energy than any saving HS2 could make.

  15. Once again the fallacy surfaces that HS2 is simply a connection between London and Birmingham. EVERY city north of Birmingham will also benefit from faster trains using the new line as will EVERY community on the WCML south of Birminham having room on the classic lines for better services as will EVERY motorist on the M1 seeing less HGVs, much freight having been transferred from road onto the classic lines.

  23. I agree - the role played by Medusa is out of all proportion to its small size! Imagine the grandstand view she had while the invasion fleet steamed past and thank goodness that the visibility stayed reasonably clear, otherwise there might have been a different outcome. Another small vessel that played a key role was a midget submarine - an X craft normally manned by a crew of 5 but with a couple more for this event. She acted as a radio beacon in the approach lane to a forward position off the beaches and went across to be ready initially for the planned date of 5th June. When this date was postponed for 24 hours, she submerged and spent the time sitting on the sea bed just off the beaches. Brave men, and we owe them a debt of gratitude which we should never forget.

  38. I doubt there is much air traffic between London and Birmingham, and if I was travelling to Birmingham city centre I would already consider rail ... but not by HS2 because I'd have to make my way into central London (minimum 30 minutes at a cost of nearly £20) to get to a train that will take nearly an hour and cost who knows how much more than a direct train which currently takes slightly over an hour for £35, so it'll take longer and cost more. HS2 will not service any intermediate stations between London and Birmingham so it's pretty much aimed purely at the business traveller and with a capacity in the thousands / day I think it will end up as a massive white elephant. Of course if there was more than just me travelling it becomes increasingly cheaper to travel in the comfort of a car and we wouldn't be subject to missing connections.

  41. One has to be mildly amused, considering Mr Lola went on to post pics of his motorbike (I use the term loosely!) on this thread. But then I do have a sense of humour!

  44. Could be a fun name for a boat. The next time someone shouts “Slow down!” You could reply “I’m on Tickover!”

  47. To charge a 6V battery at say 1 amp, simply put a 6 volt 6 watt filament bulb in series with it - the bulb will pass 1 amp at six volts and slightly more if voltage slightly higher, and the battery will get the same current passing through it, thereby charging it Nick

  48. Crick/Rugby DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) which is 9 miles from Daventry but 1 mile from Crick and 5 from Rugby) has approximately 500 outgoing HGV, 200 x 7.5 or 3.5t trucks and numerous courier style transits every day exiting its depots. Delivering are approx 2-300 trucks a day - in addition to the many containers delivered via rail. Allied to this are the thousands of cars and buses to transport the workers to site for 2 or 3 shifts a day(24 hours) depending on how ruthless the agencies are. There are many more(Gailey, Stafford and many more planned), one more enormous one to come is based South of Blisworth which will wreck the countryside). The country is overpopulated, overmanaged and struggling to breathe. He doesn't know what he is saying most of the time.

  49. You need to add the Lark and the Wissey, tributaries of the Ely Ouse. And part of the relief channel from Denver towards Kings Lynn is now navigable.
