Have any of the complainers actually bothered to email or write to Anglo Welsh to point out the problems they are causing, or are they just moaning on an internet forum?

Where did the CaRT people aim the light?

Exactly!! The current lines are full of passenger trains and especially on the main north south lines. It is getting almost impossible to fit anything else to fit into the current timetable. Moving a large percentage of the current "fast" passenger services onto HS2 will free up space both for more freight and more "stoppers" to feed into HS2. Even my own line has got to the stage that there is almost no timetable space to fit anything else into the daytime time table, so more freight now is moved at night, meaning there is less time to do maintenance. Result is that lines have to be closed Saturday nights and Sundays.

Generally they still have a roof aerial but use the rear window heater as well. On some Estates they might use an aerial in the rear side window glass. (typically VAG moels)

When I started as a signalman 6 years ago, excluding the steels and coalies, we saw no more than 3 container trains a week. Now we can see 2 a day!! Most of them are Tesco's.

Really? I can get to Shrewsbury quicker and cheaper on the train than I can by bus or even car!! I can even get to London for £67 return, and that is without an discount for holding a Railcard.

Well said George!!

If you look up the town centre regeneration manager that's me Next time we're down I'll give you a shout.

Patrick, Please keep up the good work. Aside. Was in Frome on Sunday as my son and family have moved there.

Greenie to Paul for his post above, plus a virtual one for Tree as moi has run out today.

I read this diatribe and it strikes me that actually you could be the bully. The "ignore" feature of this forum is there for a purpose; moi suggest you use it.

What a load of utter tosh! It may be true about SOME snobs in Kent, but I suspect that most people actually couldn't give toss and have no views.

Nigel, you remind me of Neil Kinnock; use 9 words when 3 would really do.

You really are starting to come over as a Troll, now.

Such a shame, but good luck Ally for the future.

In the first 5 years we lived here I didn't pay for a haircut, just used to take the equivalent value of dog food with me. Lots of bartering goes on around here.

But didn't Lillie Jnr recently state he was already in discussions?

Do we have proof of any of those presumptions from the very limited info we have so far been given?
