Are we really asking why their spending is so high when I've been harping on about the increased costs in this sector for what feels like over a year now??? 🙈 🤣 Wait until you see in black and white, in their public accounts next year, just how much their wage bill has risen between 2022 and...

On the topic of rail services specifically, one of the big positives of privatisation (at least potentially, it may or may not be linked to privatisation itself) is that usage of the railways has increased massively... In relation to these increases in passenger numbers, services have...

British Rail was far from perfect, but privatisation of UK railways has proven to be a failure... Not all bad, but certainly a failure overall, leading to us having some of the poorest service, at the most expensive prices, anywhere in the world... Maybe there could have been a better model for...

Railways are being nationalised again, with all but one regional operator back in public hands by 2031... Prices won't go down, so don't get too excited there, but hopefully, in the long run, prices will no longer rise at levels way beyond inflation. More importantly, hopefully service levels...

It'd be tempting from here... If only the direct trains were a more regular thing... For comparison, it's currently showing a 1 hour 40 minute drive. (Even changing at Kettering is 1:15 on the train, so still a tempting prospect.)

Came to post that video... Didn't need to bother.. I agree, their videos are incredible, it was their video that forced the project to go public earlier than planned, such is the quality, and their videos on Epic were incredible too.

And everyone lived!!! Shock!!! You guys make fun of OSHA... You should try living / doing business in the the UK / EU!!!! That being said, I do think letting you walk down a lift hill unaided is a little negligent. Somebody WILL fall on an evac one day, especially given the emotional state...

🫨 I don't think that's typical here in the UK. I think you'd be harnessed where height is a factor. (Which to be fair, could be argued it isn't in the Mt Olympus video) But as a minimum you'd be accompanied, even where height isn't a factor. This I'm sure of from experience, but also, see...

For me, a good night ride is a ride that's transformed simply by the darkness and late time of day (fully warmed up etc.) Whilst things like Taron, Zadra, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi etc are all great to ride at night, (and to be clear, they are great fun to ride at night,) they're all just so...

Apparently cyclops derailed... Dunno why I used the term apparently, it's pretty conclusive, but you know... Allegedly and all that...

An entirely more realistic way forward.... Full story... https://www.walesoncraic.com/p/oakwood-set-to-reopen-as-world-of-greggs?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExTUg0eVk1dHBSTzJHVVpqSwEeMwMRZXeHXP072FBMMe-ux27nzEc6bZL1UIhvk3C816YxTsi09SRG9oRfRQ8_aem_jRg9FEj5Obt-cGN35dPW4w 🤣...

Jack's kindly summed up the boat load of documents for those that can't be bothered to read them... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7QkH2uIAOo

This is in the transport section of the planning application under 'rail.' I would be very surprised if they added that to their documents on the whim of 'the mayor.' Surely if it's not possible, basing your whole transport strategy off a plan that includes this, and presenting that to the...

They're going after Red Force's 112m (367ft) European record.... Who at PAW upset them?

I thought this was impossible.... Direct Disney to Universal train 'could' be a thing!!!
