أعجب 35B بمشاركة Breva' في موضوع GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
I see it as a function room, eg bar during galas, or for hire / ceremonies. Our commercial people need to see it when it's finished, and then hopefully that will stimulate ideas. Previously there was a weed covered hole where it now stands, so...

أعجب 35B بمشاركة Jamessquared' في موضوع West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
To me it looks like a pragmatic decision faced with difficult choices. I suspect firstly that, mid week, there is a fair amount of coach traffic. So if you have (say) two coaches for your morning train and two for the afternoon, then agreeing...

أعجب 35B بمشاركة ross' في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
BMR is doing quite a lot right, they are welcoming and friendly. It is a picturesque run, of about the right duration, with steam on the front making plenty of noise. They run just 3 trains a day, one loco in steam, and keep you captive at...

And I'd accept most of that analysis, with the caveat that consumers were very happy when the structure of the market combined with regulation held their prices down - and that the political reaction you describe is in part a response to the...

I disagree with the framing of the question as a pure either/or, while agreeing that abstraction from chalk aquifers needs to be reduced and, ideally, eliminated. This summer, there needs to be a trade-off - which may well include restrictions...

Fair enough - I've just seen too many argument that X will change Y, when under inspection "X" is a proxy for a whole alphabet soup of other things that it's assumed will magically sort themselves if X happens.

The evidence of my lifetime, suggests that's not necessarily the case - both at the time of privatisation, and in how the industry has been regulated. And, even so, it's a "should" rather than a "would" - my question is not about the value...

Just quoting this - and it's my normal reaction to any proposal of structural change to fix a problem. What difference will it make, why, and how? That's not a value judgment, but to ask whether nationalisation (or even privatisation) will...

I'm not defending the water companies but, as a recent government commissioned report found, their failures are also a result of political and regulatory choices that have prioritised price. If the problems are going to be cured, honesty about...

I don't disagree - I'm no fisherman, but have family links with the Itchen Valley and recognise the importance of chalk streams. However, there are short and long term issues. What you describe are long term issues, which long pre-date water...

Hopefully, though I notice that Southern Water are applying for something more than a hosepipe ban in at least part of their area, because the supply is based on abstraction from the River Test. From how it's been presented, I don't think that...
