Re: Possible Non-Runners (?)
Not sure Worcester would be up to a 'transponder or techy' solution as they never seem to have got them to work in the past. I am old enough to remember when they introduced a system called Scoot to link the various traffic lights throughout the city. In theory if you caught your first on green and ...

Re: Redditch Standard Front Page
I'm not close enough to things to know whether he was making a real difference but it sounds from the comments in the press that things were improving. A pity therefore that he's gone with the job unfinished. Of course, it could just be that he's had a better offer from elsewhere but, on the other h...

Re: Smoking Tornado in Worcester this afternoon.

Re: BaMMOT Event day Monday 29 August 2016
My experience of the pre-war fleet was that the manually operated doors were very rarely closed even in the coldest weather. No heaters either in those days so we passengers and crew must have been a much hardier lot. The drivers and conductors were issued with uniform great coats though and a lot o...
