Um northern powerhouse?.... no?
Can't see it coming off seeing as defence is costing 40 billion.

Wrong thread?

They look great

Bet there's even less space to put a thimble

They are quite spacy, they are like tube trains but a wider aisle in the middle, seats are a bit hard though :laugh:

They must have been waiting for Parmy to leave to open officially :pipe:

They knew he'd have his wet jeans all over the seats!

No Winnersh and Winnersh Triangle??

Bringing Indians and blacks together. There’s going to be some cute interracial babies.

Why doesn't the sign just say Elizabeth like most of the others, would look much better

Michael Portillo, aged 68 , now
says the Elizabeth Line Train to Reading
on this line has no Toilet.

He said Thameslink Trains have toilets

Hopefully it's as enjoyable as the new lunar east coast line.

Pretty impressive.

its been an enormous engineering achievement, i had forgotten half the obstacles they encountered along the way
