Just go down the hard shoulder on the M6. I do that usually to skip through the traffic. Obviously sometimes the hard shoulder is open as a lane too which doesn't help.

On your car, put a fake name and change the address for the registered keeper and fly through the cameras with your middle finger held high.

Nx employed a good one there

You realise that saying your FMOTL shite to a copper or a magistrate will only give you a one way ticket to porridge if you break the laws, which despite the absolute trash that you will no doubt spell out in your next post, is completely legal and enforceable if compliance with said law is failed to be adhered to.

Unfortunately, although the statement you will make will be clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you therefore apply to the statement inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicate and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such as to cause epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.

Seriously?  I enjoy my job a lot no work with a great team.

No wonder he enjoys his job: 'no work with a great team,' where do I apply?
Don't you start.

Stuharris 6360

Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I was thinking the other day, given the terrible daily overcrowding issues, wasn't it a stupid idea to massively lower the seating capacity by replacing Sprinters with turbostars?  The sprinters would make the journey far more bearable and even allow some fresh air into the carriage. People have collapsed on overcrowded trips I've been on on the way to work.

Have you actually checked the capacity of a class 150 sprinter against a class 170 turbostar before making that statement?

Bob

Well let's look at a two car. Sprinters had 3 +2 seating, no tables and didn't have a massive toilet.

But if you were to have 150s on there now, you'd have to have a massive toilet anyway.
150s are 20m carriages where as 170s are 23m carriages also, and 170s are also designed for comfort and longer distance routes hence the tables.

Yes but tables are absolutely not needed. And massively reduce the seating capacity. And comfort? You must be joking, they're hot sticky and obviously have a shit load more standees due to the lack of seating.  So no, they aren't comfortable.  At all. I'd rather sit on a less luxurious seat than standard in a crammed carriage
