HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING? :)
How does the movement of freight traffic work in this country? (UK) Is it like passenger movement, where there are freight TOCs that a haulage firm or other business needs to book time on? Or do haulage firms charter trains and have to negotiate with Network Rail for a time to move their poo poo?

My god you have a Leeds United cat :3:

St. Pancras is managed by Network Rail, but so is Paddington which charges for toilets. So maybe it's a traffic management thing, IE Paddington is so busy they want to discourage people from peeing in there?

For a brief moment I thought that they were actually going to be nationalised. I don't know why I thought that was plausible!

I assume Form 1 is effectively getting your P45?

I was on a train once when the staff at the cafe were talking to each other about how the train just "passed at danger" and it scared the willies out of me as I assumed this was a terribly dangerous thing. I assume now that this was passing with permission.

Edit: What's a PMB?

I don't get that graph. Why is the "Eco-Boat" the least fuel-efficient thing on there?

Edit: Ok, it's "Energy consumption". So I guess it's solar powered or some such.

Editagain: No, biodiesel. So...the 'eco boat' was really inefficient with its biodiesel?

Edit 3: It's "per passenger". Mystery solved.
