How many carriages can your nearest station(s) take?

Thanks, but could you convert these measurements to Mk3 carriages please?

Don't you have a calculator that can divide by 23, then?

Yep, I do. A scientific one at that!

Anyone know Frome and Kintbury and Reading West platform lengths?

Afternoon

Truro PLT 2 and 3 take a standard FGW^▸ (First Great Western) HST^▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)).
PLT 1 Falmouth bay about 5 coaches, Perrwanwell
6 or 7 at a sqeeze, Penryn about 7, Penmere 5 again
at a sqeeze, The Dell/Falmouth Town 3 and Falmouth
Docks 2 and definately no more now, after building
that bowling alley and redicalous block of flats;
both should never of been built there.

The term coach means a standard coach i.e a Mark 1,
I'll leave you to work that out in HST and Sprinter
measuremnts!

Regards

Karl.

I have to say Tom, I was thinking about signing up for that "exciting new venture" you're advertising in your signature block laster today. If that's your idea of being polite to other forum members though, then quite frankly I don't think I'll bother.

I'm not going to hide that I can be impolite, however, adelante from what I have read of his posts does state the obvious or just repeats things that have been sent down (ie, ridiculed) previously.

If adelante wants an apology then he can contact me, I'd be more than happy to do so. For that matter, anyone who thinks I've insulted them sufficiently could contact me too. I have a reputation of a very contraversial opinion as can be seen documented elsewhere on this forum and others (just ask devon_metro! ).

Does Gloucester have the longest platform in the UK^▸ (United Kingdom)??

Second Longest, @ 602.69

Longest is Colchester @ around 620

Rubbish.

Gloucester is the longest continuous platform, Colchester doesn't have a continuous platform as it loses a track in this sort of layout... Although I see that Wikipedia says that Colchester is the longest I'd be quite happy to take that up to debate as it most certainly isn't a continuous platform IMHO^▸ ('in my humble opinion') (ie, if trains from the up Sunshine Coast were to cross and stop half way between both platforms there'd be about 2 coaches off platform).

Why would I do that when I have my mobile in my pocket?

You have proven that you can be reasonable, but you seem to choose to be rude. walrusthefirst was thrown off the site for that sort of treatment to others.

adelante, one question, you joined way after walrusthefirst was kicked ... how do you seem to know so much about this particular user?

I just know what he said that got him kicked off.

[swlines]

I see.

Mods, I wish to open a hearing in the court room.... evidence 1, the post made 06:39:06 PM.

What does that mean?

[Btline]

What is going on here?

I have heard rumours about some of these users before, but I would quite like to know some facts.

And people are being rude. I am sure ALL our computers have calculators (my Mac does calculations on Spotlight or on the dashboard!).

WP says that Gloucester is the longest as well!
