A lot of the problems currently being faced by Network Rail and therefore their customers in delivering the current programme of electrification and signalling upgrades is due to the stop start nature of public investment in infrastructure in this country. This is because of the nature of...
I can second the Southampton Arms. Excellent place, very hard to tell yourself it's time to leave, also inexpensive for north London. Tapping the Admiral is another fantastic backstreet pub in Camden and very close indeed to the Camden Town Brewery bar, so much so that it's rude not to visit...

You know the rules, you all know the game
Try to do what's right
And I swear I can't complain
if I die tonight
But I don't think its in the stars
For me to go that way
I'll be here for a long, long time babe
I'm here to stay
I was born to rock'n'roll; everything I need
I was born with the...
If you want the gritty run down look, take the Overground out to Hackney Wick and take a wander around the industrial estate and down towards Swan Wharf. Plenty of moodiness around there if you ignore the odd hipster incursion arts centre which has crept in. For example Hepscott Rd...
Speaking of which, his work in Kazakhstan last year may not seem totally reputable or set the best example for tolerance:

Marillion, Brighton Centre 1985 - not very cool but I enjoyed it at the time
I was at that one, also thought it was a great gig. Wasn't that the one where some **** near the front threw a pint of beer over Lemmy. He was not happy to say the least and stopped the gig until the bouncers had...
The MC5 - High Time is a very good final studio album.
This is more difficult than it seems. I was planning to suggest Loaded by the Velvet Underground as being a decent finishing point, but Wiki suggests that they put out something called "Squeeze" in 1973 without Lou Reed, which I've never...
That document is not the current DfT / Highways England major schemes for Chichester, Arundel and Worthing-Lancing. It is a report prepared for West Sussex County Council on what interim improvements for the A27 would be possible to be implemented relatively quickly if major schemes were a long...
No this seems to be about the level of benefits for individual schemes and whether they represent value for money. The DfT feasibility studies are available online - but without any detailed maps or plans - and these showed that Arundel only had medium to low VfM, but Worthing had very high VfM...
Labour now seem to be narrowing down their delay to A27 schemes to just the Arundel Bypass.

This is what the DfT Roads Investment Strategy has to say on A27 East of Lewes:
It is not listed in the "schemes committed" section, although Chichester, Arundel and Worthing-Lancing all are. Chichester is a previous commitment dependent on other - developer - contributions, Arundel is a dual...
