    It seems Network Rail are in a bit of a mess

    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...

    **** Official middle-aged man's Craft Beer thread ****

    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...

    Moody London locations?

    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...

    Tony Blair's new job. European council of Tolerance. Worthwhile cause.

    Speaking of which, his work in Kazakhstan last year may not seem totally reputable or set the best example for tolerance: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/aug/24/tony-blair-advice-kazakh-president-protesters...

    Your first ever concert?

    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 best and worst last studio albums

    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...

    In 2015 Labour suggested they'd scrap A27 upgrades if elected

    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...

    In 2015 Labour suggested they'd scrap A27 upgrades if elected

    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...

    In 2015 Labour suggested they'd scrap A27 upgrades if elected

    Labour now seem to be narrowing down their delay to A27 schemes to just the Arundel Bypass. http://www.worthingherald.co.uk/news/local/breaking-news-labour-deny-intention-to-delay-a27-improvements-1-6686630 “Labour intends to go ahead with all the works that have been designated for the A27...

    The Wealden Line.

    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...
