Paris Proposed “Prolongement” Proceeds<\/span><\/p>\n … and to the right.<\/p>\n So what’s going on at the station? A picture on-line reveals all.<\/p>\n Therefore, coming up tomorrow, fbb will be taking a longer look at RER Line E and the current extension works.<\/p><\/div>\n fbb is never sure that cute mascots do much for the bottom line of a railway company’s finances, but above we have another one. The blue-nosed canine is called “Whistle”.<\/p>\n Sadly, the Northern Trains web site is so keen to sell us a ticker that Whistle’s adorable visage remains conspicuously hidden. Maybe it’s for the best; it is not a good idea to frighten young children or those of nervous canine disposition.<\/p><\/div>\n Well, back in fbb’s Great Britain Bus Timetable Day the route from Liverpool to St Helens …<\/p>\n … definitely wasn’t route “Zero”.<\/p>\n Of course, it is yet another example of the planet-saving zero emissions myth.<\/p>\n A reminder that, at the moment, the production of hydrogen by the bus-full produces more pollution that a diesel engine.<\/p><\/div>\n Timetables are provided with links to the operating company web sites where the presentation is inconsistent and often simply poor. So fbb set about seeing how they could be improved.<\/p><\/div>\n … apparently nice and simple. But here is the same route inbound …<\/p>\n Here is the route map in Oadby c\/o the comprehensive (and very good) Leicester Buses route map …<\/p>\n … and here is exactly the same area on the “main city bus routes” map on the Leicester City Council<\/span> web site.<\/p>\n So, until his laptop returns from the clinic, fbb will leave his readers to wonder what it all means.<\/p><\/div>\n The average passenger numbers Monday to Friday for this free city centre circular during the first week or so was 400. But, on one day recently, the two-bus service (plus an extra at peak) carried 800!<\/p>\n Do frogs eat chocolate peanuts?<\/p><\/div>\n
