No, I don't have an iota of understanding for Iran either, I think they're all sickening hypocrites. The entire world order is based on "atrocities are bad if they're done by our ideological enemies, but they're fine if it's our people that do them". I just hate to see any kind of argument about...

Can you please quote the post of mine where I suggested that I feel differently?

I never said that was okay. They are all profoundly loathsome. But I didn't realize that, in discussing a particular personage, I needed to append a disclaimer criticizing every other person under the sun who has done the same thing! As I said before, you can oppose all parties in this...

Hasn't worked out for them historically, but I'm sure this will be the exception. I mean, he could have... you know... not said anything at all, since his opinion is a pretty trivial one on the international stage? But just like Starmer, he always has to take every opportunity he can to suck up...

You know you can oppose all 3 parties in this conflict, right? Politics isn't sports. You don't have to side with any of the 3 strung out crackheads fighting each other currently.

Maybe this "columnist" should travel to places like the former Czechoslovakia and see how well Arriva (a subsidiary of DB) is working out for them...

This is probably a long shot, but would anyone here happen to have been on a southbound line 1 train this evening that was a witness to a stampede that occurred onboard? I got on a southbound line 1 train just after 6 - around 6:10 - at TMU station. I had my noise cancelling headphones on (a...

The door movements on the streetcars were the same as on the L5 cars until shortly before COVID, when the door movement was slowed down, in both directions.

All that we see in that picture is an intersection where some wires go straight and some turn. I'm confused, why would you think this couldn't exist for trams and trolleybuses together?

Sorry, what kind of intersection are you talking about here? One where tram wires and trolley wires cross?

I appreciate your belief in your fellow man, but where do you think those politicians come from? They come from the communities they represent and in many cases embody the attitudes of those communities, they didn't drop out of the sky from another planet. And it doesn't take a lot of searching...

The curve is not that long. If speed improvements were implemented on line 6 one curve would hardly set it back any considerable amount.

According to a quick count I did of the CPTDB wiki, they have 402 coaches still listed in the old colours. I don't know if this is a fully accurate number as it does include some of the Series VII coaches (2522-2544, 2600-2661 and 242-250) which are currently undergoing repainting, but it does...

^Respectfully, I disagree. I think the quoted timeframe for intervals in between coaches being refurbished is 20 years (historically, at least, they tend to have followed this interval), and there's still a lot of BiLevels from the last order (2013-14) that haven't run up that timeframe yet. If...
