The Internet retail gaint Amazon are researching into the idea of using Drones for its same day delivery service and are now carrying out experiments at Cambridgeshire to see if its workable. I'm no expert on Drones but wouldn't Amazon need a Aviation license to fly Drones though British air space? What Iv seen of Drones they look quite flimsy and would only be able to carry light items also would they be able to cope with bad weather its fair to say no one wants Drones or there packages falling from the sky hurting people or even killing them? To be truthful I'm not convinced it's a great idea from a safety point of view.

TBH I'm not happy about one of those things flying anywhere near me.
-
No, they use them to bomb people in Sand Land, the're as big as a plane, bigger than some planes.
Anyway...............................................
How would they deliver your parcel? Would you have to try and catch it as they flew past? What if you wer'nt in when it came? :)) :)) :)) :))

Orrr - they could open up all the closed railways and you could stop at each station and hand them out ::)

Thats just a daft idea, especially now they've just bought all those drones. :o ::) Trust a woman to come up with something like that! :)) :))

You only say that because you don't want to have to stop at all the stations Thomas - :P

No........................No...........it's not that at all, :-[ I was just saying it was a waste of money buying all those drones if then you want me to deliver the ruddy things. :)) :))
-
Do we seriously think that Drones will be delivering goods though, it's not viable is it.
Plus I can't see me climbing a tree to get the parachute and goods out which I have ordered.
Just as a by the way E D did I post a picture on here of the sorting carriage in a Royal Mail Train from years back.
I took it in York railway museum when we went a few weeks ago, and intended posting it ?

Make it easy on yourself Pam, get the damn tree chopped down then your parcel will land on the floor..................................simples! :)) :)) :))
I didn't see the picture you mentioned about the TPO coach so you must not have POSTED, get it, POSTED it! :)) :)) :)) Perhaps you missed the train! :)) :)) :))

Sadly I was not there, :( but a fella I work with is heavily involved with the steam loco you saw in the clip :)
-
I would love to do a trip on the steam train - wondering if anyone on here has?
-
I've been on a Pullman Carriage pulled by the Flying Scotsman. It was only about 500yds and then back again though.
Carnforth railway museum, many many years ago.
-
I did Settle Carlisle behind a steam train 2-3 years ago. It was an ambition of the father on laws so we took them

What are your thoughts on it JR - was it worth the money as I know it can be pricey
-
We drove to Crewe. Got on a diesel train to Preston. Steam train was put on there. Took us over the viaduct and into Carlisle. Hour or so stop in Carlisle then back down to Crewe via a different route. 3 options for fare. Full catering (lunch and dinner) high tea or just the train fare. We took the high tea option think it was £120 each. It was a good trip but unfortunately it was a very cold winters day so the views were spoilt by fog and also the windows steaming up because the train was so hot. Next time the company e mail me I will send you the details
-
Cheers JR.
I have looked at the journey's in the past, don't some through Chesterfield?
I know they can be pricey as well, shame about the weather though as the scenery is the big part of the journey to me.
