Probably basically commercial displays but I wonder if it’s possible to buy TVs aimed for guest rooms in hotels?

You were supposed to bring order to the railway not cause confusion and delay

Given Awdry was quite keen on accuracy to the real world engines (see the falling out with one of the first artists) I’m actually surprised there isn’t more consistency with the liveries. The Culdee Fell Railway has all engines with the same purple livery, and I think from memory the steam trains on the Skarloey Railway are red, which is more accurate to real life as generally each railway would have its own livery.

I think earlier on when there were fewer engines it was less of a problem as they all had fairly distinct shapes being based on different real engine classes Garden and pre rebuild Henry probably being the least distinct.

How many of those brands actually have factories in the UK or are even owned by a UK company anymore.

MG are just a brand under the Chinese company SAIC and as far as I can tell don’t have a UK factory, some quick googling suggests they are considering one last year but not sure how far that has got. And the majority of their models are EV.

It was serious, in my head both were just terms for left wing further left than central left but not like extremist left wing.

I’m intrigued by what they class as a long distance train, are they counting domestic only services? I wonder if the size of the country plays into it as well as most of the top ones in that list are relatively small, so presumably less long distance routes, and they are presumably shorter routes as well so maybe less chances for delays.
