In the old days, the trains passed in Ballasalla, and there was time to jump off and use the toilet. The station master used to hold the train until everyone was back on board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe you could just drop the window and piss onto the passing hedgerow - track-side fire prevention as a by-product. Who says that men can't multi-task. Of course, women would not be involved - they don't drink pints of beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Flint Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 This has been mooted in the last 20 years. Part of the upgrade to the port Erin line was justified on faster trains. They were talking of some sort of diesel hybrid iirc. denmark I think have little light steam trains with super insulated boilers fired on light oil. At steam in under 10 minutes. That would work. needs a major interchange at Dandaraland outside Ballasalla and could be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
