One of the reasons I don't want to bring a child into this world. Just finished watching the planets on iplayer and just makes you realise how insignificant we are as a race and just how vulnerable the planet is to powerful external forces.

It's now a total waste of time appointing a new manager. We won't be here to see it happen. Wednesday are like the mammals during the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Mr. Tom Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 19 hours ago, Tamworthowl said: Stressing at 27deg C is not a cost saving exercise (well everything is to some extent) but it's a balance. Stressing at higher temps creates problems at lower ambient temperatures. So we stress at a sufficiently high temp to minimise tracking buckling without increasing too much the risk of fracture under cold winter temps. Coincidentally, the following was published a few days ago. Warning: contains railway geeky stuff. Interesting nevertheless. https://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/analysis-the-heat-is-on-and-stress-management-is-the-key On modern track, we don't have problems at 27 deg. 27 is more a "neutral point". Issues arise at higher temps. Trouble is that exposed track in direct sunlight heats up considerably above ambient temperature. On crappy track issues arise at lower temps. Isn’t that what I said? Just messing, interesting article, cheers - and yeah, DANGEROUSLY geeky. (Love it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlBiSeeinThi Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 On 25/07/2019 at 15:55, Mr. Tom said: Makes you wonder how much of our country’s infrastructure just isn’t ready to cope with a baked planet - we could actually end up in a worse position than many currently poorer nations in that regard. Don't worry. The environmental commitment at a cost of one trillion pounds to reduce CO2 by 2035 or whatever it was by T May before she skuttled out of office will make us as poor as most 3rd world nation's anyway, for the one day a year the mercury tops 35 degrees.
