I guess the correct use of commas was considered too advanced a topic for
your basic ESL course?

"A verb should not be separated from its object "

"Now that we can identify the verb and the object in the sentence, we know not
to put a comma between them."

Suck it up, accept you've made an idiot of yourself and move on.

Its kind of sad really watching you grasping at any comeback no matter
how trivial. Though it has a certain amusement factor too. Keep it up, I
need a laugh in the mornings


Yup, another para, another incorrect apostrophe. At least your illiteracy
is consistent.


And? You think I give a **** about a typo in a usenet post to a ****wit like
you? I've got better things to do than proof read it or cut and paste it into
a spell checker. But given you're a man a leisure I can see how doing so
would fill up what would otherwise be a boring lonely day.

"These next-generation AVENTRA trains will feature an innovative design
with optimised performance, including reduced weight, energy consumption,
maintenance costs and high reliability, providing substantial benefits to
both TfL and its passengers traveling on key London Overground routes,
including the newly acquired West Anglia Inner Metro Service."


I don't really care what the manufacturers blurb says. The 710s will require
their own depot, maintenance team, can't interoperate with the 378s, will
require seperate crews (unless they train them on both), can't rescue each
other if stalled and can be used as replacements for the other.

I can't manage your illiterate drivel, but I can just imagine your
scathing, condesceding posts if TfL had instead ordered more of the
heavier, less efficient, higher maintenance and less reliable obsolete
trains.


There's pros and cons to everything.

But at least it's interesting that you've suddenly become the biggest fan
of the 378s. I realise you're losing your memory, but perhaps you can ask
your carer to help find your older posts that attacked the slow 378s, and
suggested TfL should have bought S stock trains for LO.


I made the mistake of thinking the trains were slow. Turned out it was LOs
hopeless timetable so the drivers weren't bothering. But yes, they could have
used a 3rd rail version of the S Stock. Why they didn't given the seating
layout is pretty much the same as the S7 and they serve the same function is
anyones guess. But here we are with history repeating itself again and people
wonder why TfL is always short of cash in its farebox.
