No, but it would help you not look like a total prat.

When I start wearing an anorak and hanging around at the end of platforms
carrying a thermos flask and notebook I might give a ****. Until then...

Feel free to point out where I said anything of the sort.

Your clearly admitted ignorance of the most basic details of the

Do any of the posters pouncing with glee upon Spud's admission
that he is not an expert on railway geography and track layout in
North London genuinely believe this forum should be a narrow,
exclusive club for railway experts?

An Internet forum is at its best when it has a wide variety of
members with differing levels of knowledge and a broad range
of questions. The proper purpose of an Internet forum is to provide
and exchange information and opinions.

So not knowing about part of the new thameslink route means I don't know
anything at all? Oh how handwaving convenient for your limp riposte.

You've also previously demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about
the Thameslink route from Blackfriars to London Bridge in the thread
you started entitled 'Blackfriars - London Bridge:

"When was there last a service that went through both these stations?
I noticed theres a 3 track chord linking the line from blackfriars to
the charing X line but the tracks were rusty and there were some
road-rail maintenance machines sitting on it. Is it just for
occasional out of service stock movements now?"

And? Like I've said, I wasn't interested in the thameslink project. How does
that translate to "everything"?

It's a reasonable assumption to make about any line you don't use
regularly.

What odd logical fallacies you come up with sometimes.

What's wrong with lacking knowledge? You too don't know everything.

That's certainly true: there are many, many things I don't know. But I
don't go round pouring scorn on things I know little or nothing about, as
Spud/Boltar does.

Such as? In case you hadn't noticed that example you cited is a simple
question.
