After spending a lot of my time reading and re-reading this thread all I see is a thread about trains! Is that how you want it? Then go find a site where you can talk about nothing else but trains.
All sense has gone from this one and caused mainly by a few people who have lost the plot.
I really do have better things to do with my time than to watch this thread go downhill because some choose head bashing rather than staying on topic and being nice.
My view now is that many of you need a holiday. Well, I am going to give you one. Two regular sensible posters have each suggested two ways to control those you don't like. Your choice is the ignore list the other is to close the thread - that is my choice.
Take a holiday, do whatever you want, this thread is now closed. A new one will be opened when the protagonists have had sufficient time to reflect.
Of course, if anyone starts a new SOUTHEND it will be closed.
