Which is better?
With the continuing problems being experienced by the U.S. Boeing 787-7/8 Dream liner it could be coming to its own demise, when European Airbus A350 roles off the production lines?
The Boeing has seen so many delays and a battery fire problem, that one is suprized that they have bothered to press on with it. Where as the Airbus will probably take the market.
It would seem that Boeing has placed to much on the 787, while it relies on its sales of the 737 to back up. The other failure I think is its lack to develop the 747 to challenge the Airbus A380. I suppose we will have to waite and see?

London Transport.
The Route Master Replacement.
They have called it the Boris bus, after the Mayor of Greater London Boris Johnson. Some have called it 'the toy town bus, apart from other things. London Transport did replace 'Old Faithful' with the Mercedez bendy bus, but over time it has had teething problems in traffic and taking corners.
Every city, wither in the UK or in any country needs a iconic symbol for their respective transport networks. We had the famous red bus, the route master, now we may have just a longer version of it.
The glass stairwell was designed in such a way as any assaults on passengers by others would be seen from the outside. This part of the bus was always a problematic area.

Plying the Oceans.
Bulk Carriers.
There are many kinds of boats and ships that ply the seas around the world, because this remains a very viable form of trade. Man has used the sea, lakes, rivers and even oceans from ancient times and he has built ever bigger ships.
Today the Super Tanker, container ship and bulk carriers are the biggest. Here in Swansea I see various vessels come and go from Port Talbot Tata Steel deep water dock. It is a real joy for me to film them and have them seen by the world on You Tube at 121jaykay.
These ships will remain the massive ore carriers that they are, because humans need metals, cars and vehicles to be made.
