How can I change the hostname of a Windows server using a script?
Doing this on a Linux server is very straightforward (change a couple file entries, and run the
hostname command), but I don't know how, or even if it's possible, to change a hostname on Windows in an automated fashion.
Specifically I'm looking for a way to do this on Windows 2008 R2, but a generic approach would be great, too.
I found this technote for XP, but haven't tried it on a 2k8 machine - is it still valid?
The entire context is to be able to change a server's name post-deployment from a VMware template without using a Custom Specification.

Punk Hero
I love this to the core. It was not easy beyond hope and but still challenging enough. This is definitely way better than the other music games out there. The songs are definitely addictive. Along with the storyline, the progress the players can make along the way, and the interesting characters, this is definitely an awesome music game that stands out from the rest in terms of quality.
However, you would have seen this a lot of times, but the lag is really a huge problem. I tried it at the lowest quality, switched off the concert lights and turned off the animation. The lag is still prevailant. Even the offline version has this problem.
Other than that problem (which is, unfortunately, a big one), this game is, in my opinion, a way better substitute for those who are going through withdrawal syndromes from the music games at the arcade.
At some point, you must realize that your computer isn't good, it's a big game, can't do much about that, the flash profiler says my code takes only 1% of the total processing so that's fine, rendering is the bottleneck so I'm working on a new version with some graphic optimizations and other fixes. Hopefully that will help, otherwise you'll just need a better computer. Lots of people have no lag at all so...there's a certain threshold to be crossed.

Awesome, just awesome
Hello Evil-Dog.
I have not logged into NG for about two and a half years, but when I saw that you were releasing this game I was like: "Oh man I have to play this!"
I have been playing POM1 off and on for years, always as delighted to hear: "Welcome to the Punk-O-Matic, Biatch"
When I read that you were going to include bass in POM2 I was so goddamn excited.
When I played POM2 I was overwhelmed.
To conclude this humble review.
Evil-Dog, I salute you.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Just like the first Punk-o-matic but...
It's better than the first one but its not that we can always wait for the long loading forever. Good job though.

some tips
to the guy below me Poggy07, i don't know if we can believe you, if you had done a 488 note streak you would at least have the 100 and 250 note streak medals which you DON'T
for you again but also for everyone else, some tips
- are you squeezing both of your hands into a small space? you CAN change the keyboard configuration, for example you can set ERT for your left hand and BNM for your right hand which i find useful for songs in easy and normal mode. you can do this before starting a song with the option "setup keys" between "leave" and "accept"
- you are making as little as $300 in 3 hours? then you are doing something wrong. to improve this:
- NEVER play a concert if you are not sure you'll get a 'good' grade or better. you might just end up losing fans
- stick to playing the same song at concerts until you can get an 'awesome' grade on every single try, this will give you more fans and a stage item
- (optional) when you master a song to the 'awesome' grade on easy switch to normal and do the same (load the song and go in practice if you are not sure you'll get a 'good' grade on the first try), when you get it mastered to 'awesome' do the same for insane if you can
- DO NOT play 3 songs per concert. instead play 3 concerts of 1 song each, this will give you 3 times as much money and fans (and the same amount of stage items). so there is no good reason to play a 3 songs concert except for trying to get the 3 perfect songs medal
- it's your song lagging? even if you don't see the circle hit the appropriate key according to the rhythm of the songs, sometimes you'll get it right (at least it's better than letting the note go by with the lag and miss for sure)
to the author, as Poggy07 said, lag issues are the main flaw of this game, you can get 'good' and 'awesome' grades in easy and normal mode, with some luck and using my last tip you might get 500 note streaks and even perfect songs, but for the insane mode having so many more notes the lag is just waaaay too big
great game though, please keep trying to fix the lag issues, good luck!

City Your Morning Dose of Anonymous
posted by July 12 at 9:09 AMon
This morning brought the following I, Anonymous submission to my inbox. The writer draws a direct comparison between not liking pit bulls and racism. You learn something new every day.
For fuck's sake! I have been searching, non-stop, for 2 weeks for an apartment for me and my sweet, well-trained pit bull mix. I'm even willing to pay your fucking ridiculous pet deposits and rent surcharges. I feel very sorry for you and your narrow mind. You are probably the type that operates on propaganda and stereotypes exclusively, aren't you? No doubt your the one who crosses the street when you see me and my dog walking, not knowing my precious pup poses less of a threat to you than your own fucking ignorance. In case you didn't realize, this is one of the most dog-friendly cities in this country and believe it or not, a select few of us are just insane enough to love these breeds and help fight the prejudices that surround them. Open your fucking mind you piece of dog shit! You don't even realize the scale of the problem that you are contributing, I'm sure! Here's an idea, why don't you watch the news, figure out which racial groups are highlighted as especially dangerous and ban them from your fuckin'? shithole! Better yet, why don't you fuck your grandmother? Or just have the decency to give a fuck and think before you act. Fuck off racist asshole!

By the Way, Congress, Even Without the Debt Ceiling Raise, the Economy Is Shriveling on the Vine
Some bad numbers came out today.
More bad news on the economy today. In the second quarter of 2011, the gross domestic product only grew 1.3 percent. We had originally thought the GDP grew 1.7 percent in the first quarter, but a revision reveals that it actually only grew .4 percent — and in fact the updated data all the way back through 2007 shows an even slower recovery than we thought. Consumer spending has been "extraordinarily weak" in recent quarters, according to the Times, increasing this last period by a mere inflation-adjusted .1 percent. Although steep recessions are traditionally followed by steep recoveries, American output is currently growing at about the third the average rate it grew over the past sixty years.
But yes, Congress and the White House, please do continue to risk consumer panic in a theoretical fight over paying bills you already agreed to pay. Now seems like just the time.

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.

16Flintstones-mobile banned from German roads
- Jonathon Ramsey
- Jul 12, 2012

Sebastian Trager of Germany is mad for the Flintstones. So he took a Volkswagen Polo, ripped off everything but the motor, chassis and wheels, and then covered the rolling bits with a replica that he built of Fred Flintstone's car. Other than the Polo underpinnings, about the only thing he changed is using wooden benches in place of the granite slabs from the show car.

We have to admit we're big fans of the Storm Trooper look. Combining white paint with blacked-out trim, the treatment is one you'd typically find performed in the aftermarket. But in this case Volkswagen is offering it direct from the factory. Or so it is to European customers, anyway.
21Volkswagen previews 220-hp Polo WRC Street special ahead of Wörthersee debut

The annual GTI festival at Lake Wörthersee in Austria has exploded over the years into a celebration of all things hot-hatch in the Volkswagen Group – including concept cars and new debuts from Audi, Seat and Skoda – but the event has always been about VWs at heart. And the brand central to the empire isn't about to sit it out.
19Polish team develops own Volkswagen Polo rally car
- Noah Joseph
- Dec 27, 2011

News doesn't travel fast in Poland. In fact, very few things travel all that fast in Poland. Sure, the emergence of Robert Kubica on the Formula One scene has shown well for the Eastern European country, but when he tried his hand at rallying, well... he almost lost it. (His hand, we mean.) So you can imagine our surprise when we caught wind of a Volkswagen Polo rally car being developed in Poland.

We may have to wait a while for Volkswagen to release a Polo R – in fact it may never reach American showrooms at all – but as a stopgap measure VW has released a pair of R-Line packages for its diminutive hatchback that at least make it look the part.

Volkswagen is working hard to make sure it accomplishes its North American assimilation plan. In order to fully realize its ambitious 800,000-unit volume target, the automaker will be required to introduce an even greater variety of vehicles into its existing lineup. Jonathan Browning, CEO of Volkswagen North America, says that he and his team understand this, and a few new VW family members could wind up in U.S. dealer showrooms.

- Noah Joseph
- Apr 15, 2011

Rumors surrounding a prospective motorsports expansion in the Volkswagen Group have been swirling around for years now. One of the largest automakers in the world, VW's factory-supported racing activities are largely limited to Audi and its considerable Le Mans program and Volkswagen's own Dakar efforts, with a handful of lower-level initiatives and non-works entries in other series. We're still expecting a big shake-up, but the first step, according to reports, will see the Volkswagen brand lau

An automobile's interior is just as important as its exterior when the time comes to close the sale. Keenly aware of this, Volkswagen has redone the Brazilian-market Fox and put a special emphasis on evolving the interior from low-rent to high-end. And a clever ad by agency AlmapBBDO puts it front and center.

A Stockport Lib-Dem councillor is standing by his comparison of the proposed Manchester congestion charge with Nazi propaganda.
Manchester Jewish leaders were outraged by the comment by Councillor Kevin Hogg, made in the context of his claim that the city's transport authority was misinforming the public to win support for the plans. "As propaganda, it is nearly as bad as the Nazis in the Second World War," he said.
Manchester City Council chief executive Sir Howard Bernstein found the remark "offensive". Registering his "disgust", former Manchester Jewish Representative Council president Louis Rapaport insisted: "It's ridiculous to compare it to the Nazis."
Stockport Council leader and fellow Lib-Dem Dave Goddard reported "sharp words" with Councillor Hogg, acknowledging: "It's an unfortunate phrase he used."
But speaking to the JC this week, Councillor Hogg was "gobsmacked" at the furore. "It was a general comment on the British psyche about propaganda, and the most recognisable propaganda is the German one. But any offence people have taken I apologise for since it was unintentional."

DOTHAN -- Folks worked diligently on Wednesday afternoon to set up their part of the National Peanut Festival. Whether they were stapling colorful construction paper to their club's booth or scrubbing a ride attraction, the pre-festival festivities were definitely underway for this weekend.

Sounds Like: Taylor Swift, Whitney Houston, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga
Bio: Since arriving in Saint Barths in 2004, Christine Gordon has turned her love for the islands into a whole new dimension of her musical career. Christine has headlined or been a featured artist for the past five Heineken Regattas in neighboring Saint Martin, sharing the stage with Shaggy, the Wail...See Full Bio
"I've always considered myself to be a "Pop/R&B/Neo-ClassicSoul artist," when pushed to define my sound. This has been my favourite year ever, musically speaking! Current radio hits have that 'familiar' feeling...they take us back to the "Good Times" ...they make us all wanna get up and dance!" Christine promises to put together a one of a kind show, while introducing the audience to some of her much-loved musicians and artists from both the Caribbean & California. Her ultimate dance party promises to "Rock us til we Drop". Christine revealed "What makes this time around for me so incredibly different is that I will bring my own backing band, coming from LA to perform with me on the Regatta stage with me for the very first time! My, band, The Oversoul is: Punky Balfour, Cole DiGenova, Greg Karaganis & Josh McClanahan. I'm ultra excited! I'll be joined on stage by some serious "SuperDivas" Myra Washington, Kiki Kyte, LinZee Nicole & St. Martin's own Moana Avenenti."

I figure this problem is easier than just a regular spell checker since the list of U.S cities is small compared to all known English words.
Anyhow, here's the problem: I have text files with full of city names; some of which are spelled correctly and some which aren't.
What kind of algorithm can I use to correct all the misspellings of city names?

Help support your Meetup
AcroYoga is a playful form of partner yoga that also incorporates acrobatics and Thai Massage. While this group is led by David Chapman, a certified Acro Yoga teacher, the "jams" will be informal rather than formal classes where the focus is playful flying, acrobatics, and community building rather than rigid structure. The basics will be provided for newcomers and safety will always be a priority.
Whether you're a seasoned acro yogi, practitioner of yoga, or just like the idea of playing with fun people, come on out. All levels are more than welcome.
Jams are free and most will be held in the park. No need for monetary donations but hugs, big smiles, and offers of friendship are always accepted.

Made with pumpkin, which tasted wierd at first, but turned out to be quite good. I did double the spices, and that was the right decision. Chris liked a lot. DM 2/7/11
Mollie Katzen's recipe uses 4 cups of canned pumpkin instead of the butternut squash - if you are in a hurry. Several reviewer suggested doubling the chile, cumin, and garlic. Others used peas instead of corn. Recipe got 5 stars.
"This delicious casserole has become a tradition at my family's Thanksgiving. And everyone agrees we should make it more often, it's so good, and not hard to make. I've changed this recipe only slightly from the Chilean Squash in the Moosewood Cookbook. You can substitute mashed pumpkin or yams (unsweetened, of course!), but the butternut is best and worth the effort. A tip for easier clean up: I just mash the squash right in the casserole and mix everything there. I wipe off the upper sides wih a clean, damp dish towel and pop it in the oven. I've been tempted to add a cup or two of cooked rice or other grain to make it even more hardy, but I haven't tried that yet... Note: cook time does not include time for baking the squash; that can be done ahead and refrigerated."

Every game has its rules and in the world of football there are rules to be observed. The people who ensure that all rules are observed usually come dressed in black and white and these are the referees. It is usually assumed that this men and women do not do much but actually without them they game we all love would be chaotic.
It's the one with the whistle – the referee – who takes charge of a match, with the help of two assistant referees. In professional matches, a fourth official is also involved.
The referee enforces the laws of the game, awarding free-kicks if there is any foul play and keeping a check on the time. The ref can also postpone, stop, suspend or call off a match if there are weather or crowd problems.
The assistant referee helps out with decisions such as throw-ins and offsides and sometimes will have a better view of incidents than the referee.
The fourth official is based on the touchline, assisting with substitutions and keeping a check on the managers.

Everybody praises the players in the field but rarely do they get to appreciate the work done by the referees. This however does not mean that there are no good referees out there. The football game has some of the best trained referees. They have been to big games and also hold big titles which many fans do not know simply because they are restricted to whistles and cards.
1.Pierluigi Collina
Italian former football referee Pierluigi Collina served his terms as a FIFA listed referee from 1995 to 2005. He was named FIFA's "Best Referee of the Year" a record six consecutive times and is widely regarded as the best referee of international football history. Collina is a current member of the UEFA Referees Committee and also serving his duty as a Chief of the Football Federation of Ukraine since July 5, 2010. He persuaded his referee's course way back in 1977 and was nicknamed Kojak for his distinctive bald look because of alopecia. After he officiated in 43 Series A matches, he was inducted into FIFA's Referees List in 1995. Some of the best matches that he officiated was 2002 FIFA World Cup Final between Brazil and Germany, and 1999 UEFA Champions League Final between Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
2.Markus Merk
German former football referee Markus Merk is widely considered as the best referee of his time and is the record holder for officiating highest numbers of Bundesliga matches. He was named FIFA's "Best Referee of the Year" three times and DFB German Referee of the Year a record six times. He debuted as the youngest Bundesliga referee ever in 1988 at the age of just 25. He also officiated football matches at 1992 Barcelona Olympics. He served his terms as a FIFA listed referee starting from 1993 World Cup qualifier until his retirement after the match of Bayern München and Hertha BSC Berlin on the last day of the Bundesliga 2008 season. He is currently the main referee commentator of the Turkish channel Lig TV covering Turkish Super League. Besides his refereeing career, he is also a professional dentist.

While some referees are remembered for great workmanship on the field others are haunted by the ghosts of games past. They made the wrong move or gave the wrong card. These are referees who go down history as having made some of the greatest mistakes on the job.
Graham Poll (Croatia v Australia, 2006)
Poor Graham Poll. A highly-respected official who had refereed two games at the 2006 World Cup flawlessly, he was firmly in line to be given the job for the final. But, inexplicably, in the final group match between Croatia and Australia he failed to send off Croatian left back Josip Šimunić despite booking him twice. Šimunić stayed on the field, only finally departing when a post-final whistle third booking for dissent finally earned him a deserved red. Poll retired at the end of the next season following all the mocking; it's not quite as easy as 1-2-3 then.
Karl-Josef Assenmacher (Holland v England, 1993)
The man who famously cost 'Turnip Head' Graham Taylor his job. With the score at 0-0, David Platt was bearing down on goal when Dutch defender Ronald Koeman unceremoniously hauled him down on the edge of the area. The immediate dispute was whether it was a free-kick or penalty, but the red card for Koeman was never in doubt – apart from, that is, to Assenmacher who immediately, bafflingly, issued a yellow. As is often the way with these things, Koeman ended up scoring the first goal – a delightful chip over David Seamon, Holland won 2-0, England failed to qualify for USA '94 and Taylor departed. Did he not like that.

Nate Davis and Sheets played ok. Nothing more, they weren't spectacular.
Nate missed on a few screens. He had that great throw for the TD.
I think today we saw the "real" Davis and that is a player who is going to be brought along.

Tonight's game showed how far behind the 49ers are behind the league's elite. SD's backups were easily dominating the 49ers starters. This offense is downright abysmal. Jimmy Raye and Shaun Hill are Jim Hosteler and Trent Dilfer all over again. Doesn't matter how much you want to run the ball. In every game you are going to have situations where you need to complete a forward pass. The best this team can do with Hill throwing it and Raye calling the plays is a screen or swing pass. Another year of rebuilding and here we are heading into another disastrous season.
Originally posted by MadDog49er:
I'm going to reserve judgment on Shaun Hill until the regular season begins. We all know that he is a mediocre to below average preseason QB. However, he has played well in back to back seasons, and his QB rating was 12th in the NFL last season, at 87.5.
If he does not play well in the regular season, then we have a real story. However, until then, regardless of how he performed in a series of meaningless preseason games, I am not going to be concerned.

what's this ?don't buy new VW buy a used VW instead?????
"just commenting to gather points i love free drinks"
The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time
in south africa, this car is still manufactured by vw... so it isnt used... it's just an afordable car, with somekind of wierd retro concept...
A little better but they models look like CK models. What about the people that would actually buy the used VW.
I don't think you want to see those people stuffed into their childhood clothing ;-) Personally, I don't mind looking at that model in her baby tee. Just commenting.

The real people could have made it really funny or really gross. The safe bet was go with pretty people. I think that's my issue with it. It could have been pushed a lot further.
gotta love how they use cool to turn a negative (recession) into a fashion statement
how do like them apples
I love the memories but I won't be caught dead wearing my old He-Man shirt :P.
I love the idea it turns a negative into a fun positive.
Did the creatives do more on this same concept?
I enjoyed these. Instead of riding the negative CEO bailout/recession/economic bandwagon like other brands (i.e. Dominos,) or avoiding it completely through humor (BK, Quiznos, etc,) this series absorbs and redistributes the bad vibes into positive, humorous ones. gg sirs.

Audibility of High Q-Factor All-Pass Components in Head-Related Transfer Functions
Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) can be decomposed into minimum phase, linear phase and all-pass components. It is known that low Q-factor all-pass sections in HRTFs are audible as lateral shifts when the interaural group delay at low frequencies is above 30 microseconds. The goal of our investigation is to test the audibility of high Q-factor all-pass components in HRTFs and the perceptual consequences of removing them. A three-alternative forced choice experiment has been conducted. Results suggest that high Q-factor all-pass sections are audible when presented alone, but inaudible when presented with their minimum phase HRTF counterpart. It is concluded that high Q-factor all-pass sections can be discarded in HRTFs used for binaural synthesis.

March 21, 2016, by Geraldine C - West Yorkshire, UK - United Kingdom
This is the 2nd of these wigs that I bought . The first one was good so I bought this for a friend. It arrived quickly, well packaged and looks like the photo. Great value for money and perfect for a fancy dress.
March 17, 2016, by Geraldine C - West Yorkshire, UK - United Kingdom
The wig was only a few pounds but the quality was much better than expected. After shaking it and brushing it looked like the photo. it arrived very quickly and was well packaged. I bought it for fancy dress and was so impressed I bought another for a friend.
November 23, 2015, by Catrina H - Wiltshire, UK - United Kingdom
Problem I found is it didn't really look like the picture and wouldn't go into the same shape as that. It was very large I had to stitch it to fit.
October 6, 2015, by Cathy M - West Lothian, UK - United Kingdom
It looked pretty cool in the photo, like siouxie, but in reality it looked more like a wavey mullet when it arrived ! It did the job though and was reasonable in terms of price.
May 12, 2015, by Beverly W - Warwickshire, UK - United Kingdom
Did wonder if this would look like it did on the model, well it did! The fringe wasn't quite the same but overall it was good value for money, and thicker than I thought it would be.

TORONTO (AP) -- Lawmakers in the Canadian province of Ontario have passed an anti-bullying law requiring schools, including those run by the Roman Catholic church, to let students form gay-straight alliances.
Catholics, whose schools receive government funding, had objected that they shouldn't be forced to accept student clubs that go against church teachings.
But Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said, "Discrimination against children on the basis of whatever, including their sexual orientation, is no longer acceptable." He added that he believes those "are values that transcend any one faith."
After it became law Tuesday, Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto issued a statement saying Catholics have "serious concerns," but will continue to "foster safe and welcoming" schools in accordance with their faith.

The efficacy of topical nasal furosemide treatment has been shown in the protection of nasal polyp recurrence. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of oral steroid, as standard preoperative treatment, and inhaled furosemide, as alternative treatment, for 7 days preoperatively in terms of subjective improvement of nasal symptoms, polyp size reduction, inflammation in the polyp tissue, and intraoperative blood loss. A group of 40 patients with nasal polyposis entered the study and they were randomly allocated to 7-day preoperative treatment with either oral methylprednisolon (1 mg/kg/day) or topical furosemide by inhalation (6.6 mmol/l solution). Subjective scores of rhinosinusitis symptoms, polyp scores at endoscopy, and biopsy of the most superficial polyp were taken at inclusion. All procedures were repeated on day 7. Intraoperative blood loss was estimated (scores 0–10) by the surgeon at the operation. Eosinophils, mastocytes, and oedema were quantified by histomorphometry. Subjective symptoms and endoscopy scores did not differ significantly between the groups after the treatment although improvement of olfaction was insignificantly better in the steroid group. Steroid treatment significantly reduced eosinophil count, with no effect on mastocytes and oedema. Furosemide treatment did not affect inflammatory cells count significantly, but it has significantly reduced oedema in previously unoperated patients. No difference in intraoperative bleeding was observed between the groups.

By Kathy Eastwood, U.S. Military Academy Public AffairsAugust 23, 2012
WEST POINT, N.Y. (Aug. 23, 2012) -- One of the 1,171 new cadets formally accepted into the Corps of Cadets Aug. 18 during Acceptance Day was Class of 2016 Cadet Justin Dalme, from 4th Regiment's Company B.
Acceptance Day was just a little different for Dalme as he received the Soldier's Medal at Cullum Hall, surrounded by his company and his family.
According to the Soldier's Medal citation, the former Army specialist was driving from an eye appointment and noticed several cars parked alongside the highway on Dec. 2, 2011. Dalme pulled over to evaluate the situation. After talking with bystanders, he realized that an elderly woman was trapped in a car rapidly filling with water.
Fully clothed and with no regard to his safety, Dalme jumped into the frigid water and swam to the vehicle. He was able to open the door and pull the unresponsive woman to safety. Once he handed her off to the people on the bank, he again dove into the water to check for other victims. There was none. If Dalme had not acted swiftly, the woman would not have survived the crash.
West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. David Huntoon Jr, pinned the Soldier's Medal on Dalme's lapel.
"I think this is the first time a superintendent of West Point ever presented a Soldier's Medal to a cadet, with the exception of President Roosevelt, who came to West Point to present a Medal of Honor to Cadet Calvin Titus," Huntoon said. "It's no surprise that a Soldier of the 82nd Airborne would act and intervene when no one else did. Just think of the number of people just watching, but it takes a Soldier or a police officer to step in and make a difference."
Dalme took it all in stride and doesn't think he did anything special.
"I felt (I had an) understanding with (what happened)," he said. "It's not always the act that you do, but the condition. You never know when it is going to make a difference."
Dalme came to West Point through the Soldier's Admission Program. He enlisted in 2009 as a Radio Communications Security Repairman, attended basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., Advanced Individual Training at Fort Gordon, Ga., and attended airborne school en route to his first duty station. He was assigned to the 1st Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C.


text: Hypothesis Testing is required for situations in which we do not have information about the true value of a parameter. In such cases, we make hypotheses regarding the true value of the parameter. These hypotheses are then tested using the data that is available about the behaviour of the parameter. If some hypothesis is seen to be consistent with the available data within a certain confidence interval, then that hypothesis is accepted and we then have an approximate measure of the true value of the parameter within certain limits.

Serpell Report
The Serpell Report was produced by a committee chaired by Sir David Serpell, a retired senior civil servant. It was commissioned by the government of Margaret Thatcher to examine the state and long-term prospects of Great Britain's railway system. There were two main parts to the report. The first (and lengthier) part described in detail at the state of British Rail's finances in 1982. The second part looked at various options for a future (1992) rail network, and made comparisons between each option and the continuing the existing network.
In many ways, 1982 represented the nadir of Britain's railways. That year saw the lowest number of passenger journeys of the second half of the 20th century, the lowest level of passenger-miles, and the lowest (real) level of passenger revenue since 1968.[1] Although these figures were partly the result of the 1982 strike (over rostering arrangements), rail passenger numbers had been in steady decline since 1957. (Only 1978–1980 saw consecutive years of passenger growth). In 1982 terms, revenues had decreased steadily from £2,300 million in 1970 to £1,800 million in 1982, while costs had risen from £2,500 million to £2,700 million.[2] Consequently, BR's deficit had increased by a factor of 4.5.
For reference, in 1982, journeys totalling 18,300 million passenger-miles were made; the network comprised 10,370 route miles; and BR's passenger deficit was £933 million. The various options for the network considered in Part 2 were as follows:
- Option A was a "commercial" network, in which the railways as a whole would make a profit. This scenario would have seen the route mileage reduced by 84%, and annual passenger-miles reduced by 56%. The only main lines left would have been London-Bristol/Cardiff, London-Birmingham-Liverpool/Manchester-Glasgow/Edinburgh, and London-Leeds/Newcastle. Some major commuter lines in the southeast would have been retained; all other lines would have disappeared completely. The passenger sector would still make a small loss, but this would be offset by profits from the freight sector.
- Option B was similar to Option A, with allowances for the cost of congestion caused by removing rail links. If the removal of a line in Option A would cause a greater cost to the country in terms of increased road congestion than would be saved in removing the line, then the line was retained under Option B. This scenario would have seen the route mileage reduced by 78%, and annual passenger-miles reduced by 45%. The network would have been as per Option A, but with the addition of most of the London commuter lines, plus the London-Westbury section of the Great Western Main Line.
- Option C was actually a set of three options, each designed to reduce the railways annual deficit according to a given target:
- Option C1 would have kept the existing network more or less entirely, only removing the most loss making services. While the network would have been virtually unchanged (at 99% of existing length), many smaller stations would have closed. One lengthy removal would have been the Westbury-Weymouth line. Passenger-miles would have been reduced by about 4%.
- Option C2 was designed to reduce the annual deficit to £700 million. Loss making services would have been cut (using a harsher test than Option C1). There would have been some more network cuts, such as the Trowbridge-Melksham-Chippenham line, the branches north of Norwich, the north Devon line from Exeter towards Barnstaple, the line between Swansea and Stokesay, and the mid-Wales branch west of Shrewsbury. However, most of the savings would have come from service cuts and station closures. This scenario would have seen the route mileage reduced by 17%, and annual passenger-miles reduced by 9%.
- Option C3 was designed to reduce the annual deficit to £500 million. Major cuts would have included all lines in Wales apart from the valley lines north of Cardiff; all lines in Devon and Cornwall other than the main line link to Exeter; the Salisbury-Exeter line; all lines in East Anglia other than the line to Norwich; all rural lines in Scotland; the trans-Pennine line; and most local lines east of the East Coast Main Line. This scenario would have seen the route mileage reduced by 39%, and annual passenger-miles reduced by 15%.
- Option D was the only option not designed to meet a financial criterion. Instead, connections would have been made to retain services to communities with population greater than 25,000. This came out very similar to Option C2, with only 11 extra communities served.
The report also briefly considered an Option H – a "high investment" option. This looked at the effects of new rolling stock on maintenance costs, and concluded that the return would be far too small.
Otherwise, the report did not seriously examine the effects of improving rail services.[3]
The report was portrayed by rail supporters as a "second Beeching", was not taken up by the government, and did not result in any network changes. Passenger numbers picked up through the mid and late eighties, reaching a 20-year high in 1988, and have continued to grow since.
