Well done, the site is playing very nicely with Safari and IE5.2! Layout is great, VIEW COACHES dropdown still functioning fine over here.
Still, IE5.2 doesn't successfully display the ADDITIONS/CORRECTIONS example, it behaves same as before.
And since I can check it here at work, it behaves the same in IE5.1 on Mac OS9. I also took a look at it in Netscape 4.7 (for kicks), and everything looks good. I especially appreciate your accessible-friendly way of handling the "VIEW COACHES" link; since my netscape didn't understand the js, it followed the link to the coaches.php page instead. Very nicely done.
The navigation is, however, at the end of the HTML document, making it hard to find. I'd suggest perhaps a couple of anchored links at the top of each page pointing to the various page elements (i.e. "skip to navigation", "skip to content", etc.).

I've just amended the CSS again for this site, thanks to the feedback from John and Barry, and I wondered whether they, or anyone else could take another quick look at the areas specified in the original message...?
It seems that adding little more than a 'position:absolute' declaration to the problem containers cured it (at least, as far as I can tell with Browsercam)
Thanks,
Stuart

The two areas that need checking are the 'VIEW COACHES' open/close menu toggle link, and, the 'see example' 'pop-up' help on 'Information' label in the small form at the bottom of the coach pages (the Jimmy Hogan/William Townley/Jack Reynolds pages). I've taken a couple of screen grabs of what they're SUPPOSED to look like as a comparison - see:

The site url is <http://elbombin.stuarthomfray.co.uk/> - if you feel it would be better to contact me directly, please use [EMAIL PROTECTED], and if you feel the need to give anything on there a 'good kicking' in public - maybe the use of an inline style on the toggle link (Opera seems to demand it in order to work correctly) or the use of a clearing <div> (IE needs one, so using the excellent Easy Clearing float at P.I.E. seemed a bit pointless) - I'm more than happy to take it!
