https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/24324973.sussex-police-shut-berwick-level-crossing-car-chase/ Sussex Police say that they were chasing a car at around 11.30am when the car struck the level crossing barrier at Berwick. The car made off without stopping and evaded police. Officers are still...

Going back to the late 90s (god, how have the years flown by?) I used to live near Brixton. Interesting place at the time (so many stories that sound insane - drug dealers flashing their wares in Electric Avenue, the man walking down the street with an axe and bleeding heavily from a head...

I don't think anyone can say. Honestly, you'll just have to wait 2 weeks.

Purely on a procedural level, if the CCTV caught you, your employer will get a notice of intended prosecution from the BTP, and then name you as the driver. I believe this has to happen in the next 14 days, otherwise you'll be ok. If/when you get a notice, I'd suggest posting on a forum such...

I can't answer the wider questions, but I can safely say that over the past three years I have been let through the barriers at Blackfriars after showing an any permitted or Thameslink only London Bridge ticket without issue. Not sure if this will still apply after Jan 2nd, and pretty sure a...

I can't comment on the details of ticket routing, I'll leave that to the experts on here. But as a fellow commuter from Hove, I've been using a Thameslink-only Brighton - London season for the past week and had no issues - and saved a lot of money. Brighton - London is absolutely valid via...

All the roads are being closed too, unfortunately. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/15566975.Plea_to_stay_away_for_bonfire_night_event/

Slightly confused at difference between the above two quotes? I believe they will. I know this was a controversial move last year - and seems heavy-handed - but realistically it's the police who have instructed it and complaints should be addressed to the Sussex PCC commissioner; as with...

And it's very sad that the amount of people attending with no connection to the town have made this so difficult for people like yourself. I'm just not sure what you expect to happen?

As someone local (ish - never lived in Lewes, but been to the fireworks and travelled through it a lot on Bonfire Night) I support this. The event has got so popular and Lewes as a medieval town with narrow streets just can't cope with the crowds. Last time I went I was stuck 6-deep on a bridge...

Agree with both the above suggestions. Seaford is a lovely town, but do check the times the Martello is open. Lewes - Brighton has amazing scenery as you cut through the south downs and then over the viaduct over Brighton. Not really a branch line I admit, though! The Uckfield line is...

I have no inside information, but there seemed to be far fewer trains parked up when I went past today, if that helps.

I was on an ICE from Brussels earlier this week. The person behind me tried to use an any Belgian train ticket, and the guard was adamant they were not valid and sold them a single to Liege.

Speaking as someone with a disabled partner, it believe it is usually locked for two reasons - firstly, because disabled people may have bladder issues and so cannot afford to wait around while someone who is perfectly able to use a normal loo uses the disabled toilet. Secondly, and...
