I would expect any professional body to take this quite seriously. As already pointed out the OP seems to find the fact they found and used somebody else’s card quite amusing and I would expect the NMC will want to satisfy itself that if they find some property belonging to a vulnerable patient...

I can’t see any possibility of you getting your dad into trouble. You were the one who was stopped and if they go through the account, send you a list of journeys booked with a railcard and you accept you made those journeys they will either ask you to pay a settlement or threaten to prosecute...

Effectively 3 months. It did the SVR GBRf gala in early September and then straight to Longport and it wasn't released into traffic until 24 October.

It doesn't say any route. It says any permitted route and doubling back is usually not permitted. When putting Birmingham New Street - Smethwick Rolfe Street in the National Rail journey planner it shows 2 tickets are required for the route you took. One from Birmingham - Galton Bridge and one...

So that land wasn't valuable then otherwise it wouldn't be a park. It would have stuff built on it.

If anything Rotherham has declined since then. It certainly isn't a boom town and some brownfield site in an industrial area is not going to be valuable. If land prices had rocketed they would have sold up years ago and moved the operation to somewhere cheaper, thereby keeping the company going...

I find that unlikely. It will have a value but won't be what most would consider valuable. Why would you have a big scrap yard on valuable land in the first place?

That simply isn’t true. When traveling on some very busy trains around Manchester before Christmas during the great flu panic (amongst politicians and in the media anyway) I was thinking just how little Covid has apparently changed people’s behaviour. Nobody looked particularly distressed at...

Having had a brief read of that it appears his case was he hadn’t done what he was accused of, until he was advised the tribunal couldn’t rule in his favour if that was the case, and then he had done what he was accused of, but he couldn’t remember, but he could remember the sausage rolls in the...

How can the 18:03 have run late 3 hours before it is due to depart?

Where do the people expressing shock at the low levels of passengers think passengers would be going over the last 2 days. 1st Jan was a Thursday so almost everybody would have taken the Friday off work as well meaning few would be in a rush to get home after the Christmas / New Year period. I...

The arguments are: 1. All staff will be paid, train leasing costs will be due and all lines are open whether there are diversions or not and so the cost of putting on a rail service won't be that much more than putting on coaches. 2. The railway is supposed to operate a rail service. Just...

In what way would it have been better to terminate it at Clitheroe? Most passengers travel for a reason and that reason is to get to their destination. If it had terminated at Clitheroe the only option would have been to return to Blackburn, then over to Leeds. Instead of arriving at Carlisle at...

There is nowhere for them to stay overnight at Ribblehead, except 1 pub. It is a wonderful place to visit but not at 21:30 with no method of leaving until the following day.

In reality who is going to benefit from that change? There are about 6 houses in a 1 mile radius of Ribblehead station and if you don't live in one of them what possible reason would you have for going there at half past 9 at night with no way out until the following day?
