This could be investing to see what comes from it: New challenge launched to store clean energy for longer and protect households from price spikes - GOV.UK https://share.google/efIWMZLsc4VDH58uM

In 2024 there were less than 110,000 asylum seekers, I recon a single restaurant could sell more unlimited drinks refills (about 300 per day) than the number of "unlimited" illegal immigrants.

Indeed should be at least 80%, anything less than 70% should be embarrassing.

Also confirmed by another candidate:

"Apparently" he was told not to attend the count by the police, so he's already avoiding Clacton on Sea.

There's a few things which might be an option: - have the bike out of sight - have the bike inside (which may be a folding bike) - make the bike look like it's not a nice bike - put several locks on the bike, as whilst one may only take 30 seconds, having 4 makes that 2 minutes and so makes...

Or in other words, it would likely be much cheaper and less disruptive to: - fix St Pancras (maybe even a substantial rebuild) - create a travelator route between Euston and St Pancras Taking a longer view, it would probably be worth using the money to part fund Crossrail 2.

The problem with big numbers like 200,000 is that given that it's a subset of a much bigger number (62 million, that being the population of England and Wales). To put that into a more easy to understand context. For a small town with 10,000 people in it then in the last 10 years 33 people...

Typically, it's assumed that a connection on a half hourly service would average at 15 minutes. That's because, the likelihood is that not all connections would take 30 minutes, in the same way it's unreasonable to assume they would all only take 2 minutes. Anyway, unless a journey is short...

Although there's evidence that typically those who walk or cycle can be more economically helpful to a high street than those who drive. Very few people understand the total cost that they pay for car ownership in a year with the average being around £3,600 a year. Even at half that rate...

Indeed, although for my post it would have made it a longer and it's in an thresd where do nothing is assumed to have been rejected. Although as an overview, the class 22x's would need replacing in about 7 years beyond the likely timeline, so do nothing may well be doing this just about 7...

I think if anyone within Reform did (not that I'm suggesting anything) then it's likely that Reform would lose a lot of support from the "I'm wanting life like it was in the 50's" or "family values" voting former Tories (anyone else remember his that worked out due the Tories?). Although given...

Indeed, however, if SWR GBR aren't willing to run such services then there's a train why OAO exist and will continue to do so. Especially, if there's the potential of usable paths into London.

Yes, sorry about that. If anyone knows anyone high up at XC I'm happy for them to use it to present it to the DfT (although they may well want to change some of the numbers, like the growth targets).

The thing with a zonal charge (i.e. within built up areas) is that it does a few things: - ANPR coverage is limited - taking a back road would likely incur higher charges than a per mile trunk road - rural areas would pay less - those it's tracking cars (such could be driven by more tab one...
