Whilst I believe you think more people have cottoned to being able to get the 17 & Y6 between Gloucester Road and The Haymarket from your experience of that 17 you got on the other day, my observations are that still very very few people are using these services between these two areas. I...

This is what The i newspaper published online back on 21st September. I can't post the full article as it's behind a paywall. But the headline and the sub heading is enough to get the jist of what the article babbles on about...

Only got charged a £1 cancellation fee. Only worked out at £9.49 extra to rebook again with two seats booked for myself. So not too bad after all that.

Update to my previous posting. I thought FlixBus journeys are non-refundable. But luckily I discovered this morning, that if you cancel you then get given a credit voucher code for the value of your booking to redeem against a future booking. So I cancelled my booking(due to later being...

Update to that. This morning I received emails from FlixBus informing me my bookings have changed. "What's this all about then?" I thought. I load up the revised PDF tickets, and at first couldn't see any difference. I was expecting the departure and arrival times may have changed slightly...

Putin now planning to blow up major dam in Ukraine causing "historical disaster" flooding thousands of people. Someone needs to hurry up and take out this sick mad evil b*****d.

So just 44 days as Prime Minister! That's definitely the shortest serving British Prime Minister ever, and most probably the shortest serving Prime Minister or President in the whole world EVER! What an embarassment for her! But it's her fault. She put herself forward to be electable as a...

Sorry it was the 17 I meant to say. Not to worry. Thanks for the report. I just managed to miss the 17 this evening, but got the late running(about 14 minutes) Y6. I was the only one who got on at The Haymarket. No other people getting on until Zetland Road Junction(just one passenger)...

Out of interest where did you get that Y6 to Callum? I'm quite liking these Y6 and 17's serving Gloucester Road now. It's a great way to get a comfortable journey, guaranteed window seat and two seats to yourself at peak times! I aim to get any of these two services at 1641(or just after) on...

It was a complete farce wasn't it! Just 8 and a half minutes it lasted! Including just 4 minutes of her answering journalists questions! Of which she was basically rabitting the same rubbish to each question! She looked very nervous throughout! And you can tell when she's near enough...

Ah I had forgot about those! Thanks for the reminder. The last time I did "Rail Sail to Holland"(as I think it was called back then) was way back in 2008 or 2009! Yes it's an excellent way to get over to Holland. The train from London Liverpool Street-Harwich International and then an...

Ah yes, I had noticed BlaBlaCar Bus too. But the hassle of having to change coaches in Brussels puts me off booking with them. In fact doing a quick search now for the date I will be going to Rotterdam, I see it would involve getting a service to Gare Lille Europe departing London Victoria at...

I thought National Express dropped their Eurolines branded continental services some years ago, and then these services were just branded as National Express services. I also thought FlixBus took over the Megabus continental services. Though not 100% sure of the accuracy of this. Maybe some...

I'm going on a long weekend break to Rotterdam next month. I was going to go via Eurostar, but I left it too late to book at decent prices(current prices for this short notice now are absolutely ridiculous!). So I'm going with FlixBus, as it's the only option at decent prices. Megabus stopped...

I haven't caught up reading all through this thread yet. But Liz Truss seems absolutely useless and very arrogant. I caught up just now watching her press conference this afternoon. I was expecting it to last about 30 minutes or so, answering a number of journalists questions. But it lasted...

Some drivers are helpful enough to say to boarding passengers(who ask for tickets to wherever) that this bus goes the long way round and you're better off getting another bus, i.e. M1 or whatever. Some aren't very helpful though and won't bother advising them otherwise. I remember a time...

I thought single bus fares were currently capped at £2? Why then have I just been charged £2.50 on a Stagecoach bus for a journey within Bristol? I was surprised at this, though I didn't bother making a fuss about it in front of a watching audience on the lower deck of the bus. It was only...

Haven't checked the likes of The Sun, The Express, etc all week because of all their scare mongering. Think I'll have to give up checking the Sky News website too due to the constant speculation(a mix of positive and negative) reports on there every day about will Putin use nuclear weapons. Am...

I'm just about to test if a 17 stops at Haymarket in a minute when I put my hand out for it! My gut feeling is it won't!! More later 1665595631 Well what do you know, it stopped for me! Hopefully ALL drivers of the 17 and Y6 will stop at this stop from now on if people put their hands out...

Good advice. I know I should avoid those websites you say to avoid(though never ever checked Russia Today). The Sun and The Express have been particularly disgraceful with their reporting about the war, including some VERY disturbing "Doomsday" type reporting. I can remember back around...
