How do you know the 126 is definitely being axed, and the X5 being amended? I can't see any news that the expected cuts are definitely going ahead or not. There was a news report on the main BBC Points West programme last night, saying First have confirmed which bus services will still be...

The BBC Points West News bulletin this morning said that First would confirm which services are being cut later today. Nothing from them so far. Doesn't look like it will be today! Probably won't be till Friday, and chances are it will be all the services that are predicted to be axed will be...

Replying again to your post from 3rd August. What I really can't understand is why the German government has already decided that mandatory mask wearing on public transport must continue until at least 7th April. That's a lengthy EIGHT MONTHS away(from 3rd August) until it can be possibly...

I'm confused about whether these changes or cuts rather are happening or not. It was reported First would officially announce these cuts last Friday. Then it was supposed to be today. And today I read that First have said they can not confirm if those particular services are being axed yet...

So that's the 5, 72, 72A in Bristol being axed from October then. Areas like Cotham, Redland, St Pauls, and Oldbury Court Estate losing vital bus links. Not good atall. I was expecting the 72 & 72A would probably be axed though, after they changed the 8 & 9 a few years or so ago and the...

I agree some parts of Northern England and elsewhere in England are still stuck in last year to some degree. When I was in Manchester for the day a couple of months ago, throughout the city centre area there were still HUGE "COVID 19 - Please keep your distance", "COVID-19 - Keep 2m apart"...

When I boarded the train a couple of weeks ago, I quickly investigated what my reserved seat was like. As I expected it was absolutely crap. Next to the wall of the train with no view out the window whatsoever! Despite me booking a WINDOW seat! Whilst it wasn't an aisle seat, I wouldn't...

Just wondering, is LNER still rattling on on their trains that we should still be wearing face masks/coverings??!! Or have they finally got the message and ditched this now after seeing that for months now hardly anyone is wearing these things?!

This just can't be allowed to happen this year(or indeed any year from now on!) Mandatory face masks/coverings restrictions/laws should now be consigned to the history books for good. We put up with that pointless dystoptian nonsense for long enough before. The problem also is IF this...

The I newspaper is a bloody nuisance! They seem to definitely WANT Covid restrictions to return! The amount of their front page headlines I've seen over the months promoting the need for return of Covid restrictions and even lockdowns! Looking at the front page of their paper tomorrow it...

I'm baffled by what you're saying about the UK. The vast majority of people have long ditched wearing masks now! Only a tiny percent - probably no more than about 2% of the population are still wearing those stupid pointless things! And anyone still keeping up that "socially distancing"...

I was passing through Hammersmith Underground station on Saturday, transferring from my FlixBus journey from Bristol to London St. Pancras station). When I entered there, I heard a loud PA announcement go off saying something along the lines of "You MUST wear a face covering at all times when...

I'm doing a London-Sheffield return trip tomorrow(for just £20 with EMR's current Summer Sale). Unfortunately though after booking, I realised from the "Seat Finder" section of their website that the services I booked are for the shorter formed trains and predicted to be crowded! I also know...

Thanks for your words Duncanp. But I'm not atall worried social distancing will ever return again here in the UK. As I said, I'm about 99.5% confident it will never be brought back again. 8-) When cases rise again(whenever that will be), we'll no doubt see the likes of Sky News and The...

Big fan of Germany here too. As it used to be anyway. But whilst they're still dragging on their mandatory FFP2 face mask laws NONSENSE, then I will not be returning there. Can't be doing with going on a short break/holiday there and seeing hundreds/thousands of people wearing dystopian face...

What utter UTTER nonsense!! I will focus in this post on one thing you mentioned. Physical distancing, also known as social distancing. The WHO will probably say we need to "Keep your distance" forever. Here in the UK at least(not so sure about other countries), near enough everyone has long...

Good riddance to Vallance! Out of those "advisors", he was by far the worst. Also this weeks Covid dashboard has been updated today. Covid cases DOWN another 34% this week! Covid cases have been FALLING for the past 3 or 4 weeks. But I don't see the likes of Sky News, ITV News(including...

Thank you for your replies to my last comment TheGrandWazoo and Citistar. And also to 317 forever for your short reply. I didn't mention in that posting at the time. But that same day I also was unable to get a Bristol Rider Week ticket on Stagecoach too. I got on the 3X service at Aztec West...

Anyone ever had problems trying to purchase Bristol Rider tickets on First buses and the drivers saying there's no such tickets or taking ages to find them on their ticket machines? Happened to me a few(or more) times a few months back. Getting on the bus asking for a weeks Bristol Rider...

I shall never forgive Starmer back in October 2020 as the main headline on the TV news every day for what must have been at least a week or two, moaning and whining about there needs to be an immediate 3 week "Circuit Breaker Lockdown". I will never forgive the TV news either for keep promoting...
