    Revised TfL guidance on face masks

    Are they actually still restricting entry to the station to maintain social distancing? Or is this just a poster they've not taken down yet? Social distancing should very much be a thing of the past now, consigned to the history books for good. It was near enough a year ago that the...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    I don't even understand why they're going on about this so called rise in cases. Yes there's been a rise in cases over the past month from 4,140 per day on 28th May to 21,360 per day on 27th June. Todays cases being just14,585. This is just a fraction of the peak we saw on 4th January when...

    Covid restrictions abroad: updates & observations

    Absolute MADNESS by the Irish government! They need to ditch any thought of "mandatory mask wearing"(!!!!) returning once and for all. The darn things are both absolutely ridiculous and absolutely pointless! Time to move on from all this once and for all! The introduction of mandatory mask...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Missing your(and a number of other members) helpful comments in the support group conversation! It's all been split down to several smaller groups now, and is much less active than it was. To add further to this posting though, rather than just say the above. Yes it's disgusting the press...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    How much longer is this going to drag on for?? About a couple of months or so ago the media were reporting that "War could be over in two or three weeks" and "War could end on 8th May". That didn't happen! Then about a month ago they were reporting that "War could be over by the end of the...

    Covid restrictions abroad: updates & observations

    Yes I briefly read an article about that on The Sun website yesterday. Compulsory face coverings muzzles from OCTOBER TO EASTER???!!! Absolute MADNESS! And just a few weeks ago they finally scrapped that nonsense(apart from public transport for some stupid reason). I was thinking of doing a...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Just got an email back from GWR to say they have now removed all COVID related signage and PA announcements from their trains. About time! Now I can start using their trains again! Is LNER still keeping up their face coverings signage and PA announcements?

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    NO NO NO!! We really do NOT need the return of mandatory face masks ANYWHERE again! This nonsense shouldn't have even been brought in in the first place! We had to endure this nonsense for over a year from June 2020 to July 2021. I found this long period of mandatory face masks(along with...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    We need to get over once and for all this annual fear narrative that "restrictions(and even a lockdown) could return this autumn/winter"!!!! In the autumn/winter of 2020 what happened was a complete and utter overblown over-reaction farce, with the 2nd national lockdown, the ridiculous Tiers...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    And as well as the BBC and Sky, I see The Mirror(no surprise there atall going by their past behaviour!), the Daily Mail, and The Telegraph are at it with their fear mongering nonsense too! For crying out loud!!!! It really is as though the press and media are publishing fear mongering...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    I agree. This fear mongering rubbish by the press and media has to STOP COMPLETELY. I was going to say recently that it's good that they've stopped their fear mongering at long last. But no, apparantly not when I noticed the "Covid infections rise in UK for first time in two months" on the...

    Covid restrictions abroad: updates & observations

    I'm getting confused here as I thought the Netherlands finally scrapped all their restrictions weeks ago and reports here that the country is practically back to normal! But maybe not, according to some posts on here! So Germany has finally scrapped mandatory face muzzles(apart from on public...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    That's slightly surprising, as I understood it the GWR Class 800's don't feature these automated announcements. I was on a London-Bristol service the Saturday before last and thankfully no automated or live PA announcements about silly pointless face masks. Unless they have now installed these...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Jesus christ! GWR are going back in time to 2020! So they've changed their "Thank you for wearing a face covering, if you can. As a courtesy to others." to saying we MUST wear face coverings/masks and to social distance as much as possible!! Mandatory face covering laws were scrapped 4...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Update to that - I sent a letter to them last week complaining about those silly outdated unecessary face covering and social distancing automated PA announcements on their M1 buses, and request that their depot team remove them from their buses as a matter or urgency. Though I've not received...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Spotted this notice on the door of an estate agents which I passed by in North Bristol today. I felt like taking a photo of it to share on here. When I took this photo a few of the staff in there noticed me taking the photo and walking away shaking my head! They probably realised that I was...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Dear oh dear oh dear. Chiltern Railways are certainly WAY behind the times. That "Essential travel only" nonsense ended some 14 months ago now!!! That messaging should have long been taken down! I'd advise emailing Chiltern customer service to comment about this out of date messaging about...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Godknows how much longer LNER will still be peddling that nonsense! This "Wear a face covering as a courtesy to others" request really just doesn't cut it anymore, and it's about time operators like LNER, GWR, and TfL accept this and move on from this and scrap this ridiculous out of date...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    I know this strictly isn't on topic, as it's about buses rather than shops. But thought I would mention here that here in Bristol there are still some buses with automated PA announcements going off about we MUST wear a face mask and some seats taken out of use to aid social distancing!!! Even...

    Grand Union approved for Cardiff to London open access by ORR from December 2024

    Would their stopping patterns of these services be similar to GWR's or would they be hoping to operate faster services with less stops, or slower services with more stops?
