Shops like this shouldn't be allowed to operate with nonsense restrictions like this. It really should be ILLEGAL for them to operate with nonsense like that. Insisting on face masks and strict social distancing restrictions??!!! We're in May 2022 now, NOT July 2020!! Any shops still...

Yes, those GWR nonsense "Thank you for wearing a face covering, if you can. Out of courtesy to others" automated PA announcements ARE definitely at a louder volume than the other automated PA announcements. They're incredibly annoying, and why I'm refusing to use GWR services at the moment...

I have an awful feeling they're going to peddling that "Thank you for wearing a face covering, if you can. Out of courtesy to others." nonsense on signage and those awful LOUD automated PA announcements on their trains for months and MONTHS to come yet. Probably even into until at least 2023...

Companies like LNER need to get with the times, and accept that A) Mandatory face mask laws were scrapped over 3 months ago in England and a few weeks ago in Scotland, and B) The vast vast majority of passengers on their services are not wearing them any more and are getting back to a normal...

What utter nonsense of that museum! There are no Covid-19 restrictions in place any more! We don't have to wear a face mask anymore! I'd email them to tell them that. Also I note on their website it says there is a 25 minute time limit for visits. Rip-off if that's still the case! Social...

This is an absolute nightmare. As well as the seemingly never ending atrocities that evil Putin is doing to Ukraine, he's now threatening to use nuclear weapons on Britain. There have been some seriously scary worrying headlines in the media today.... Russia war LIVE – Now Vladimir Putin’s...

Thanks. I'll have a look at EMR journeys to consider. Meanwhile, I found some great value fares with SouthEastern for travel on Saturdays. Fares between London Victoria and Margate for just £5.10 singles. And high speed journeys between London St. Pancras and Margate for £7! Also with...

Not having much luck so far in trying to find good deals in this sale. I looked up London Liverpool Street-Great Yarmouth on an upcoming Saturday. £12 singles. Which whilst good value for a journey of that distance and duration, I think that's the cheapest you'll get advance singles for...

In a mo I'm going to try and find some cheap fares for a day out somewhere. The article on the Bristol Post website about this sale mentions you can get Bristol-London single fares for as low as £18 with this sale. Well that's a bit of a con, as even without this sale that's the cheapest price...

I've seen some 1s and 2s about recently with Town Centre on the destination display. Which is a bit odd as Bristol is a city not a town!!

These highly irritating PA announcements are on the 165/166's and HST's too, and most likely the 150's and 158's. It's why I'm avoiding travelling with GWR at the moment, until they get rid of these pathetic announcements. I absolutely DETEST any PA announcements onboard trains or in...

I was on this service from Edinburgh on a Monday back in early March. Only about a dozen passengers boarding at Edinburgh. Probably only about 2 or 3 people who were already aboard from Glasgow. No passengers boarded at the first stop of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Only 2 passengers boarding at...

I noticed on ITV News West Country the two hosts were finally back to sitting next to each other rather than 2 metres apart with one of the hosts sitting to the side of the desk, about a month ago now. About time seeing as social distancing was scrapped on 19th July! Mind you, ITV News...

I've had a sore throat and runny nose for the past few days. I'm certainly NOT taking a Covid test because of that!. It's probably just nothing more than a cold that will clear up within a few days!

Those tannoy announcements of "Throughout the pandemic..... we're nearly there...." were previously used in my local big Sainsbury's in the run up to when restricted were expected to be scrapped on 21st June(which was then delayed and become 19th July). I've not heard this one in there(or any...

It's absolutely ridiculous isn't it. They've had plenty of time to remove that poster now! It would barely take about a minute! Open up the frame, remove that poster, put another poster there(which is nothing to do with face coverings!!) I would email or Tweet GWR asking for that poster to...

It's on the Bristol Post website https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/first-bus-shares-list-services-6813215

Some drastic cuts coming at the end of April.... The T2 and Y2 are being axed. And also.... Service 1, Broomhill to Cribbs Causeway via Bristol City Centre: Monday to Friday off-peak and all day Saturday frequency will reduce from every 15 to every 20 minutes Services 2 and 2a between...

I wouldn't worry about the current Covid stats and cases rising again. Even the press and media are barely mentioning this. Time to move on completely from this Covid obsession and get back to normal. There are far more important things to worry about right now, such as the dreadful war in...

I travelled with LUMO on the 1436 London King's Cross-Edinburgh service last Wednesday. As mentioned, when I booked a window seat I later discovered I was allocated a seat that wasn't really a proper window seat as there was only about half a window next to the seat! I should have booked with...
