    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    So who do you want a trade deal with? We hear so much about how UK will be free to trade deals but I am not sure what amazing new markets the UK is going to find. Also much talk of exit with NO Deal and trading on WTO terms, this appears to be much less straight forward than we have been led...

    As a wheelchair user I think that one well maintained lift is adequate. I don't know what the height to be overcome is in this case but ramps may have been ruled out as they would be indefeasibly long.

    Wheelchair Access on Local Trains in France

    My French is school boy at best. I confess to being ashamed of my reliance on Europeans speaking fair English. A little more research has revealed the train route I want is the "TER Languedoc-Roussillon 5". If it runs with some of the modern low floor stock it should be fine. If it is a...
