    Gatwick Express and off peak return.

    Thanks. I would query how it can be valid and yet not valid!

    Gatwick Express and off peak return.

    I hope to be travelling to Gatwick and onwards to Peterborough with my Grandson soon. I'm going on a Saturday, so I'm told I can use a Super Off Peak Return. We would like to use the Gatwick Express to Victoria, then sample the Underground to King's Cross and on to Peterborough. However, when on...

    Strategic reserve

    I don't believe for one moment about any strategic reserve, but what I do believe is that any siding off a main line is certainly not private to rail crews, signallers and PWay.

    Strategic reserve

    Was that siding off a main line?

    Strategic reserve

    Exactly. How would they keep a siding in the tunnel secret?

    Strategic reserve

    I'm listening to Punt PI on BBC sounds. This programme is about the supposed steam loco reserve. Apparently steam loco's were kept as they wouldn't succumb to the effects of a nuclear explosion on electrical systems that would affect diesel loco's, but surely the signalling system would be...

    Covid restrictions abroad: updates & observations

    During the enforced vaccination, I would read on FB people advocating that the unvaccinated shouldn't get medical treatment, employment, and in one case, housing (I kid you not). When I suggested they replace unvaccinated with Jewish, and read it back to hear how it sounds they got very...

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

    The street that my Mother lives on is getting work done by a utility provider. The letter recieved had what I expected, area concerned, dates and expected duration. I was surprised, however to read 'Due to the escalation of Covid 19' Escalation ???

    Dating apps: good or bad for society?

    My only experience was 15 years ago. One memorable one was a woman said she was looking for a man between 30 & 40. I said I was 37. She said that's too old. You can't work with logic like that.

    Hydrogen Class 614 - It moves!

    It seems hydrogen is now blameless as it is seen as green. Much like plastic went from being the antichrist prior to 2019 to our saviour during covid. And there's no need for the condescension. It may make you feel superior saying 'There's no need for a real life demonstration just to appease...

    Hydrogen Class 614 - It moves!

    That petrol isn't pressurised. And when it hits the roof of a tunnel, where does it go? I don't doubt this could be the future, but I'm genuinely concerned as to the fuel. Have any tests been done to show what happens to the tanks in an accident? If the gas simply rises away, then let us...

    Hydrogen Class 614 - It moves!

    Upwards in a tunnel doesn't really exist. How is the Hindenburg different. Same gas, same risk, and in the conditions I said, also a confined space. If they're that sure, let's have a nuclear fuel type destructive test.

    Hydrogen Class 614 - It moves!

    Just playing devil's advocate here. What would happen if an accident ruptured the hydrogen tank in a tunnel?

    Voluntary isolation before holidays

    The obvious question is, did they do any if this prior to 2019? I know a few people who seem to think that the flu never existed.

    Stansted Airport to Peterborough in April.

    Hi. I hope to travelling return from Stansted Airport to Peterborough on the 15th of April. Will the timetable be much different from the one now? Or would there be many differences? Thanks.

    Are there any strike days in September.

    We all know how well the British car industry coped with strikes......

    Is mask wearing still mandatory in Berlin?

    I would of thought Germany, more than any other European Country, would of been uncomfortable with a heavy handed police/security presence.

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    Yes, I declined and pointed out how farcical it was. To a rather blank expression!

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    At our Doctors surgery, the unmasked receptionist asks everyone coming in to wear a mask.
