One of the trains that calls at all stops on the HML is the first up in the morning from Queen Street - namely the 07:10 departure. That connects nicely to an all-stopper to Aberdeen. The next train down to Glasgow again bags the slightly awkward Portlethen, although they'd then have to change...

I think I could just about manage a fiver if I was interested. Lib Dems to take Vauxhall has 4/1 odds according to SkyBet (as ever, at time of posting). Labour have 1/7 odds in the same seat, though.

The suggestion is that they are, so here's hoping. Young people are registering in quite large numbers. If the opinion polls are being weighted to correct for a lack of young people voting, they could be wrong if the young voters do turn out. It relies, of course, on those registrations...

We wait a while until we catch our next bus, the 18:40 Stagecoach South East 254 service to Hawkhurst British Legion Hall. We arrive at 19:16 on Saturday evening.

It's about as close to evens as you get with the bookies. They are in it to make money, so for a 50/50 decision they usually give you odds like 5/6 (they post very similar odds for those sad people who like to bet in the outcomes of coin tosses). So, at least according to Ladbrokes, there's an...

Bookies usually have it pretty accurate. Ladbrokes has the odds of a Tory win (most seats) at 1/12, a Tory Majority at 2/9. They seem to be predicting 363 Tory seats, 207 Labour seats, 10 Lib Dem seats and 45 SNP seats. (This relates to the over/under section of the betting slip at time of...

That's sadly the reason why I shall be voting Labour. I don't like them and they've been relatively weak, particularly in the local area where they should have put up a proper fight. But there is a real prospect of them losing here. I think they'll actually extend their majority in Vale of Clwyd...

... careful! I would also be surprised, but there's been a significant rise in the number of young people planning to vote which could catch people unaware. I'll be surprised if anyone other than Theresa May walks back through the doors of Number 10 on Friday morning but her majority...

Drumpf's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement has now been criticised by North Korea. North Korea accuses Trump of being 'selfish' over Paris climate pact Things are quite bad when North Korea is criticising you having a "moral vacuum".

Same.

I've been watching the Scottish side of the election from down here in Wales, and as far as I can see the Conservatives have been campaigning solely on the fact that they aren't the SNP. They're doing essentially the same down here - "we're not Jeremy Corbyn". Frankly, the quality of the...

Works fine in Scotland and Wales. Our parliaments use AMS to boost he numbers of members 1 not a problem that we have in Westminster so I don't support this in the Westminster system. But, those additional MPs represent people across a number of constituencies. Since they are unlikely to be all...

Change the words in the above from "President Drumpf" to "Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un". It somehow fits perfectly. It really does sound like a crazy North Korean style propaganda piece.

Interestingly I did not have a reservation between Chester and Prestatyn at any point. I had assumed it was a local train (quite a few them aren't reservable) but it appears would usually come from Cardiff so you would expect reservations to have been available. My morning train to Crewe had no...

I think you're being a bit harsh on the man issuing the tickets to be fair. He printed off a single to London with reservation Crewe to London, and a single from London with reservation London to Crewe. That was it. There was no reservation for the cancelled services, and even if he had been...

So the Tories have done the same in the Vale of Clwyd it seems. Thanks for bringing this requirement to my attention, I'm happy to make sure the Tories have a difficult time that the DPA is upheld as intended. :D

They should have well over a week in Scotland, so plenty of time to get footage. At least a good hour and a half of footage. At the very least.

The 60s. 1760s that is. bkP12UwEWUY In all fairness, I'll listen to music spanning from the 14th to 21st centuries. It's hard to pick a favourite from that, the variety is so wide and there's plenty of good music to be found at most times in history. It's just a case of sorting out the dross...

Absolutely. And, as I have pointed out to ATW (and above), they had two years notice of a major event in Cardiff. There is no reason why the revised timetable shouldn't have been in place at the time of booking. Interestingly there was actually a replacement bus service - no one at Crewe was...

I think that's a pretty reasonable description of a football match. I could repeat the words "football match" about twenty times, but I'd rather give you something interesting to read. At the end of the day, though, that is a fair description of what happened. Twenty two men kicked a ball...
