Yesterday, I had the misfortune to watch "A Very Murray Christmas" on either Netflix or Amazon in which Bill Murray murdered a Fairytale of New York. I'll never be able to unhear that and it has ruined my enjoyment of the song forever.

For me it's a 3 way tie between Greg Lake (I Believe in Father Christmas), Pogues and Kirsty (Fairytale) and Bing and David (Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth). If asked for my least favourite, it would have to be Paul MuckCartney and Wonderful Christmas Time. What a pile of cr@p. Just shows...

Perhaps we already do.

Speak for yourself. I can't seem to muster any enthusiaism for this project whatsoever. Destined to end up in a dusty shed at Didcot visited only on days of precipitation - or by people looking for the loos. Again, just MY opinion.

The one that bugs me the most is head codes - you can at least have a guess at station codes and other acronyms/abbreviations given the context but something like "I'm on 9S80 waiting at Wigan with no progress anticipated for a bit." means naff all to most people.

There are some people who will never follow the rules and some who will never be pulled up on it. My preference would be for those people to be given "infractions" and after enough be put on moderation and eventually banned but that won't happen either.

Would have been interesting to watch if not travel.

Shame that hovercraft service never got off the ground (or off the Firth).

Damn, I believed it when the told me I'd been chosen because I'm a valued customer (never booked a ticket with them in my life) and also great looking (can't fault their reasoning there ;-) )

If by 1B46 you mean the 2245 from Wolverhampton to Euston, it has only been pick up at MKC since the December 2013 timetable change

I'm not questioning the reason they close stations, I'm questioning the assertion that TfL run extra services for big events.

Has been pick up/set down at MKC for a couple of years now, necessitating a long wait if Northampton is missed out.

Wasn't the destination London Terminals which he undoubtedly arrived at less than 30 minutes late?

If true, it only applies to Wembley. Not The Emirates (Holloway Road closed and fans sent to Highbury and Islington/Finsbury Park); not Hyde park when there's a concert on - Hyde Park Corner and other stations local to the park closed; not Notting Hill carnival - stations closed; not fireworks...

True, not only do they not run extra services on match days or event days (eg concerts in Hyde Park) - they also shut down some of stations in the particular area to make travelling more difficult.

Aside from the bit where they dodge the question of whether Virgin offered to share a lounge by answering a question about lounges being part of their franchise requirement. Yes, under the franchise they are not obliged to provide facilities but that doesn't mean they can't and doesn't mean they...

Punching above your weight?

Is that a thing?

We don't know when he brought the claim. It may have been 3 over months ago - these things do tend to drag on, particularly if there are attempts to settle out of court.

Why, when the off peak single from Euston is £10.15? The Gold Card discount is not valid on Virgin trains. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It wasn't a made up abbreviation, it's a widely used abbreviation for Milton Keynes (the town) rather than Milton Keynes Central, the...
