      It's been poor for weeks. Try 2am when there's no-one else trying to get on.

    Arriva are going to be prosecuting people for fare dodging whether they have made every effort to purchase a ticket prior to travelling or not. If the ticket office is closed, and the ticket machine on the platform is not working, then it will be a case of either a fine or jail.

      Not true. There either has to be "intent to avoid payment" (Railways Act offence) or an intent to travel without a ticket where facilities existed to buy one before travel (Byelaw offence). If the booking office is shut and the machine isn't working there were no facilities so you don't get prosecuted, it's the first thing they check.

      From "Military Matters" - "QRA target (Paris to Newcastle) has been escorted in to Newcastle by RAF Typhoons after going off course". More exciting than the telly anyway

      Website on the second link has crashed, sorry. Twitter feed on first link should be working. Two Typhoons circling over Pickering, tanker from Brize currently over Scraborough heading NE. Tanker shows up on Flightradar24 (callsign V9U64) but not the Typhoons

    Thank you to the driver of the three 325s that blocked up York this evening. Missed my connection due to sitting outside station while you blocked up platform 3/4. Tonight's early valentines date is now off.

    So frustrating when modelling a real location and you cant find a photo of a certain area.

      Build it based on guesswork. Guarantees a photo will turn up.

    is INCANDESCENT that the BBC has given up 'The Open' golf to the Murdock Continuum and yet again thrown away a superb annual sporting event. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3254566/BBC-TV-rights-Open-year-early-Sky-Sports-broadcasting-Royal-Troon-2016.html Remember the 'half live coverage' of F1 given away to Sky being described by some ****wit woman sports director as "A good deal for viewers"

    is saddened that he won't be having G & Ts afloat this eveningt whilst watching the Red Arrows at Dartmouth Regatta. After that awful crash last week 'nanny' has decreed that they can only make two passes along the river instead of the usual spectacular show.

    Interesting scam from the Royal Mail on something I ordered from the US on Ebay where they want to charge me

      Either way, your beef is either with the seller for misdescribing the item on the customs declaration, or with HMRC for misreading it. Not with RM.

      Sounds like excise duty or import VAT. It's not a crime to withhold the item until that's paid and return it to the sender if you won't.
