But will it work? Today is the day that DEFRA have announced that their all-singing, all-dancing online farm payment system is to be abandoned after 'performance problems' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31976230

If anyone would prefer an alternative NSC media presence, I can exclusively reveal that Lady B's cinematographic skills might well feature on next Sunday's BBC South East edition of The Politics Show. Signed A Groupie.

No, they wouldn't. There is a lot more commuting to London these days. And a lot more of that commuting involves driving a car to a major railway station that can offer a higher frequency train service than is available on the Uckfield line - places like Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and...

I would agree. But even if the Lewes-Uckfield line re-opened, there wouldn't be direct trains to or from Tunbridge Wells.

This may seem a crass question, but it is a genuine one ... What is the problem that needs solving?

If it was "easily fixed", why do you think that the conclusion of every study that has been undertaken in the last 25 years has been that there isn't a business case to justify the capital expenditure necessary to re-establish train services between Lewes and Uckfield? And if you are looking...

Passenger surveys? Do you imagine that the advocates of BML2 have done passenger surveys? They haven't. When I was in the business of commissioning feasibility studies into various aspects of the plans to develop the Uckfield line, one of the hardest things to get across to Brian Hart and his...

No. BML2 omits Lewes. The spur to Lewes, shown on the map above, merely confirms that the BML2 plan requires retention of the old Lewes-Uckfield scheme (but in a slightly different form). If Lewes-Uckfield is unaffordable, Lewes-Uckfield PLUS BML2 is all the more unaffordable. And BML2 aims...

The spat between the advocates of BML2 and the supporters of re-opening the Lewes-Uckfield line is now getting very political, in the run-up to the General Election. Yesterday's announcement by George Osborne was undoubtedly designed to encourage Maria Caulfield, Tory candidate for Lewes and...

My recollection of the Consultants' report that originally suggested a route via Ringmer as an option was that it didn't propose a diversion south of Isfield, but envisaged a reversing manoeuvre at Uckfield station and avoiding the western end of Uckfield, the Uckfield bypass, Isfield, Barcombe...

The Ringmer route, eh? Back in the nineteenth century, that nearly happened. They even built The Railway Hotel on Laughton Road (later renamed the Hare and Hounds, now Heron House).

Imagine we were back in 1983, a few days after the Harrods bombing, and you fancied shopping in the New Year sales. Would you travel to London?:

The way we are playing ... I wouldn't worry about it.

That's because it's a Wolves song. They probably thought it was a generous gesture to the away supporters, along with the Marston's Pedigree they'd been drinking earlier. JBdmhFw6o3Y

One effect of having the words on the screen was to slow down the clapping and keep it in time with the tune. I'm not fussed about people singing about going up and hoping to win a trophy while others sing the words to SBTS. The really important thing is that the first verse gets sung, rather...

Some of us are still waiting for an answer to the question "Where can I download a GOSBTS ringtone for a Nokia 6310?"

I don't believe that Duckenfield was alone in setting the ball rolling to blame Liverpool supporters. Margaret Thatcher's refusal to accept criticism of the police meant that the scapegoating of football fans by establishment figures was given legitimacy at the highest level. To blame...

Anyone fancy setting up a business to cold call phone numbers with the following message? "Have you been pestered by unwanted phone calls? You may be entitled to compensation. Please press '9' and one of our expert Claim Managers will get in touch with you".
