They do, where possible, but at best you're getting 4 hours a night without train movements down that way, on the mainline that drops to just over 2 which is just about enough to ensure its safe to work on the line before you've got to remove all that protection.
That's all planned months in advance, the same service should depart from the same platform every day which is why you see commuters standing on an empty platform without a service advertised in the exact spot where the doors should be. You can see the platforms services should be in during the...
Nope, card must be present for ticket sales, or it certainly was when I sold them.
Don't know if its been mentioned or not but this would have been so much easier had the Railway Operator service still been in existence, unfortunately they scrapped that a few years ago, always handy when I had...
We're currently looking at going from a 2 bedroom bungalow to a 3 bedroom place and still de-cluttering. I am a massive hoarder and even I've found it quite refreshing to just bin loads of stuff.

A plastic plunger for the fridge to unblock the drain hole was a recent one, also a replacement handle for the patio door that I purchased 2 of, just in case it broke again.
I just got rid of the second one as we had the door replaced about 18 months ago.
After reading their story I ended up watching the film they made about it, "Diving Into The Unknown", it really is incredible what they did just a few weeks after losing 2 friends.
I also saw the news when I woke up about the Ex-navy diver who died on the supply run over night. This is far from...
