Especially for BNM, who I am sure by now is sitting in a bunting bedecked living room in his Union Jack suit counting the hours until the happy couple appear! Photo taken by a pal in Windsor yesterday . |

I'm actually sat in a pub near Lacock, Wilts, enjoying a cool lager with bobm. Thankfully no TV, bunting etc here.  |

Although this conversation is utterly fascinating and riveting just to bring the thread back on topic, SAM FM Thames Valley have just tweeted the following: TRAVEL: Queue times at Windsor & Eton Central are now at two hours. @GWRHelp say they have got plenty of trains to get people home and are asking people to relax and wait until things quieten down. #RoyalWeddding

Congratulations to the happy couple. I'm a republican but I'm not that much of a curmudgeon to pour scorn on love and marriage. That said, the BBC» have gone too far this time. My Saturday nights are enlivened by re-runs of Dad's Army. But this week Walmington-on-Sea's finest have been shelved in favour of wedding highlights. I'm apoplectic. I've a good mind to write to Barry Took, complaining at BBC2's scheduling. They won't like it up 'em. |

It was on at 18:30 tonight and can be watched https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00789c4/dads-army-series-7-4-the-godiva-affair here. |

Ahh. DON'T PANIC! DON'T PANIC! Still writing to Anne Robinson though. Fancy the BBC» scheduling the only two programmes I actually wanted to watch this evening, FA Cup and Dad's Army, at the same time. Dad's Army should be on around 8pm. Oh and my EPG was wrong. |

With the benefit of hindsight, this light-hearted renaming on the platform was NOT smart idea. Significant numbers of people wanted to be photographed with the temporary station names. This added to congestion on the platform, which was already a problem. In retrospect it would have been better to only modify signs away from the platform, in which places a bit of extra congestion would not have mattered. |

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.
