With refferance to adding anything to a malt  the only way to drink it well is to add water in a small measure to wake up the sprit  never put ice near a malt .

This is getting silly.

Id rather poke my own eyes out !.

A very large Thankyou to all who were involved in this evenings event it made for a most interesting hours reading and I now have a much better understanding of what is to come  again many thanks WP.

Just popping in for a quick Coffee before bed
As I said in my earlier post today I've been to London and back by FGW^▸ (First Great Western) and lived to tell the tale
Without exception today has been the most pleasurable journey I've had in many a long while
Normaly I'm fit and quite able to walk quite well Thankyou but the last couple of weeks or so I've been using a walking stick due to problems with my back
The amount of help and assistance that I have been offered today has been exceptional every single member of FGW staff that I've had dealings with today have been under a great deal of pressure but regardless of the strike have done their upmost to ensure that I was able to complete my journey without any inconvience
So credit where it's due   To all those that worked so hard today to make my journey and everyone else's  as easy as it could be under the circumstances
A Very Big Thankyou   WP.

Wish me luck I have to be in London this afternoon and am hoping to return to Bristol this evening !

I'm one of those who can remember when head codes used to be on the front of the Loco
I quite miss that.

Thankyou  Ollie 

Can anyone tell me what the legal position is with Reguards to having a guard or not ?
I for one would wish to see train staff that know how to do the job as we have at this time.

Don't you mean Westbury Park ?

Thankyou one and all for your most helpfull replies I'm much obliged.

Is it possible to by a ticket at Temple Meads without going out of the ticket line ?.

Some advice would be most welcome on this topic if I may ask for the help of a more experienced member
Question   A young chap who is a student and has a valid student railcard travels from let's say Oxford to Temple meads on his ticket with his student railcard
When he gets to Bristol he has a change of travel plan and does not leave the station to catch the bus but instead gets on the Severn riviera service intending to travel to let's say redland
Knowing full well that it is possible to buy a ticket on this train he boards and when the train manager asks to see all tickets he asks to buy one and shows his railcard
 At which point the TM^‡(resolve) in question tells him that he does not qualify for a railcard discount because he should of bought a ticket before boarding the train and then charges the full fare whilst requiring the young man to show him the ticket for the journey from Oxford .

So is the TM right to disregard the Railcard

Or was he as I suspect being a bit of a git ?

Oh yes the good old run to or from the sun !.
