You could use the excuse it was in the Hungerford sanitary district (c. 1872) which extended over the county boundary to include Bedwyn!

I must admit that my initial concern was that it appeared that the bike was about three steps from being able to board a train. Had it done so the result would not have been so photogenic.

This happening in a train or bus doesn't really bear thinking about https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-68744317

I don't feel the current situation is going to change soon

Am interested how they managed to do it despite English Nature Natural England shouting BATS (as opposed to Great Crested Newts). Another former railway tunnel in Wales has gone ahead despite the Welsh equivalent playing the bats card, although it is shut part of the year during the bat breeding season.

The South Downs National Park are going through all sorts of contortions over the tunnels on the Chichester - Midhurst line, alternative suggestions hardly suitable for manual wheelchair users who are not paralympians. Is it a case that BANES was prepared to face down English Nature and a National Park feel they can't.

UPDATE: correct name of quango

This of course does not apply to us because we are no longer part of this club.

Although lots of people might agree with
I am not sure if the politicians or the journalists are responsible for but they sound painful.

I think I can safely say not Basingstoke.

To ensure no damage to historic artifacts at Winchester, not a problem at Basingstoke???

I think this is not the last of this.

I must admit I missed the article, I assumed it was a usual Lucy Mangan whingeathon.

Unfortunately a push bike is more likely to be stolen than a train.

Hasn't something similar been reported before on the forum.

as a humble traveller more trains and less overcrowding will be welcome.
