I choose however to watch my TV online through my Openreach fibre broadband connection. This does limit my choice of live streaming channels, but nearly everything I'd wish to watch can be found online somewhere...
You can watch most channels via iPlayer, 4oD, ITV Player, etc, even live. I have the BT TV box,which gives all these on the TV without having a smart TV, plus some internet channels - which is how all TV will happen soon enough. It uses the aerial for Freeview channels, though, so wouldn't help you. No sign of Gus Honeybun. |

According to Oxford City Council's planning portal, the application for: Variation of condition 7 (Time limit of 3 years) of prior approval 15/00096/PA18 (Application seeking prior approval for development comprising extension to the length of existing north bay platforms, replacement platform canopies, new re-locatable rail staff accommodation building and reconfiguration of short stay and staff car parking under Part 11 Class A Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995.) to allow the approved TOC▸ accommodation building to remain for 6 years from occupation of the building was approved on 1 December 2015. Have I missed something here? |

The only reason I can think of the bus journey time being 50 minutes between Bath and Bristol is for connection purposes into train services at both ends. I'm sure more often than not the journey will be significantly less than 50 minutes but for the times when it's not...
The cynic in me thinks it may be to get the numbers of pax needed bustitution down to manageable numbers by motivating them to drive instead. How many coaches are needed for a full HST▸ ? |

Gus was probably Unknown to anyone outside of the Television South West region as he was one of their characters.
Gus came as a huge surprise to me when I arrived in Redruth from Blackpool. I can say with absolute conviction that we had nothing quite like him on Granada TV in Lancashire, although whether that was to our cultural detriment or not is a matter for scholarly debate. |

Journey time 50 minutes BTH» to BRI» by non-stop bus??? The X39 is timetabled for 37 minutes, and stops at every third lamp-post until it gets out of Bristol (well, around 10 times). It's a reasonably clear run from Bath station to West Town Lane, when the bus lane ends, and again from Totterdown Bridge all the way to Temple Meads.
