Resurfacing or a storage compound for other works reducing the number of spaces?  Last time I was there Tiverton Parkway had several large car parks and it's hard to imagine them all full, though Google maps shows one as "Permanently Closed" which may explain things.

Westbury not surprised as on local groups the car park being full comes up as an issue from time to time despite its major extension a few years back.

But yes, a good thing to have on JourneyCheck if this is a new feature to highlight when station car parks are full.

Seasonal - or just something I haven't notice on JourneyCheck before?

First warm day of the year so of course the railway melts down........

Cancellations to services between London Paddington and Reading

Due to a speed restriction because of high track temperatures between London Paddington and Reading fewer trains are able to run.

Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 17:00 30/04.

"Hottest day of the year"

I guess this one will be disruptive.  I doubt it's happened because of "cold weather" though

Cash is important

Whatever your politics, everyone needs to be wary of those who seek to rule.  Maybe you're okay with the present government.  But it needs to be remembered that those we elect, if they were so minded, could introduce digital ID and/or a central bank digital currency.  It would be only a small step from there for a malign government to decide that, for example, you cant travel for more than 15 minutes from your home, or that your carbon allowance has already been used this month and you can't travel at all.

Fanciful?  Conspiracy theorist stuff?  Well, who would have foreseen that, just because Boris Johnson's government (and he one who purported to lean towards individual freedoms) told the nation to stay indoors for months except for "permitted purposes", there was almost universal meek compliance

Cash is important

The government has no right to decide how you should legally spend your legally gained earnings.  Giving up cash yields too much power to authority.

That made me laugh, thanks! I fear that what we'll get though is interminable repeats of an explanation that includes phrases like 'Track stones' - Network Rail's curious need to provide an expansion for the word 'Ballast'.

Driving the bus, managing the other traffic on the road, managing the public, dealing with cash transactions, handling a float, balancing the books and putting the takings into the system - and all that with little opportunity for physical exercise. One of society's more taxing jobs, and underappreciated too.
