OK - awoke to this:



I'm not sure if GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) are making site changes overnight, or if they have my location / IP at present as a problem.  Could have done with a better message, folks, like who the website owner is to contacts  Cheesy


Added - in the interest of constructive criticism, here is "our" forbidden page ...



... and I am happy with it.  Where a remote IP address causes a problem, automation adds it to a block list.   But dynamic use of IP addresses (people move around just like they do in street addresses, but much more often) means that on occasions a bona fide user finds themselves blocked.   I have chosen that our error page tells you who to contact, and gives the information I need to fix the problem for individuals within a couple of minutes.   If the site or forum is down as a whole, I can put a general message out in place rather the a "403" or "404".
