from what I recall there are 200 assaults on TfL^» (Transport for London - about) staff per week and 100 are ticket related issues.

How much is the cost of 100 staff per week being assaulted and having time off work as opposed to the amount of fares being lost.

As a by line when using the London Underground,the amount of times I have seen passengers get right behind a fare paying passenger and go through right behind them.

 

My memory was the Atlantic conveyor being sunk,

a few years I was talking to a sailor who was heading to the Falklands when the conflict happened.

He then said HMS Bristol was escorting Atlantic conveyor to the Falklands, the Argentineans fired off a rocket towards HMS Bristol

Chaff was launched which saved HMS Bristol,but the rockets find Atlantic conveyor as its next target

In my opinion I don't there is anything wrong with having the rifles on display,don't think they would have had bullets in them though.

Think its because soldiers many years ago were based at Berwick,
due to events happening they re located to Coldstream and were part of Oliver Cromwells army.
Who then marched on London to remove the King.
How times have changed.
If any thing is in correct,please advise.

announced by WECA^» (West of England Combined Authority - about) on the local news for the area controlled by WECA.

There are 150,000 children in the WECA area.

Not sure if their are time restrictions on the offer

Being reported LIVE on BBC^» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) breakfast news on 10 June,

just wondering if they MIGHT try to get some live coverage while the train is in motion!

Due to a fault in the signalling system in the BTM^▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI) but BTM is a commonly used alternative)) area

ITV West to celebrate 70 years of ITV,

had an item on the West Somerset railway from 1978 on the local news at 6pm on Friday 30 May 2025,enjoyable.

Saturday morning May 31st at 05:30am very interesting and lots of new things I did not know about the Paris Metro.

Available on catch up.
 

For any one who may I have been at the launch,was any one from GBR^▸ (Great British Railways) actually there,or was Heidi Alexander the face of GBR?

I think most of us know the biggest issue is the leasing of the trains,
will the separate company's be allowed to buy there own sets?

This is effecting trains through Chippenham and Bath and Bristol in both directions.

A very good idea although I think that new train drivers will not be allowed to drive trains on their own till they have passed all the exams.

Not sure how long it takes to teach a driver to drive trains,but I presume the training course(including route knowledge)

 will last until the new drivers  are approaching their 19th Birthday?

Good luck to any young guns reading this forum in your quest to become a train driver,maybe the Grand Parents Parents and Guardians  on this forum
can advise any of their young guns of this new scheme

I do recall going to a meeting at RWB in the town in the mid 1990's?
Only thing I recall was that their were approx 100 local residents at the meeting

A few weeks ago on the last cross country train of the day which was running late from the North.

Train still went into Gloucester (which cost an extra fifteen minutes?)

On arrival at Bristol Parkway approx ten 20 year olds were talking to staff about getting the 20 year olds back to Yate by taxi.
