    Your Xmas Day

    Royal Mail - how does it all work?

    I don't know any of the answers, but I presume there are smaller mail centres covering smaller areas? There is one in Shrewsbury where I live (and I once did a Cristmas casual job) that's lot listed on the link above. And they dealt with the SY, TF and LD postcodes (Shrewsbury, Telford and...

    When was the last time you Visited the Cinema (and what did you watch)?

    I liked most of it, didn't have a particular favourite part. I just didn't think it was quite as good as the others.

    I also saw Toy Story 4. I thought it as very good, though not the best of the Toy Story films.

    Passenger finds himself on empty stock

    When a driver has to shunt the train to the opposite platform for the return working, do they have to check the train is empty? (I don't think they have to do this when just simply starting the next service from the same location as where it finished the previous service.)

    Buying ranger/rover tickets

    There are references to a code which can help with issuing the ticket - is that the one found on BRFares.com (e.g. Cheshire Day Rgr I351) or the one on railrover.org (for Cheshire Day Ranger, it has CHESHIRE DAY RGR / CED / I351 CHESHIRE DAY RGR) - the 'I351' is the same as above. Or is it CED...

    Buxton line question

    I notice that trains from Manchester Piccadully are timed to arrive at Buxton (at least on the public timetable) at xx02 and then trains leave Buxton for Manchester Piccadilly at xx02! Is this a bit of timetable padding? Is it the same train (i.e. the same unit) that arrives at xx02 as the one...

    Saveaway question

    Does anyone know if Chester will give me a Saveaway on paper? Any recent experiences? (Because Chester is not a Merseyrail-owned station).

    When was the last time you Visited the Cinema (and what did you watch)?

    I've seen Aladdin and really enjoyed it. There are negative reviews on imdb, but I personally love the film. I do know the original film.

    When was the last time you Visited the Cinema (and what did you watch)?

    I saw Disney's live action version of Dumbo in 4DX (with moving seats and other physical effects). I'm a fan of Disney films and really enjoyed it, despite a load of negative reviews about. Going to se Aladdin (again in 4DX) on Monday and looking forward to it. Also will be going to see Toy...

    Saveaway question

    Is it still possible to get a Saveaway on paper (not a Walrus card) from a Merseyrail station ticket office? Because this booklet suggests that the Merseyrail stations only sell the ticket on a Walrus card although it is not clear on this. I would rather have a paper ticket. I am thinking of...

    Groupsave question

    I have a question about groupsave: From Shrewsbury to Birmingham New Street, this groupsave ticket (from BRFares.com; £10.25 each) seems to have route Any Permitted but when I try to search on National Rail enquiries or the West Midlands Railway site for 3 or more people it only gives this...

    Films you've seen/film discussion

    Enchanted - Disney hybrid of animation and live-action. A princess in her animatd world ends up in live-action New York. A very good film; in some ways a parody of traditional fairy tales; lots of references to past Disney films.
