I'm looking to travel Leeds to Southampton Central on 29 March. Given the above, is there a viable route to use the cheaper "not via London" ticket on?

That surely must be an incorrect allocation of London Terminals tickets or another reason, as no one would intentionally make that journey when it can be done direct over the road from St Pancras?

Seems like we need to distinguish two things. Under the wording of the byelaw it appears that vaping is legal, regardless of what anyone thinks about it or whether it was a future development of technology not contemplated by the drafters. Smoking is illegal, but there's some ambiguity on what...

How has the network handled Babet yesterday and today?

I'm surprised £200k was considered sufficient. That's a 0.003% contribution to TfL's annual budget. Even if it all went to the bottom line, which it doesn't. Once you've internally (I'm hoping all the resource was internal) accounted for commercial, legal and PR time, plus supervising the...

On the "social value" question raised, it's been government policy since 2021 that at least 10% of the assessment weighting should be based on this. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0620-taking-account-of-social-value-in-the-award-of-central-government-contracts

Hi all, I'm seeing Blur at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and staying in a hotel in Letchworth Garden City. I know there's likely to be impact from the industrial action on the day and was looking for any recommendations on the best route to the stadium. The two main options seem to be changing...

Not only doesn't work, but it displays the email address of the previous requestor in full. Probably not ideal!
