I suggest that you visit on a Wednesday morning and count the number of people waiting for the food bank to open.

Overlapping the ticketing day would bring in other anomalies over break of journey and capping. These would be easier to resolve by changing the Keygo T&Cs but there would be people complaining that it was "unfair".

I couldn't remember the details when I posted about this a few days ago as it was before my move to Chesham. My understanding was that the replacement location was to be on the opposite side of the valley to Waterside removing bridges over 2 roads and the river and putting the station out of...

White Feather Club was a spoof on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again. Although remembering ISIRTA probably puts me in the old category too. (Especially as I can sing the Angus Prune Song too)

A few decades ago i believe that there was a proposal to close the existing station and build a replacement on Chesham Moor. Funds were found to repair the bridges across the river Chess and Waterside instead. I don't know know of any proposal to close the branch entirely. There have been the...

My late mother in law moved into a nice quiet cul-de-sac which lead to a footpath. Only at 11:30 on a Saturday night was it obvious that it was a popular short cut from the town centre pubs to rather a lot of housing.

I certainly read it as a joke.

I have had two legit calls from their fraud team over the last couple of decades. Always hung up cleared the line and called back. Silly thing is that in the distant past the phone banking team asked me to provide a password for them to use when calling me. When I asked the security team for...
