This sign is a relic from the original A49 road in Stretton - now within the grounds of the Pear Tree pub.

One in each direction morning and evening, surprisingly you do get a few board there but of course the vast majority now use Warrington West.

Plenty of people use Sankey, Warrington West, Padgate and Birchwood to travel to Warrington Central, or across the town. This has increased considerably over the last 10 years, I think due to the cost and unreliability of the town’s municipal operator. Birchwood to Warrington is ~5 minutes...

Thanks, we are staying on City Road and travelling to Lord’s for the cricket so perhaps the Elizabeth Line will be the safest bet; I imagine Ubers will be in high demand.

Does anyone know what level of service will be running on Friday, please? The TfL website doesn’t seem to give much away but ideally I would like to be able to travel from Moorgate or Liverpool St to Baker St around 9am.

I am travelling from Bank Quay to London on Thursday, returning Saturday (unavoidable timing!). Does anyone know how busy the strike-day services have been?

I need to travel into London on 04/01 and the tickets / timetable are still not available. Ridiculous!

Most politicians have been silent on the issue, due to the ownership structure. It’s a shame as not so long ago the company was a real asset, but over the last 12 years it has been a comedy of errors and with base fares so high it is hard to win back disgruntled passengers. Also, routes have...

Sadly this seems to be the tip of the iceberg at the moment and mismanagement at various levels has exacerbated the haemorrhaging of drivers. Most services are already running a drastically reduced timetable; the additional cancellations caused by the driver shortage and MOT issue are now...

Seem to recall the waiting room / naff pub at Crewe having them when I was last there in summer 2019.
