    As said before the only sector that do not benefit from promotion are the fans.

    What made you happy today?

    Well at 61 I was happy to be able to go to the gym and I've just walked my daughter to Custom House station with my grandkids and as I'm walking back I'm watching the trains and dlr . That's good enough for me. Chelsea losing tonight would be a bonus.

    I remember Dundee Utd winning it once although it might not have been the Premier. I think they even beat Barcelona in Europe.

    Why have the rules on photography at some visitor attractions become more relaxed?

    I remember going in the Southend Pier museum and they had a no photograph policy. I just asked for a refund and let my kids go round themselves.

    Bikes on trains - do I have priority over somebody sat in the bike storage area?

    When waiting at Whitechapel for an Abbey Wood service this Thursday I let the first train go and even the 2nd one was packed and a passenger with a bike got off. I would be too worried to take a bike on a packed train should a passenger gash their leg, and then my head. I'm sure I hear that no...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I remember when I took my son and daughter to Carlisle for a few days and we went on the sleeper to Glasgow and we stopped at Carlisle if my memory serves me right but we preferred to get of at Glc as it would have been too early to get off. We were going to do the scenic route back but was too...

    I use to know the names of most football grounds having been to about 70 in the uk but now many have changed or added a sponsor I would've thought.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I'd say half and half and it was a perfect landing which everyone found funny.

    It was the fold down seat where you get on.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Popped in the Dundee lounge after watching Dundee v Hearts with my son just to say hello and that we were travelling from the sleeper from Inverness tomorrow. We spent a few nights in Perth and got the sleeper back from Inverness. Lovely times. Going from Perth to Inverness the ticket lady gave...

    What is going wrong at Avanti West Coast?

    That also seems to be a problem. Seems they can't get an in between temperature. You have to go prepared with either t-shirt or sleeping bag, infact I'd take a miniature pop up tent if on a journey to glc in case we're are off loaded late at night which saves booking an hotel.

    What is going wrong at Avanti West Coast?

    How about sauna type carriages. Their x page has 2-3 complaints daily over unbearable temperatures. This has been going on for over a year as I read the tweets each day, like a hobby.

    So not having var saved Utd and having var got them to the final. The games only fit for banter now.

    Worst thing that's happened to you on the railway (that you're willing to share)?

    Sat watching my train for Norwich leave at Chelmsford. I'm waiting for the big iron to come in and they changed the rolling stock to a 321. Because I had a cheap ticket I had to go a purchase another. I wasn't happy as there were no announcements but the guy selling me the ticket said he had no...

    At least they never threw it. I hope they win the lot.

    Last night Both fans and players of Liverpool after making the final were acting as if it was a charity match. No jubilant atmosphere like the previous night at Newcastle. Also you wouldn't think that Tottenham are or were one of the top 6 six club. How standards have fallen.

    Did they spend when last promoted or did the owners just enjoy a massive pay day?

    Football

    For sure it was. I looked forward to it all week and yes it wasn't as expensive but I chucked in my season ticket after the club fielded a cup tied player which resulted in the rematch versus villa which they won and we were favs for the lge cup which we never won. After that rematch there were...

    All the money wasted following a club that had no ambition other than ripping it's fans off. Hindsight of course now I have children and grandchildren. At the time I thought I'd be sad and single all my life so I started travelling that way. I stopped around 1997 and don't regret it at all.
