    Warwickshire players doing well against durham isn't unusual, I remember a Warwicks left hander get 501 not out, and even Keith Piper managed to get a century at the other end.

    thank you. It is disapointing as the customer has experienced delay and inconvinience, as a direct result of the actions of the TOC.

    Some guidance from the experts here please. A customer purchases tickets, through the TOC's app, on Nov 20th, with specific trains, on Dec 2nd, quoted on the ticket and sale confirmation document. The TOC then cancels the specified trains, after the purchase date, causing the customer to...

    It would be a lot easier, more comfortable, more convinient and significantly cheaper just to drive, especially if more than one person was travelling.

    Controversial railway opinions (without a firm foundation in logic..)

    Delay repay should be paid at the rate of 100% of the standard single walk up fare if there is any delay to the arrival time. This will encourage the industry to improve the on time performance, and encourage new passengers.

    Accommodation suggestions and reviews

    I'm surprised that nobody has yet mentioned the "Sleeperz" chain of hotels, they have sites in Newcastle and Cardiff that are a few minutes walk from the station, and even have some rooms overlooking the tracks. The decor and style of the hotels is very similar to the ibis chain, and they offer...

    Travel from UK to USA and moving about there.

    BA will be able to answer your question concerning flight delays, but usually, if you fail to board the fist leg of a journey, all other legs are voided.

Yes, Russia should be excluded from all international sporting bodies and events until it totally withdraws...

    On a more positive note, the England U19 team play in the final of the ICC U19 world cup today. Live on Sky sports from 1pm, also audio coverage on the BBC Sounds web page and app. As for the senior England side, the new coach and selectors would ideally not be connected to either Surrey or...

    Indeed, if considered to be deliberate, the umpire could consider it a "Level 4" offence and send the player off. consequences for the player and captain would be a lengthy suspension.

    Cricket

    A shame "Class800" failed to mention the magnificent all round performance by Warwickshire's Jacob Bethell, who took 1 for 33 from his 7 overs before hitting a magnificent 88 of just 44 balls.. Also, bowling beamers is against the laws, and the spirit of the game.

    Is it time to raise motor fuel duty?

    Raising fuel duty will have a massive effect on inflation, and increase the transport costs for all companies that are manufaturing or providing services, leading to a loss of jobs. Do we really want to increase inflation and unemployment at the current time?
