    Petrol and diesel prices - how much have you been paying?

    We’re about £1.63 for diesel in Stamford, which I ‘paid’ when I followed my wife’s car up. Saying that, I put it on my fuel card so I actually paid £1.56. Grantham though, is 10p less at £1.54.

    It’s been closed for years now, however I drove past on Saturday and they’re now renovating it. Whether it’s returning as a pub, not a clue.

    Yes, all current busses are Volvo, until they recently bought a new single decker ADL last year. Before that, it was all Leyland's.

    TRIVIA National Rail Stations Within 10 mins walk of a Football Stadium

    St Neots station literally backs onto the ground. I know it’s not a league ground, but it’s still football. Lowestoft Town can also be added to the list.

    Peterborough-Stamford

    I’m not suprised. Having used the service it’s loadings were terrible. I caught an 11am service which had no fewer than 5 people on it. At one point I was the only person between Wittering and Peterborough! What also hasn’t helped is covering Wittering and troubles of the A1 recently. I...

    Norfolk Green (Now Stagecoach Norfolk) to be binned

    Oddly, I was wondering what the hell was up with Stagecoach in Lynn the other week. I covered it for my old job and the half hourly Spalding services had the old, crappy busses. Ive also never fathomed why they need 3/4 busses an hour to Hunstanton (if you include Lynx in that too). Particularly...

    'Lincs Wolds Rail': my proposal for a Borders Railway for East Lindsey

    Damn straight we do! I moved from Peterborough to Bourne as it’s cheaper to live in Bourne and commute to Peterborough on a daily basis. Funny thing, my next door neighbour made the comment that he heard they’re reopening the Stamford to Bourne to Spalding Line. Considering there’s one bus a...
