Wouldn't more dedicated bus lanes and more electric buses be a cheaper and more flexible option?

Spa Road, the remains of which are used as an access point to the live railway.

TFL run the night bus service through the early hours, every 30 minutes or so. If you can get to Liverpool Street or Stratford, then Stansted isn't too difficult. Not ideal if you have bulky luggage, but it's cheaper than a taxi or an overnight hotel.

Same goes for mitigate and militate. Not a few journalists on TV and radio talk about mitigating against some adverse happening.

Very interesting declaration by Stokes.

There's speculation that the terminus at Euston might be scrapped: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/27/hs2-rail-may-not-reach-central-london-cost-project-soars

New trains are endowed with advanced technology, could not the changeover be automated?

Pacific Central Vancouver has facilities for border rin both directions by train.

I thought I'd give it a try next Sunday, but there's no service on Sundays. Why's that? 1653409643 Forgot to say, no service to Abby Wood on Sundays.

Indeed, I just binge-watched A Very Peculiar Practice. Superb.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, this thread has a very long history! Almost every television programme made these days has background music, even while people are talking. Even documentaries are polluted this way. It's fair enough whilst linking between scenes or topics, but all...

There's also the impact of the disruption to production and export of food from Ukraine to areas like North Africa. If the Russians are successful in taking control of the Black Sea coast then that's going to open up a new front in the humanitarian crisis.

Oh, there isn't much more that anyone can do other than voicing support and supplying arms for fear of escalating the situation beyond what control exists. The conflict looks like continuing for months or years, so an immediate need is a concerted humanitarian effort, an area where the UK has...
