    Rules of the Route/Plan

    If an engineering access statement has been written down for the 2013 section, is there a chance this can be amended? In particular the below examples traffic remarks. My example is Possession ref P2013/1523319 which is a weekend block.

    American Express vs VISA

    Has anyone had any experience with American Express? I'm thinking of changing over from a VISA Credit to an AMEX for the perks alone and clearing a balance in full is not an issue so I'm not bothered that it's a charge card. How often have every day shops refused to take them?
