As they no longer have to tap their oyster card in London, shall we be seeing an increase in passenger numbers?! How would they monitor passenger count, if no-one is tapping?

I thought the speech Matt Hancock gave on the 5pm brief was very sweet. See link below.

It almost sounds like you enjoy it when there’s chaos. i.e. signal failures, points, delays, cancellations, (wind, snow, rain)! I would imagine it would be dull. But perhaps other people prefer the slower pace, and see it as getting paid for doing “less work”!

Thanks for the replies. Have a lot of agency workers been “laid-off”, then? Because they have cut services by well over a half. For those who still have to work at stations at the moment, how are you finding it? It it stressful/anxious, boring, or do you have more time for a chit chat with...

Hi, I’m currently working from home (checking my email once a day) and thought of applying for a job at a local supermarket (as that’s where the current demand is). On the other hand, apply for an agency job at the railways. It’s my real passion! supermarket = extra cash railway = career...

Standard terms and conditions with an agency. If you get a permanent contract, the employer would have to pay a fee. Or the other option is, you end your contract with the agency, and have to wait 6 months before you can be hired by the company direct, without them having to pay an agency fee...

Where was that and which subject?

I used london bridge for the first time yesterday, and I found it very confusing!

Not reliable if you get a puncture on your tyre!

I would play pachelbel canon. It's very calming and soothing and people, are often in a manic rush at train stations. Evertime I hear people playing it on the piano at St Pancras, I always stop and film it. It always seems to draw a crowd. Google it if you don't know it.

I thought if you left the premises, then that was classed as BoJ. But if you stayed on the station, and say used the facilities toilet, go for a coffee on site, whsmith, pret or whatever, then that was fine.

I live 5 minutes away from Lidl. I never shop there. Although I don't appreciate it now, I may well miss having a supermarket a stone's throw away from me in 10 years' time. I'm just not a big foodie.

Is this on their website? I know on fridays VTWC eased the off peak restriction to MKC. But have LNW done a blanket easement?

Say you made a single journey from kentish town to london blackfriars, on a Saturday or Sunday . If you had an oyster with a network railcard loaded, you could get a third off, from the usual oyster zone 1 zone 2 fare?

What about weekends, where minimum fare restrictions don't apply?
