    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    Still no Victoria Reigate trains apart from Weekends, no Victoria from Coulsdon apart from weekends The weekend service is now better than the weekday. GTR seem to see this as an opportunity to no longer provide a proper service. When I moved here 18 years ago in the rush hour we had 4 trains an...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    I don’t know why you are worry about the truth of posts now given the amazing amount of misinformation posted in this tread

    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    Having been very critical of GTR service have to praise the driver of my train, wasn’t aware that we were being diverted by Streatham Common and Elephant & Castle until left East Croydon, managed to get a stop added at Elephant to help those who wanted London Bridge

    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    No but many do & some of those who come from South by Train also need to get train to Reigate, Actual service has been more than halved with 2ph instead of 4ph with the 2ph cut 4 coaches with the remainder 3 coaches College have sales about the possibility of extra services but told absolutely...

    No 10 rule breaking gatherings during 2020.

    People on here who broke rules didn’t set those rules and tell people they were expected to follow them & introduce legislation that prosecuted rule breakers The politicians and Civil Servants did that is where the double stand exists

    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    Interesting that they are happy to help out one of the top private day schools in London They haven’t added any extra services to Reigate to help the 1,500 college students there 1642182012 Total chaos at East Croydon at present you’d have thought that when they were running a skeleton service...

    No 10 rule breaking gatherings during 2020.

    on the COVID stats it works both ways my father in law died after a month in hospital with COVID so isn’t included in deaths of those who tested positive in the last 28 days As for the party how on earth can you defend the man, he lies consistently. How can he not know that 100 people were...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Genuine question do you honestly think we should have let first two waves of COVID to have spread further, this would have undoubtably lead to even more deaths and even greater pressure on the NHS

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    How much of an imposition are masks in reality, do they really restrict your life so much? 1641859809 Yes they do but they are at far less risk of having to do so, the unvaccinated have to isolate if they are close contact with someone who tests positive whilst the vaccinated don’t. It’s also...

    Maybe they feel it’s their duty to try and ensure others don’t suffer a similar fate.

    London Loop (walking route)

    That’s a particular lovely part of the loop I’m lucky enough to live on the route from Coulsdon to the Lavender fields and it’s well worth a visit in June when the Lavender is in full bloom

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Your point is? Those who have been honoured have given huge amounts of effort and time in the fight against the virus and efforts to prevent even more than the horrific level of deaths than we have seen Many have suffered personal abuse and death threats...

    Radio 4 currently has a programme on that will interest some on this thread. It looks into the use of behavioural science by the Government during the pandemic to influence the populations response

    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    No it doesn’t, if you are say trying to travel from East Croydon to Kingston, instead of travelling 10 minutes to Clapham and then changing for a 20 minute journey to Kingston a total of say 40 mins top if you have a 10 minute connection You now have a 40 minute journey to Waterloo East...

    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    What about passengers who have travel like medical staff who can’t work from home or students who need to attend their colleges because their college isn’t offering home learning I fully understand that their are significant staffing issues but the total removal of services to one of London’s...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    If you actually believe this you are even more deluded than you appear. You honestly think that the Government scientists have got together and decided to bring down the whole of society by making them wear masks introducing table service in bars and place some restrictions on the number of...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    Because we are members of society and we don’t just have to consider ourselves but others. this is the primary difference between the pro and anti restrictions people one group think about how the rules restrict their lives and one group think primarily about how their behaviour affects others...

    When proof is given, if masks don’t work then why do hospital staff all wear them in surgical situations to prevent them infecting their patients

    GTR cancellations including not operating from Victoria until 10th Jan

    I’d suggest that they provide at least some service to their main terminus and the biggest interchange on the network (Clapham). London Bridge is a very long way from Victoria and having to travel via London Bridge and Waterloo to connect to SWT services extends journey times by up to an hour I...

    Omicron variant and the measures implemented in response to it

    So you are suggesting that people who test positive just ignore the results and carry on spread the virus amongst the population I understand that the current version is less serious than previous versions but suggesting that people just deliberately spread it is one of the worst takes I’ve...
