The transition from BT to EE is being a pain. Glad I had the 4G Hybrid Connect on my contract. Openreach did their bit for the fibre modem on Wednesday, but it won't talk to either the new EE Hub or the old BT hub, despite all the Openreach lights indicating a connection. Another engineer next week.

Way to go SWTrains. Perfectly good 450 with 2 x wheelchair spaces and 2 x bike spaces per 8 car replaced by a 458/4 with no bike spaces, even though still 8 car. Thought I was losing it when I couldn’t find 3 flip down seat equivalent. Not like there is any luggage space either.

Is there an algorithm programmed into beg buttons on crossings? As in per crossing, determined by traffic flow? In London, you can wait ages for the green man. I was in Sunningdale this week, and the crossing of the main road by the train station, it's instant green man. Should all be like this.

Wind is definitely picking up at LHR (occasionally crosswinds exceeding limits) as that's 3 in a row gone around - Emirates A380, Saudi, and a BA flight from Gibraltar. Who needs Big Jet TV when you have a bedroom window facing the point of no return over the fence?

"We shouldn't be putting immigrants in hotels straight off the boats, we should look after our own first". Or not?/s
Using a town centre hotel to house homeless people will not be ruled out, despite hundreds of objections.

More than 500 people signed a petition - launched by former MP Jonathan Gullis - calling on the city council to find alternative solutions.

Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Matt Hancock and Michael Gove ran the Covid PPE lanes, while Rishi Sunak rubber stamped every payment.

Given the £14.9bn in fraud they should all be in jail.

RP if you agree.

Yeah I can't see this approach working with SWR, other than to give them another excuse for delays with 'fire on the line' vs 'fire alongside the line'.
It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.
