There’s always one who doesn’t get gallows humour.

As it is, it’s for those affected to decide if they can see the lighter side.

And in this case, I toned it down a lot from what he was telling me to put

Him indoors was the one who hit the cows...... 10 taken out in one go.  He was on the way down towards Chippenham and took them out at 125mph.

funnily enough, it was not his train that was disabled.  It carried on to Temple Meads with numerous faults at 40mph - it was the up train that only hit the arse end of one that was stranded.

The butcher of bridgwater is holding a massive BBQ next weekend - everyone invited.

So what would stop a new style ticket being re-used (if still in date) if its not physically updated like the old style ones get clipped or scribbled on.

If the QR (QR Code - Quick Response code (2D bar code)) code is scanned, does it mark the ticket as used in a central database somewhere........

I can't see how it would because of connection issues.

I'm just intrigued because guards are keen to visually check other tickets and clip them..... but just seem to QR scan the new ones....

And what about mother/and daughter with the same name?

Or even in this new self IDing transgender world, a mother/son or father/daughter with the same name?

Must be inclusive now, remember.

Are any hst or 180?

Planning to do a trip up the valleys on Saturday ending in carmarthen on Saturday evening

I know Wales are away to Ireland on Sunday - would it be expected trains out to cArmarthan around 1600-1900 on Saturday would be rammed wig supported going to Ireland by ferry?

Not sure what normal
Loading a would be and can rearrange if it's likely to be a literal rugby scrum

Hi

during the week of the reading blockade does anyone know which if any are going from Exeter to Waterloo?

Him indoors say drivers are treated like mushrooms and just knows some are but not which

I need to get to Waterloo so would be easier than via Oxford to pad. It's Tuesday after Easter Monday

?
