What do you use time and again during a normal spring, but sits unused at the moment?  |

My rail card is putting it's feet up too. I went for the 3 year option and it's already way more than paid for itself but this would have been one of it's busy times of year in normal circumstances.
My National Trust card has joined my rail card when normally it would be working hard this time of year. Fortunately, it's a life membership that I've had since the 1990s when they were only 250 quid, a give away compared to today.
My zoo membership is also taking it easy right now but both myself and boss lady have been notified by email that we can extend our memberships free for an extra month.
To balance things out, my Debit Card has been working out harder in an attempt to help with the current crisis by reducing the amount of cash being handed around.

I had a Sky Sports subscription direct from Sky. They have suspended my subscription for the duration, but still give me access to those channels. |

I wonder if railcard holders will get an extension or something. Seems almost churlish to even raise the question. Noting how, yes, we've had good value ... |

My RailRiders pack arrived on day two of lockdown.   Also hair gel and razor isn’t seeing much use at the moment for presentation working at home! |

1. My car, which I now only use for the week's Big Shop. It's 12 years old, so it's not as if it's a brand new model depreciating away unused on my drive.
2. Senior Railcard (due for renewal in July).
3. Cash.
I was about to renew my "60 quid green bin" sub, but I anticipated the collection service would be an early victim to reduced services. So it proved; four of my nine neighbours still put their green bins out last Wednesday. Existing subscriptions will be extended once normal service is resumed.

If considering only articles that would see regular use in normal times,
Wallet and contents.
Outdoor clothing and boots.
Front door key.
Cigarettes. (I don't smoke but keep a supply for visitors, of which there are none at present)
Cellphone, only used when I go out which is very rare at present.
I do however have numerous items that see no or almost no use even when times are normal, and remain unused under present circumstances.
Reserve stocks of food, fuel, water, clothing, bedding, and other supplies, are by definition not used normally.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.
