Just over two weeks ago, the Coffee Shop moved from http: to https: and with a new page at the top of the domain. And at that time, the main thing for that front page waste say - to regular members - was, yes, this is the Coffee Shop and provide navigation.

The purpose of the page changes ... rather than the short term re-assurance that it IS the Coffee Shop, we can take up the "real estate" of the big headline with:
* A welcome to newcomers including data on how to reach us
* Status data on the Coffee Shop's recent operation
which is more useful in the longer term and with the changing need of that page.

The page still - and will continue - to carry the main navigation icons and links to the resources on the Coffee Shop which are either to the right on a laptop, or below on a narrow device such as a phone.

Description here - if it's useful to you - on the status line which flags (from latest first) the most recent activity. At this stage, a link on a single letter (occasionally symbol) indicates a public post which is the most recent addition to a thread, the letter or symbol differing from board to board.



Here are some of the status letters
@ - Who's Who
B - Fares Fair
C - Buses and other ways
[ - Help and assistance
It's just one line on the report - very useful to me. If you don't like it, please ignore.

I'm not sure I've ever looked at the Home page.  I stumbled across the Forum many years ago and soon saved "Recent Unread Topics" as a shortcut.  I may have to explore more fully!

Please do - it's rather like an encyclopedia of public transport (and other) issues here. Wink

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate. We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
