I am delighted when a member starts a new thread - but PLEASE can I ask you, when you do, to put enough information in the subject line for it to give a summary - headline - of what it's about.  The new (mobile phone friendly) front pages to use the headlines to help people navigate - here is what I'm seeing today and these are good titles.

From today:

at 19:37: Inline expansion of abbreviations
at 19:36: 175s to GWR (Great Western Railway)
at 16:10: PAYG (Pay as you go) Smartcard Offer - March 2025.
at 15:59: Ticket offices - changes afoot?
at 14:42: Major rail accident in Greece - 28 Feb 2023
at 14:28: Flooding at Nailsea and Backwell - historic, 14 January 2023

at 12:28: Government backing 2nd runway at Gatwick
at 09:27: North Cotswold line delays and cancellations - 2025
at 08:25: 27th February - day out in Portsmouth

at 07:36: Thames Valley infrastructure problems causing disruption elsewhere - 2025
at 07:35: HS2 (The next High Speed line(s)) - Government proposals, alternative routes and general discussion

It's a good idea to include both a link and a short quotation in the body of the post too - again such a help as screen sizes get smaller, and it makes our archive so much more useful into the future.  Thanks!

Edit note: Minor corrections to spelling and grammar, purely for clarity.  Chris from Nailsea.
