My Flight out of the UK▸ is showing as Check In Open, so all I can assume is it is running...! The rest of the family are coming out from London Gatwick on Wednesday... I'm wondering if they'll make it out there at all...  Well as long as I get there, then my Mum will be somewhat happy that my Grandfather isn't on his own   |

Hope you get back ok inspector_blakey..I suspect/hope it might be easier for you than for me to get the 30 miles to work (well at least information wise.. shame on you FGW▸ )..
I wouldn't count on it! BA» 's website has spent much of the day either down or running glacially slowly and unstably (although seems to be better now), whilst when I call their US phone number it's either engaged or tells you it's a 100 minute wait to speak to anyone. I would guess that their UK▸ call centre is under even more pressure. |

I'll race you then  Seriously tho... FGW▸ tell me to contact NR» .. who tell me all ok but might be problems so to contact FGW.. FGW customer services close at 10pm.. NR I guess are 24 hours but will only be able to tell me what their site tell me.. And in fact I called them a while back but all the up front recorded messages about disrpuption and 5 minute waits made me feel guilty for bothering them..so I hung up.. So.. I guess.. I get up tomorrow.. Check NR departures which will then show the true situation when I regret getting up as there are no trains... Deep deep sigh... to the lack of proper understandable info...again..... |

Well I just spoke to someone at NR» info... They basically read me a lot of the info I can see on FGW▸ website (which doesn't tell me the Maidenhead timings of any of the trains. just the time of where they start and which I was perfectly able to read myself and had done several times).. I was told however that at the moment the 8.11 getting in at 8.50 should run (it comes from Banbury it seems) although could change tomorrow.. How three trains worth of people will get on that I don't quite know and not sure if I want to go and see.. But it seems I have no other choice... I am not a happy customer...   |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

... and the only bit of spanish I know is how to ask for where the nearest bog is I do have a smattering of Spanish that I remember from my GCSE (I got a B-), but currently only one phrase comes to mind from a mini-play wot I wrote for a parent's evening back in 1988: ^nde est^n mis pantalones verdes? Dunno how useful that will be for you though. |
