A scrolling notice at Bath Bus Stations one surviving screen of the bank of three at the west end announcing that this was becoming a problem for bus timings.

Presumably with the motorway closed and the motorway traffic seeping into the City, the Bristol CAZ zone profits mightily?

All of the TOC DR sites we have come across are, in my opinion, very easy to use. Some TOC's e.g. LNER have implemented Automatic DR for Advance Purchase tickets to make the process (sometimes) even easier.

I can't place a "former ticket hall, which provides direct access to the Bakerloo line".  If anything, the one I'm thinking of on the Eastbourne Terrace side would be closer to the District line.

I had to look up what hyrox is (apparently a competition involving a run and using some exercise equipment), but I have actually seen a hyrax. They are small and furry - see - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyrax.

Hyrox (stylized as HYROX) is an indoor fitness competition that combines 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of running and 8 functional workout stations, alternating between running and functional exercises. It bills itself as "The World Series of Fitness Racing" and "A Sport for Everybody".

Hyraxes, also called dassies, are small, stout, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the family Procaviidae within the order Hyracoidea. Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. Modern hyraxes are typically between 30 and 70 cm (12 and 28 in) in length and weigh between 2 and 5 kg (4 and 11 lb). They are superficially similar to marmots or over-large pikas but are much more closely related to elephants and sirenians.

A major rail line remains partially closed between Euston station and Watford Junction following a large fire in north London, affecting some services to cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow.

About 70 firefighters tackled the blaze, which started at about 09:30 GMT at a commercial building on Regent's Park Road in Chalk Farm, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. It was brought under control by about 13:00.

Avanti West Coast has said that while some lines have reopened, "residual delays are expected due to congestion on the network", external with disruption expected for the rest of the day.

London Northwestern Railway services from Euston have resumed following an earlier suspension.

Network Rail has advised passengers due to travel from Euston to check the status of their journey.

Other train operators are accepting tickets for services affected by the disruption, according to Network Rail, with further details on its website.

Southern trains have resumed services between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction following earlier delays. Transport for London is not reporting any delays with Overground services that run through the affected area.

The LFB said there were no reports of any injuries but at the height of the blaze most of a neighbouring property was also alight. It said it received 27 calls from the public.

The ground floor was destroyed by the fire. Half of the roof of a neighbouring property was damaged by the fire. Seven people left another neighbouring building before the Brigade arrived. There are no reports of any injuries.

The fire is close to the site of a former hot yoga studio. The cause of the blaze is not known.

Avanti West Coast services to London were reportedly held at stations as far north as Warrington.
