poor little thing, you must have really frightened him to make him pee himself…he must be camera shy..;-)

“Do you mean that Virgin Mobile signal levels are as good as Orange used to be or only as good as Orange is now?” Well I’m comparing two phones together as I work around telford and the surrounding areas. The signal on the virgin phone seems to be as strong or slightly stronger than the [...]

Just a quick update to say that the W and S railway are running 2 extra trains for the Summer holidays. There is an extra train on Friday evenings from London (leaving at 20-03pm) getting into Wellington at 22-58pm and there is an extra train on Saturdays mornings going to London leaving Wellington at 09-21am [...]

Do you mean that Virgin Mobile signal levels are as good as Orange used to be or only as good as Orange is now? I’ve been with Orange for many years myself and I have also recently had the same problems that you have had. I receive a lot of calls but I don’t make [...]

I’ve been on Orange for over ten years now and quite frankly the network is now crap compared to what it used to be. Where I live I have always had a full 5 bar signal but I am now finding that it will die to nothing, quite frequently and stay down for ages. I [...]

the networks guy I spoke to said it’s going to be a year before they merge the networks and they’re hoping but aren’t convinced that it will make things better.

I probably will use the service again – based on cost alone, but the cost increases when the cab fare from the station to destination is factored in. I used the motorbike last time I went to the city. Never again, surrounded by suicide jockeys on bikes, mopeds,scooters and taxis. No saving in time due [...]

Mrs M uses the service four or five times a year and has done since its launch two years ago. The rolling stock was modernised last year and according to her is top-class for comfort. With that, the fares, reliability and service she now refuses to use the Virgin service with its change of trains [...]

I think since wonkotsane and hagar used the trains, the rolling stock has been updated and refurbished – Yes there are plenty of seats and there are clean modern toilets!!! I recommend they try the service again. By the way London Marylebone is a much more pleasant station than Euston and its an easy 10 [...]

I have used it once. Tatty carriages, longer journey and terminates at the wrong station if you are making for the city centre. But it is cheaper than the Virgin train/route and you can almost be sure of getting a seat, unlike some of the virgin trains. I stood all the way to London on [...]

I caught it back from London a few months ago. It’s a good service but I thought the carriages were a bit dated and the seats weren’t designed for fatties.

I don’t campaign for ‘cyclists’, I use the term ‘vulnerable’ road users because, relative to the rest of Europe, it really is children and pedestrians that seem to be coming off worst in accident statistics. Before I even start looking at the practicalities of what you suggest, I’m still struggling to see how inanimate asphalt [...]
