Sadly, from a purely personal pov, no sign of a return for evening services on the 5 or 16

Seems a long delay? There's hardly a mass of new route to learn. Just very disappointed I'm going to miss out when I stay for 5 days in late May.

4 Weeks on Sunday until I'm there. Desperately hoping I'll get to ride a tram along Talbot Road!

I happened to be in Morrisons this afternoon whilst amongst other stuff, fresh cream cakes were being marked down heavly, to 21p! They were being put in the reduced chilled section, and the assistant had a barrier around him. Although I was only looking, I was told that if I wanted anything, I'd...

I'll be in Blackpool for a few days from 19th May. I won't get my hopes up too high!

Reported in the Stoke Sentinel that they're starting a twice a day service from Hanley to Mancherster airport. I don't know if it's just going to be an extra stop on the Birmingham to Manchester airport service? Probably so.

There were many routes in Stoke & North Staffordshire that could only operate single deckers, some years ago even the deckers had to be low roof varieties. For many years, there were no double deckers at all operated by First Potteries, it's only been in the last few years that they've made a...

News in The Gazette that the signage is now up for the North Station tram stop. The hotel is due to open in the next month.

Read on the Gazette that the North Station hotel is due to open in the "next couple of months" and is taking bookings. So hopefully, it won't be too long now before the tram service can start.

It was PMT Atlanteans for me. They didn't run on our local services, we had Leyland Titan front entrance on 1 route and a variety of AEC single deckers on the other. When we visited my Grandma or Auntie, I got to go on these "strange" and exotic buses, with strange seats! I was also very fond of...

First haven't run in the Potteries on Boxing Day for over 30 years, long before they were even First I think. They probably inherited a situation they were in full agreement with, running the minimum possible service is always their primary objective in this area.

As usual, First Potteries will operate no services on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New YearsDay.

After decades with stable pack sizes of 80,160,240 etc. PG Tips tea bags are now in 210s not 240s. The Asda price was £5.50, so not much difference to the old price for 240. They just have us over a barrel.

Yes, I spent a couple of minutes searching for a lettuce that was not frost damaged on Friday. On many of them, the edges of the leaves at the opening were still frozen solid. I assume they're not actully stored frozen, but are touching the side of a fridge which can sometimes freeze.

Morrisons have started selling potatoes in non "see through" bags. You can't tell what the potatoes are like inside. I've just had to chuck about a 3rd of a bag away which were unusable. Sneaky move again to sell crap as good.
