In living in Wolverhampton and in wanting to know if they’ll soon be different way of reaching London: I hope so! :p

Was on 807001 this morning on the 07:36 from Wolverhampton to Birmingham New Street - originating as the 07:04 from Crewe. The 07:36 used to be the service from Shrewsbury before it’s axing in June, so pleased to see it back. The Evero’s are an improvement on the Voyagers and with them 7...

In working for Regional Government, my Mayor is very pleased in seeing this news emerge last night. Maybe it can and will eventually mean Wolves to Walsall in 12 minutes again - and not in an hour plus via Brum for goodness sake?! Going to be interesting reading the White Paper in full when it...

Official Government announcement is below plus in the link, that South Western is first in the Spring, C2C is in the Summer and Greater Angela is in the Autumn.

The specific wording on Open Access Operators, as on Page 6 of Labour’s full document (linked below):

As a Labour member, this looks quite like the promises made in the last two Manifestos, with some tweaks here and there. No doubt the conclusion of individual franchises at the end of contracts is the easiest option on the table, but will cost a fair bit. With the timespan of 6 years, I...

They should be.

I did think that myself when boarding it ahaha

Doesn’t really surprise me hearing this; not least on 8/10 car sets the trolley is on only in one part of the train. That was the case yesterday afternoon with a service out of New Street.

There is just 18 days until millions of folks across England and Wales have the chance to cast ballots, in the final large-scale say of opinion before the General Election. Thursday May 2nd sees 2,655 seats be contested across the UK, with 107 Councils and a few others with By-Elections, having...

That is correct, with the final deadline for the next election being Tuesday 28th January. Let’s hope for everyone’s sake that they don’t stretch it that far!

Liberty Media announce an agreement to purchase 86% of Dorna Sports, Commercial Rights Holder of MotoGP and the World Superbikes, which will bring them into the same ownership group as Formula 1.

The 03:50am alarm call was worth it with how the opening 4 laps transpired! A mighty win for the Number 55, a very good 3-4 for the Papaya, a brilliant double points haul for the American team and a very solid drive by the Japanese man to grab 7th. I then produced my inner Carlos with a 10K PB...

Sadly now on this list: The British Youth Council, who after over 75 years have tonight declared insolvency and will close in the coming weeks. They have been affected by The Body Shop’s administration, with them having sponsored BYC’s long running Votes at 16 campaign. They have since 2011...

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-3 Coventry City The Sky Blues reach the Semi-Finals of The FA Cup after a quite extraordinary last 10 minutes of normal time and then 10 minutes of Stoppage Time at Molineux. Seeing that we were two minutes away from returning to Wembley having turned it around from...
