You were released without further investigation. Maybe you were 100% confident that was going to be the outcome. And I'd be inclined not to disclose arrests that had led to no further action too. In the general case, it won't be the outcome for everyone. And by the time a conviction has taken...

As part of my employment contract I had to acknowledge that my employer had a vetting process and would vet criminal records etc. Agree with Haywain's post earlier that 43066s advice to withhold this information is most likely to make matters worse.

Card only means volunteers can finish earlier at the end of the day because they don't have to cash up , which is why the bar at my social club is card only (it could take up to an hour extra at a time you just want to get home).

I recall doing one of the Dover - Manchester/Liverpool trains that ran in the late 80s/early 90s diverted via Birkbeck.

The Victoria services will be at XX20 and XX 50, so (1) in terms of bridging the gap that's job done and (2) the slow CHX couldn't run as now .

Swanage, when 33012/33111 are in use.

Waterloo, in the Colonnades.

On a positive note , and I can't say I'm familiar with all of these candidates but of the ones I do know there is nothing to match the state that in the past eg Manchester Victoria pre rebuild, Wakefield Kirkgate or going a bit further back Broad Street got into.

Currently a 5 minute delay on the 0547 HGS seems sufficient to put 20 extra minutes on the following Tunbridge Wells starter, so I get that change.

Anecdotally from a friend who uses the service regularly, they still go via Lewisham most of the time, even though they don't stp there "And our simpler timetable is designed so that as more customers travel with us in future, it’s possible to add more trains, and takes other factors, such as...

Agree that the timetable is as much of the problem as reliability issues. Until December I had a train +/- 15 minutes either side of my planned train , if there was a problem with the intended train as often as not I would find out in time to get the earlier train. It's now +/- 30 so there's no...

I’m pretty familiar with the location of the London termini thank you. In the early 1980s the fast Waterloo E to Ashford stopping pattern trains were timed 61-63 minutes from Charing Cross. Let’s take that as the fastest you can possibly make it (many SE services are slower now) . HS1 is 37-38...

Well, HS1 trains are the obvious answer for such passengers needing a faster service.
