    Devices, operating systems and web browsers apparently favoured by the over-70s

    My mum has a Doro 8030 and I find it harder to use and more awkward than my Samsung Galaxy Note 10. Doro phones are supposed to be pensioner friendly.

    Greater Anglia Rolling Stock Updates

    There needs to be high level sackings, this situation is a joke, I wouldn't be surprised to see commuters kicking off and taking some kind of protest action some of them are paying thousands of pounds for this rubbish.

    Why is the GEML always closed on weekends?

    I think that the issue is that despite having endless weekend engineering works and closures at my sister's local station Ponders End she has seen zero improvement to the service for about thirty years and to add insult to injury the station office has been permanently closed.

    Election 2019 - promises
