My recent Sunday RRB from Didcot Parkway to Oxford have had full ticket checks on arrival, in the car park at Oxford

There are some buses as replacements re Nuneham Viaduct - not least Oxford to Swindon

Just to say went Paddington to Oxford mid-afternoon today and the journey was better than expected. I was lucky but train was not full and then got a half-empty RRB which left within 2 minutes of me getting on and traffic into Oxford was reasonable. So more comfortable and almost as quick as I...

The GWR ad was in the copy I bought my mother this morning

Currently the Rail Replacement Buses at Oxford are using the station forecourt rather than the car park.

At the moment all my local charity shops are taking donations by appointment only - suggesting they have a lot of stock

One of my weirdest experience was being abroad in a crowd of about 30000 booing "their own" national anthem. (Split 1990 Yugoslav anthem - the Croat anthem got a different response)

18:02 oxford to Paddington today. Busier than 3 weeks ago and a queue at the barriers out at Paddington. But still easy to distance and less than 10% use

I'll do it, at least once a week. Different places each time But in part to actually look at the changes and see what is too much and what is too little. At the moment, I'd be worried with any place NOT doing contact recording and looking to be doing it seriously. And I'm sure that there are...
