Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes Alice we're on the Bristol - Swindon train (it might be from Wales originally, not sure as I'm getting on at Brizzle Parkway). I've got your mobile number and I think you should have mine? Let me know if you haven't. It'll be nice to make our way to and from, together :-)

This is a public service announcement, without guitars

Very little disruption *planned* by TfL this weekend, the main headlines being...

Piccadilly line

There will be no service between Acton Town and Uxbridge. This is while we replace track at South Harrow and Alperton.

London Overground

Trains will not run between Romford and Upminster, due to Crossrail and Network Rail infrastructure work.

TfL Rail

Trains will not run between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. This is due to Network Rail overhead line and track upgrade work.

In other public service announcement news - rugby at Twickenham will mean travel via Waterloo will be 'interesting' ... (especially for me as I will be getting the train home - to Twickenham - at about the same time as 80,000 rugby fans)

Fortunately - in terms of the pub - the Eng-er-land game is at 5:00 so we should be gone by then. Except for the hard-core heavy drinkers :-o

(I now have in my brain 'Unless it was done, by a po-lice-man, or an aristoCRAT!')

Exploratory run done. 8 minutes from Eldest's house to Cutty Sark.

Eldest son is one of those 80,000 rugby fans, which is why he's decided against the run.
