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!

And new Thameslink trains open their doors in any case at some stations.

The buttons are very tempting for young children to press especially when they are illuminated. A friend's adopted son also pulled the emergency lever on a tram last year (he has ADHD so thought it was clever).

Also, why do people repeatedly press door buttons before the train/tram has stopped and the sound/light indicates that they can now be activated? Do they not know it makes no difference and won't open any quicker?

Because underground trains may open their doors before they have stopped?

People using the word 'sleeps' to measure hoe many days until something happens/arrives.

Autocorrect which refuses to let me write 'sex' (by changing it to 'sec') but is quite happy to overlook my mis-typing of 'how' as 'hoe'.
