Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

I am surprised none of the other UK cities have adopted the TfL approach but maybe it's on a case by case basis. https://www.tfwm.org.uk/ An interesting arrangement, they're part of the WMCA, but have bus franchising powers, as well as control over some rail routes and trams. They also seem to have...

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10

Relatedly, the mystery of that Windows XP OOBE (title.wma) theme came from - which I must have Googled every year since 2001 - was solved a couple of years ago, with this upload . It wasn't written for Windows XP at all, and rather was just a track they had lying around since Windows 98. There is a...

Re: Local Newspaper Feeds

To be fair that's probably the result of the police press officers delaying releasing things: https://www.humberside.police.uk/news/two-arrested-money-laundering-and-drugs-offences Dated 8th Feb, despite the policing activity taking place on the 3rd Feb, Assuming they were RUI within the 24 hour PAC...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

The ORR rail station stats were released today. Some staggering figures were released where Covid really did change everything where some London interchange stations performed better this year than the main terminal stations. Stratford in East London was the most used rail station in the UK, follow...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Just noticed this gem And I'm not a 'boy", I'm the first LGBTQ+ person on this forum. A genderfluid abrosexual. Also a reason why they did this, maybe it's because of corona https://tvliveforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=41396#p41396 Either we're into new levels of diversity and they're totally genuin...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Since when has not liking something the BBC do been seen as 'BBC bashing' - in fact I think that phrase is manufactured by BBC employees that feel some loyalty towards their employer or those that can't see when they're doing wrong. People need to accept that just as some people love the new BBC log...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Is today the day of the forum works ahead of the BBC rebrand? Because my screen has gone back to the standard phpBB template and I'm showing as logged in as different people.

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

And while I’m here, what is it with people who are so wilfully ignorant? Google exists. I think a lot of people seemingly can't be bothered, as said above by Charlie, people seem that used to asking questions on comments and feeds and getting an answer from someone else they forget to Google things...

Re: Fuel situation in your area

Today's highlight was trying to get somewhere at work and a queue of cars (no stereotypes but mostly Audi and BMW) tailing a fuel tanker... Which had a completely blank HazChem panel and L plates displayed. We followed them ourselves for about 5 minutes as they were travelling in the same direction ...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

I wonder what will happen to the Sheffield Supertram which Stagecoach run as a concession as National Express have no experience running trams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Express_Midland_Metro As others have said if the Sheffield concession is due to end, leave it as it is. NXG have own...

Re: Fuel situation in your area

I don’t have a car so it doesn’t massively impact me however we do use vehicles at work for 24/7 emergency response work. Years ago we did away with our own centralised fuelling station for diesel and began relying on fuel cards. Yesterday everyone was instructed to fill the tanks on all vehicles - ...
