    Liverpool street trains tonight

    Major problems on Liverpool Street Line this morning overhead power lines down. Looking at the Greater Anglia website still problems now (3.15). Delays and some trains only going as far as Hockley. DoDtS

    NO train disruption this saturday

    Just checked the Greater Anglia website and there is NO planned disruption this weekend. :thumbsup: MK what you talking about???
  3. Rail franchises extended

    https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/franchise-announcement For all the rail commuters out there, the two rail franchises which serve Southend have been extended today. I would assume that people would be happier to hear that C2C's has been extended by 16 months to September 2014 than Greater...

    Good news!

    1. Phil Brown doesn't appear to have been appointed - at least yet. 2. We have a train named after us. C2C are great. I've never missed the only goal of a game against the reigning League Cup holders and soon to be League Champions because of train delays when traveling C2C and their trains are...

  6. Beginning of the end for how many clubs?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21238173 Just how many clubs must be in fear of legislation making their existence impossible? Nice bit; Greater representation for supporters and tackling issues that concern them such as ownership and effective financial regulation is an issue critics...

  8. Is Ron being advised?

    Ok, so we haven't heard from Ronny Martini for a long time. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who can sit back and not say anything. In the past we've had Q&A's, blogs etc etc. I, like many welcomed these, even if he did make promises he didn't/couldn't keep, and he may well have lied (I...
  9. The Close Season

    A wee birdie ask me to explain too the fans the difficult time a club has in the none playing months. Firstly most footballing people are on holiday between early may and early july. So when trying to add to your squad the main difficulties are having all parties available thus the time span in...

    Actors in films before their time

    I watched Omen III last night, and saw Eric Richard as an astronomer's technician. Eric went on to greater success as Bob Cryer on the Bill. Two more examples came to mind of people in films who had bit-parts who went onto bigger things (for them anyway) - Larry Lamb (Archie in Eastenders) is...

    The Truth About The West Bank

    Have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4CbuIcWaoo I think it gives a perspective on the West Bank issue that isn't usually explained in the UK Media. It's interesting in so far as it explains why we are where we are, and gives a greater understanding to the Israeli position. It's...

    The Premiership have withdrawn funding from SD over a couple of Tweets made in May by the then Chief Exec. Dave Boyle. Whilst the Tweets were offensive and aimed at Franchise FC and Winkleman in particular, after AFC Wimbledon secured Promotion to the Football League, the Premiership are using...

    Tube Strikes

    Not on the politics sub-forum as I don't see this as political but common sense. I note that the RMT intend to strike 2 x 3 days over two weeks in order to save the jobs of, er, TWO of their members. Here's a shock, they just happen to be senior union activists. I don't wish to be...

  16. Plymouth into Administration

    Interesting quote from BBC website on Plymouth Argyle going into administration but surviving an HMRC winding-up order: HMRC applied for a winding-up petition as without it they feared they could lose out on money owed to them by the club because of the administration process. Normal...

    Couldn't put it better myself Oliver Kay On Thursday 3rd February 2011, @OliverKayTimes said: A 1,000-word tweet dedicated to Gary Neville, the great overachiever ... There was, it is fair to say, a lively response last night when, in tribute to Gary Neville, I called him "one of world...

    My Scouting mission to Ipswich

    Due to not having a lot to do on the Friday before heading up to Leicester (or somewhere, not entirely sure though!) I headed down to Loftus Road for a second time this season with a few Ipswich supporting mates. Here's my take on their team (admittedly from that one showing and the Col...

    Air Ambulances

    Why do they get no government funding?? I bet if Ewan Blair got knocked down by a car in Essex the EAA would get called out no doubt about it, yet for years Blair has ignored calls for a Government subsidy to help these invaluable services. On another note, the beeb have just wasted £1.2...
