I am trying to get Virgin West Coast train return Liverpool to London this Easter but although either side of Easter there are good advance prices, no sign of it yet over Easter! Is it worth waiting for any change in these or do they tend not to reduce in price anyway?

Utterly outraged by Transport For London.
I use AndroidPay on my mobile phone when using public transport in London. Noticed over the past few days the amounts being taken from my account have been way too much for my usage. Turns out that I've been charged some maximum cash fares. Called up TFL and was told that I probably hadn't used the same card to touch in…

My bike tyres are marked 26 X 1.85. These tyres are difficult to get and far more expensive than the more common 26 X 1.95. Will the bigger tyre fit and be safe ? Many thanks

Promo Day Return
Hello All, I've noticed some 'promo day return' tickets on the greater anglia website. Buying these would reduce the cost of my journey by £3 but I'm wondering how flexible they are.

Track pump that fits AirZound horn?
I have an AirZound bike horn, but none of the pumps I have quite fit. As much as I push down, I can't get any air in. I need a new track pump anyway -- ideally one with a double Shrader/Presta nozzle, and a pressure gauge. But most importantly, one that fits the AirZound! Any suggestions? :)

Vertical hand grip?
Hi I have a hybrid bike with a flat handle bar. I think it has been giving me shoulder/bicep trouble (aggrevating an old injury). Ideally I need attachments for the handle bars to allow my hands to have a grip closer to vertical rather than horizontal. Do such attachments exist? Or do I need a whole new handlebar?

Cycle lanes - not used

Delay Repay from mainline for tfl strike?
I have travelled into London on Greater Anglia and found that there is no way I can get to my office other than a 65 minute (on a normal day) bus ride.
