How will the LNER strikes affect other services out of KGX?
At first I thought it wouldn't affect me, as I have no plans to travel with LNER until December, and I never travel with them at weekends anyway. However, I had planned to go bikepacking for a week doing the Rebellion Way, starting in King's Lynn on Saturday the 31st. I just realised this coincides with a strike day. Are…

Ventilation on London Double Deckers
Can anybody tell me whether the current crop of TFL double-deckers are supposed to have working air-conditioning? We always travel by DD when in London as it's the best way to see the city. We spent a couple of hours on two bus journeys on Wednesday and it was absolutely sweltering. I wouldn't be surprised if the…

First Bus Standard Fare Charge
My student son was fined £50 yesterday on First Bus in Norwich as he was unable to produce his ticket when asked. He literally got on and paid a stop prior to the inspector, and put his single ticket straight in the bin.

Can anyone recommend a helmet camera?
Hi, I'm specifically after a helmet cam for road cycling. It won't be used to create content as such, it's more for my own protection and to report close passes. I tried a Go Pro imitation thing but it was really bulky and ugly. Looking for something way more discrete. Any ideas?

Fares on the bus from Slough to Heathrow
Does anyone know (i) the fare to get from Slough to Heathrow Airport on the bus A4 or 7; (ii) whether or not the pensioner's concession card gives free travel on these services. Before anyone advises me to look on-line, this information is not given on the First (Berkshire) web site: so annoying!
