    For train tickets. First use nationalrail.co.uk. Once you have found the trains click on the details button and it tells you which train operator is running the services. Then you can go to their website to see if they have cheaper deals for their own trains.

    thetrainline and RSH are both online sellers of train tickets, they are not the operators themselves.

    But yes Emerald, without taking the time to look at getting the tickets separately, the price is the same on East Coast.

    A brief rundown would be good.

    Well in our part of the world. Two walk-ins will close, the remaining one will change to an urgent care centre with specific criteria for treatment e.g. Burns fractures etc. People will be turned away if they don't meet criteria. Patients encouraged to ring ahead using 111 for appointments. Huge pushback to GPs. If you can't get an apppointment with your GP you will be offered an appointment with a GP in another surgery

    Oh dear, I'm not sure what's going on as Chocaholics had problems too. Are you using an iPad? I think she got there by using a different browser in the end :)

  • I think this is best idea anyone has come up with for A&E in a long time:

    At St George’s University hospital in south-west London, we’ve developed an innovative service that puts GPs at the forefront of making sure patients are seen by the right service. The triage and redirection system was developed collaboratively by Care UK (which funds the service and employs the GPs running it), A&E consultants at the trust and Wandsworth clinical commissioning group. So far the system has proved to be safe, effective and well-liked by patients.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
