Me too as it goes.

It's no longer one-way either. Presumably so that the nightly street racers can reduce the gene pool by playing Banger Racing instead of Fast and the Furious.

Yeah, for someone who had never been on a bike before...it was pretty scary...

yeah! and the high speed link to the Midlands!

Anyway, partly good news for Scottish travellers- Euston and Kings Cross within easy walking distance of St.Pan!

And the promised high-speed link to Manchester? Even after they bought the trains they scrapped it. I start to think conspiracy between Virgin and GNER which scuttled it all.

Gosh, if this were France the country would have a national strike to force re-nationisation. Here we switch into our cars and then complain about the roads.

Anyone know what they are going to do with the old Eurostar terminal at Waterloo?It's a bit OTT for for the average commuter journey.
