Train times

If you are in the UK right now, or are intending to come very soon, and are going to be using the trains, then you should be aware that a new timetable for the whole UK comes into force this Sunday ie 2 June 2024.

For most services there will be little change, some tweaks of timing and possibly frequency, but there could be major changes on some lines, maybe services withdrawn or new ones added.

So, if you are intending to travel, do double check what is going on, especially if you booked a while ago and double especially if you have connections..

All the major rail companies can provide information as can sites like Trainline or National Rail.

The B**** Bus

We had an election in London recently, for Mayor. This is not the Lord Mayor who has a show, but the Mayor who is responsible for law and order, transport etc.

The winner was Sadiq Khan, who starts his third term. He first became Mayor in 2016. I am not a big fan of Mr Khan, or what he has done, but voted for him, as I’m sure many did, because the alternatives were so much worse.

In a speech, Khan said he intends to make London a great city. No-one asked him why he hadn’t done it in his first two terms, but that’s politics – you can say what you want and no-one questions it.

He did say one thing he was going to do – remove Boris buses from our streets by 2030.
