He's going to have a bit of a wait for a ticket from there to Northampton as the station is currently closed pending repairs to its only working platform and was previously served by a weekly "parliamentary" service. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teesside_Airport_railway_station Also Tilbury Riverside, the last train from there was in 1992 and though the station still exists it is no longer connected to the rail system. There was a replacement bus service to Tilbury Town but that has now ceased. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, are you going to have the stamina and last long enough to achieve your ultimate goal? 🤔 Perhaps you should limit your aims to Total Control of the Welsh Assembly and batter some commonsense into that mob!

The Welsh Assembly Government is the devolved tier of regional power for Wales, a bit like an American State government. There are similar bodies for Scotland and Northern Ireland; the UK government retains control of defence, policing, taxation & welfare, the National Health system, border controls, Education, and roads. The situation is a little anomalous in that there is no such body for England; the UK government fulfils that role; in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland there each constituency has a Member of Parliament at Westminster in addition to their Assembly Members, but in England there are only MPs. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FAI had to make an apology to Latvia after this was sold! Back in the 1960s (and maybe later), on a Friday one of the Glasgow evening papers (the Citizen, I think) used to have a full page of amateur football games in the Glasgow area for the coming weekend, in very small type and organized by league. Very few readers ever looked at this page, except perhaps players checking that their own game was listed. One week someone, presumably a disgruntled employee, maybe on the way out the door, inserted into the middle of this page a fictitious league made up of teams with absolutely obscene names. A guy at work brought it in on the Monday to show the rest of us. He hadn’t found it, but had been in the pub on the Friday night in a group including a football fanatic, who must have been about the only person not an actual player who ever paid any attention to that page. 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
