I’ve heard that there’s something wrong with the parking signs so that the parking restrictions can’t be enforced. Not quite sure how true that is though.

You mean that pavement which is signposted for dual use by cyclists and pedestrians? Yeah, odd that.

It’s a shame that some of those attending the Ale Trail made themselves look like fool with their behaviour when they couldn’t find the bus they needed. By which I mean running out in front of traffic at 2pm

Would have helped if the buses turned up when they were meant to, if indeed the buses turned up to the some of the venues at all. Mass confusion all round.

Knowing how much each venue paid to be part of it I be surprised if it needed any public funding.

2002, maybe early 2003.

I understand that Wrexham is cheap compared to Manchester or London but that argument is not good enough.

I paid £2.50 for 24 hours in Manchester City Centre a couple of weeks ago.

The it’s time for all right minded motorists to get a nice set of bull-bars fitted and rid the roads of the unwashed, untaxed, uninsured, smug, law breaking, bad manered louts who hide under the name of ‘cyclists’.

You have some deeply unpleasant issues going on.

The original wording I saw just said “beers, lagers and ciders”. (Quite how lager isn’t classified as a beer there I’m not sure).

Apart from what I think is the snobbery aspect – obviously only the riff raff would drink that – it just means that the intended people it’s targetting are just going to go to Lidl and get a bottle of Vodka or wine instead.

Really grinds my gears.

Maybe if the police weren’t so busy looking after big business’s interests (see the shoplifting article) they could possibly find time to wander around the communities and provide a presence so antisocial behaviour is less likely to happen.

If Arriva want to prosecute under section 5 then they have to prove intent. If however, they prosecute under the Railway Bylaw section 18 then it’s a strict liability offence of having no ticket. The latter charge does not carry the threat of a criminal record.

And at the moment, the payment requested is NOT a fine. Only a court can impose a fine. It’s more of an out of court settlement. The TOCs generally prefer this as they get to keep the money, if it goes to prosection then they don’t receive any proportion of the fine.

The direct trains still exist (1 every two hours) but there’s currently engineering work between Wolverhampton and Birmingham so it’s easier to go via Chester.
